084

[Charlieh]

Did you go with the buy it now?

I don't understand this. I saw it this afternoon and noticed that someone else had made him an offer. I offered him £84, hoping to barter a bit. About an hour and a half later the auction ended, allegedly by buy it now. But on my end it says it sold for £84, as it does if you type in the item number.

:confused1:

My offer was subject to the fact the piston had to be OEM and not aftermarket though.

 

 

Offered the same but it was a while ago not to fussed about the piston as I have one already, so it can go in the box of other 084 spares i am building up, like clutches, coils, oilers etc always handy to have spares for obsolite saws

Just so you know the 084 088 MS880 piston is the same.

 

Yes the 084, 088 and MS880 (before 2009) use the same 1124 030 2007 piston.

After 2009 the MS880 uses the 1124 030 2002 piston. Do you know if this is compatible also?

Well thats life.

 

I don't think the piston is aftermarket. If it is, you should ask for money to be knocked off as he gave the part number for the cylinder and piston, as opposed to saying "original cylinder with non-genuine piston".

084 parts will be in high demand. For example all the coils are now no longer available from the Stihl factory. The last one became NLA at the end of last year. Stihl are phasing out 084 parts.

I know, I have a spare coil but hope i never need it really. I think they are a great saw for milling though, and awesome for ringing up big timber

I havent had a new updated MS880 in my hands yet with new style muffler. I have only been in the older MS880.

 

They should have called the new updated one something difference like 881

The seller is an idiot then. If you have two people that have shown an interest in an item why wouldn't you try to get as much as possible? In other words give a counter offer. I was willing to go with BIN but thought I would try to get it cheaper first though. I sent the seller a message asking why my offer was declined and never had a response so he will be added to my sh#t list.

 

Glad you have a use for it though.

[Charlieh]

I would have also have paid the BIN but thought i would start with a low offer and chance it. Just need to sort the new crank bearings now from the local bearings specialist

You might not have a lot of fun there... The flywheel side bearing easy, however, the clutch side bearing is proprietary to Stihl.

 

9523 003 4385 is the part number and was used on all 084 saws and 088 saws up to serial number 1 54 603 854.After this the 088 crankcase had a steel ring integrally cast in the new crankcase half in the area of the clutch side bearing. Hence, 9523 003 4385 was replaced by 9523 003 4386, which has suitably modified play. According to Stihl tech notes; "The new ball bearing may only be installed in the new crankcase. The previous ball bearing remains available for older machines or the previous crankcase without an integrally cast steel ring".

 

Well the older -4385 bearing became NLA last year... The -4386 might fit but I don't know how long it will hold up. Worth a call from your Stihl Dealer to Stihl Technical.
