Bought a 171 brand new from Cornwall farmers bout 5 years ago.....only did small jobs with it and had to sell it as I needed a better saw to do my cs30/31. Replaced it with a 2005 260, only ever put a brake band on it, rattles like the stamps and desperately needs a top end rebuild but just keeps on going! Definitely earned its keep!

First saw I ever bought was a 1980 Jonsered 630. Cost me 35 quid from an auction of equipment from Loughborough University grounds department in about 1994, and it's still going strong!

Stihl 010 AV.Bought new in 1987 - year of the storm.1421691103539.jpg.7a942a4ad0a8b4b7871cc03958f1c4c8.jpg

 

Remember first time i fired it up in a small garden in London - motorbike helmet on and about 4 parkas - psycho PPE. Neighbours bolted the doors and curtains twitched.

 

Still.on the same carb kit. 2nd spark plug in 28 yrs and that's about it. Not exactly been a maintenance burden. Well done Long Beach Stihlers.

Husky 385xp, although it's had a new crankcase, crankshaft, cylinder, 2 pistons, 2 carbs, and other miscellaneous bits! Plastics and the muffler are still original though!
