Stihl 090

[Beecham 4000-Four]

Whats the value of one of these saws today?

This is a saw my dad owned and then sold many many years ago where it was just considered a big saw and it was bought back about three years ago, little bit of attention to get it running and we used it to cut a big oak that became hollow leaning over a friends barn.

My dad wasnt sure what model it was exactly and when we bought it back the aluminium badge half with the model number on was missing so we looked up the specifications for 070 and 090 on the internet and came to the conclusion that it was an 090 as the piston stroke was too long for it to be an 070.

If you can take another photo with the clutch cover off and a photo from the other side, showing the shape of the finned part over the flywheel, I can confirm whether it's a converted 070 or an original 090. This will influence the value.

 

The proper 090 is popular for milling. A few have turned up on ebay over the past year or so which give a guide as to price. It's the AV model which helps - last one I saw sold for £350 and there have been a couple at £400, one didn't sell on first listing, the other did.

 

If you're interested in selling, drop me a PM.

 

Cheers

Definitely an 090 flywheel cover, and that doesn't look like a recent replacement! My guess is it's an original 090 but the other photo will confirm. You can also check whether it's an 090 pot and piston from the way the decompression valve is configured (without having to do any internal measurements).
