Hello every one as some of you might know ive just bought a stihl 056 as some thing to keep me busy repairing once i have it fully up and running i would like to spruce it up but im unsure on what to use for the high temp parts like the exhaust cover which is white can any one reccomend some thing please. Heres a pic of said part Thank you

Update time removed the cover for the bar today and the ammount of crap that was packed in there was unreal so cleaned it all out and then inspected the sprocket to see if it has binded luckly it hadnt and was lovley and free also the teeth were in nice condition on the sprocket so this then left the bar when i removed the bar it was packed full no wounder the cain wouldnt move freely also all the oil holes were blocks so after a good rake out and then blow through with air the chain now turns freely i deff need a new chain tho as i noticed two oif the teeth have been riped off so now on the hunt for a new 25" chain the bar didnt seem too bad the chain fits nicley in it with only thing i had to do was file around the edge as there was a lip. The exhaust has seen better days but should do me fine for a while also managed to find a production date and was made in 1978 so not bad at all for a 34 year old saw. Once ive got it mechanically sound i would like to spruce it up a little what paint would any one reccomend for the white bits espically around the exhaust housing.

Thank you alec much apperciated

Thanks spud will update later with more info

Thats brilliant thankyou it has a old oregon 25" bar and chain which came with it when i was talking to the guy i bought it off he said it hadnt been replaced in his ownership so im geussing its pretty old. Im geussing its a duromatic bar i have also posted another thread asking if any one can reccomend a new bar and chain for it. Ill strip it down tomorrow and see if i can turn the sprocket by hand with the bar off You help is much apperciated

Checked for the tightness but seems fine i may have a go at slackening it off tomorrow if that doesnt help ill have to strip it down and have a better look

Im unsure on one thing tho on the 051 should the chain be free to move when the engine is off, as when i was going to sharpen the chain its wont move at all it runs freely when the engine is running and throttle applied but not when shut off which i thought it would do as it doesnt have a brake or is it a feature of the clutch

Just gave the 051 a good look over and clean today most pipe work and filters were fine but found a tear in the pluse/vacume pipe so gave it a quick repair untill the new hose comes

Ive recently purchased a old stihl 051 as a project saw the chain is absoutly shot the bar doesnt seem too bad but would like to know what one to get if i do need one. Any info would be much apperciated.

Im on ps3 under bustat5 quite happy with new black ops

Heres what would be ideal to fit inside but on a smaller scale

Best way to do these are using water jackets inside the stove you will need to strip your stove done and see if there is any room to be able to fit one if not looks like you will have to buy a boiler stove

Yeah im really impressed with it just need to give it a good going over now

So roughly around 14m3 and the question is how much is 10t of cordwood

Yep they certainly know how to waste time and peoples money

You have hit the nail on the head by the word "recommended" working for local council for many years we have done many installs and dig outs for repairs/new pipes we have asked the same question over and over again and they only reply you get is we recommend it to be at said depth but its not fixed in stone. Also gas board have to attend the breakage within 4 hrs even if they dont fix it straight away

Busta comes most places with me depending on what im doing and is really well behaved which makes it a pleasure to have him with me

boiler stove can also cook on it so heat and food well will just hunt for food also got a huge fish tank so lots of unclean water but needs must lol

Just got a stihl 051 to do up any one still using one these days for personal use as most didnt come with chain brakes so will be banned on site.

Fancied something new well old but new to me stihl 051

I have access to a 13t grab wagon or depending on what loads people can supply im wanting to get a bulk load to heat two houses for next year

Hello every one is there any one around or in the south yorkshire area that has or can get bulk loads of fire wood/logs, they dont need to be seasoned or split any info would be much apperciated. Thank you
