1983 stihl 009

[Gav73]

Came across a stihl 009 recently and was wondering if anyone on here knows of any collectors who might be interested in it? 
 

it’s a 1983 model, has the original manual and is fully working - it’s been maintained by both the original owner and then his son. I’ve used the saw and it’s runs like a dream!

 

they also had a second (non running) saw, they say probably just needs a service, which they bought for spares in case they needed it.

Not bad little saws, relatively tourqey but no AV so can give you vibe issues in your hands.

Not worth a fortune, £80-120.

I have one and it was billed as the most popular chainsaw in the US many years ago. 

It has a halfway house rear to top handle which is a bit strange but relatively comfortable.

cheers spud, yes no AV - definitely couldn’t run it all day, but it was fun to run a tank of fuel through it and everyone on the job that day had a shot with it. General consensus was it felt comfortable to hold and got the nod of approval for an old tool - especially from the younger guys when they realised it was older than them!

Haha, my Mrs is a 1983 model; I don't think she looks as old as those saws though.

Still got the original manual?

Didn't come with a manual. I reckon she's an ex-demonstator or something cos apparently a couple of other lads had a go before I got her. Maybe one of them has the manual. 😁
