  1. Hi I have bought a big stihl saw I was told it was a 075 But I am not sure as there is no name tag on it The trouble is it looks the same as a 051 It has no manual oiler or decompression button I have listed it on eBay for sale and don't want anyone buying it by mistake Is there any way of finding out what it is I know it's a 1978. Model Any help would be great
  2. I also have a 3120 with a primer bulb 2006 model
  3. Does any one run a 660 on a 42" bar I run one with a 30" bar and it runs that with ease Sometimes I need something bigger I have a husky 3120 but only with a 30" bar The price for a new bar for the husky is to much but can pick up a 42" one for the stihl for under £100 with chain The stihl the better saw to use as the husky is a bit of a beast
  4. Paid £50 at local auction Been looking at it today and think it's a 076 as the oil filler caps on the side not top As there is no name plate on it Got a 30"404 bar and chain. Starts and runs a treat. Setting up the carb a bit fiddle with the saw jumping around on the bench Hoping to give it a workout in the week on some big oak I'll let you now how I get on
  5. Just bought a very nice stihl 075 Is it worth keeping or sould I sell it
  6. I used it today and it seems fine on the small logs up to 6" but struggles on the bigger stuff It light enough to take in the back of a pick up My mate wants £400 for it is that a bit to much I would pay that for a good saw I made 3 nets of kindling in about 10 minutes Let me now your thoughts
  7. Yes it's got a two stroke petrol saw engine on it it
  8. Hi just been asked if I would be interested in buying a jonsered split 40 log splitter And just wanted to know if anyone has used one and what they are like Would be interesting to know your views on this

  14. Sounds like the same lads I saw in Plymouth When I was working on site in millbay They were putting the saws together outside there caravan It looked like neilson saws and ther had pressure washer as well Police moved them on and said they where on there way to London I wouldn't buy a clothes peg off this lot
  15. It's going to be hard to pay by ton because i am going to store on site and sell the logs when dry It's going to be a job change for me but it's something I appears wanted to do my friend has 3more woods that he would like me to look at so I think I am going to be busy
  16. it is near torrington north devon when i say thinnings it means it has never been thinned and ther is some nice size wood in there 12 to 18"
  17. whats the best for pulling out timber tractor or crawler with winch theres no road work, all in woods on tracks i whas thinking about 90 to 100 hp or what about tractor and trailer with grab ,it is fairly steep so well need 4 wheel drive what sort of price for a good crawler or tractor
  18. its a good friend of mine that owns the wood ,it has not been touched in 30 years i was thinking of paying around £20 per cube ,if i can get it out but is that to much it is all differant sizes ,and whas going to cut and split with saw and log splitter
  19. hi can any one help ,i have been offered a 11 acre wood of mixed hard wood access is good to half ,but a lot of winching ,the other half is a bit more tricky ,needs a lot of thinning ,can take out what i want just have to leave the big oaks i can store it on site and am thinking of buying a crawler and winch just wanted to no what i sould be paying as this is the first time for me and is it worth the hassel look forward to your replies:thumbup:
  20. i agree with you there is no protection for the seller,i have sold saws to buyers that say they are unhappy with them and send them back ,when i have checked them over i find that they have swapped parts over and some times i get back a different saw. i had one buyer open a case becouse he said he never received the saw but forgot to mention that he moved house and forgot to change his adrress on ebay ,and another buyer that put petrol in the fuel tank and two stroke oil in the chain oil tank thinking it mixed it up itself and blamed me when it blow up. funny how i seem to always be wrong:confused1:
  21. i now what you mean i buy a lot of saws and some times you get bit in the ass ,i try to be as honest as i can and only sell saws that i would be happy with myself i bought a ms 260 that whas sold to me with so called good compresion but whas in fact seized solid ,but as it whas sold as parts or not working there is nothing can do ,just have to strip it for parts?
  22. saw all up and running ,some one had wired up the stop switch wrong way round it is a 07 saw now runs like a dream think i might sell it, whats it worth
  23. No spark on stihl 07 can any one help
  24. hi how do you check the metering arm?
