I was recently given a 280 in peices ina a box, haveing rebuilt the saw and sorted the problem that led to it being in this state I am now at a loss for one (I think) missing part. I have been over the PDF several times and am not sure what I am missing nor was the person I spoke to at the place I use for my parts. I am sure the missing part is some kind of rubber mounting the place where it should be on my saw is on the underside of the saw about an inch behind the forwerd anti vibe as can I hope be seen in the picture. Any ideas or anyone who has a 280/70 and can just have a look? Thanks in advance.

Extreeme solutions is the best of those in my opinion I also like nomad tree and driveway services.

I'd have a go for £30 had a couple of saws in similer states and done exactly what your saying it can be a gamble but as long as theres no real damage to the pot just pistion residue then it's allways worth a shot in my book, was it still running before you took it apart?
-
Very cool would like to see it on a better screen than my laptop and bigger too.

Got a few non genuine parts in some of my saw's no probs with them at all go for it.

Much as I do like it whisky makes me nasty some times not allways but the cheaper it is the less it takes, I'm fine with other top shelf though and will drink rum all day long but tend to go for a good strong dark ale:thumbup1: which just makes me stupid and noisy.

Have you considered one of the repro ones on the bay? I'v not used a cylinder but a couple of my saws have got pistions from there in em and no problems so far.

Just found this on the bay Stihl Chainsaw MS381 25" bar brand new boxed on eBay (end time 31-Jan-11 12:48:47 GMT) A look at google shows they are out there just not in our cataloge so... 1.Are they the real deal? the guy has no ebay recored. 2.Anyone used one? not a bad price if they are what they say could be tempted if all the relevent EC markings and such are there. What are everyones thoughts?

Eerrm well I'v been useing 280 instead of acid but finishing with 400 as you say the results seem sound so far (probobly just takeing longer and more work), glad to hear it can be a long term fix. Cheers.

I recently got my self an 038 super working again after getting it in the form of a box of bits with a ruined piston but a pot that I managed to clean up by hand with wet n dry paper and a fine oil, so after the addition of an after market piston I'v got what is so far a resonable back up to the 361 for the grand total of £65. I'm now trying to do the same to my 3120 as it died on it's last outing, I had known it was slighty scored but not enough to affect it's running (wishful thinking really). I was just wondering if any one else has done much of this kind of semi - fix and if it's just putting off the inevitable?
-
I did my 31 with a 361 with 16" bar with full chisel chain man up and get a real saw :001_tt2: but really the 260 is a good starting point and easyer to maintain and work on than the huskys.

Look I may have voted for the miele thingy but thats only out of hate for the pointless things dyson make IF and it's a big IF we as arborists should be fighting for any vac then surely it should be the stihl's?
-
Saw it at the APF looked good far better than any they've made so far but I didnt think it was avlibale till april? As for being better than the 020 well only a year or two's hard abuse can tell us that.
-
Only after a good nights sleep and with clean timber dont think HSE would be to keen on it. On that note I may go and make one.

No marmite and cheese is the way forwerd for sandwich's, it's also good mixed in melted butter and poured over popcorn (freshly made for preference) keep stiring as you pour though or it will seperate from the butter.

stihl chainsaw on eBay (end time 03-Dec-10 19:24:53 GMT) YEAH RIGHT!!!:lol:
-
I wish I could splice. How much would you want for one? Also loler?....I'm of a mind to just use the date you splice it as the manufacture and go from there like norm.

So the 5.5 users are hangers on to a silmpler bygone time who have yet to catch up with advances in chain technolegy. Give it a few years and it'll be me wrongly telling the young guns they should be useing 5.2 when I fail to keep up.
-
Or 3120 lets remember there is more than one 404 pitch saw in this world. Some of us are rather attached to our big orange beasts.

1, find a name written on the chain 2, Stihl chains have basic type written on depth guage, all others have basic type written on drivelink 3, use the manufacturers filing charts, find your chain and read across to find file sizes, angles, and sharpening kits used. 4, HINT - use manufacturers own tools for chain. (and for the record, a stihl 3/8th chain most commonly found on a 361 takes a 5.2mm or 13/64 file) This is what I have always done and will continue to, I'd never heard of useing a 5.5 on a normal 361 chain till a few months ago and will now try to forget I ever did. Shame tho I was hopeing there was some intereasting reson for use a 5.5.
-
You have my deepest sympathy. I take this was a sntach and run from a job site?
-
Right I use a 361 as my main ground saw for which I use a 5.2 file as I'm sure the packet says to (I cant seem to find one at the moment), however just lately I keep being told that a 5.5 is what I should be useing - surely this is too big and will produce a blunter edge. The only advantage to this I can see is the blunter edge may stay as sharp as it gets for longer?

Mine's real......
