Bought mine in 1975 and still have it today. Runs great with a 20 " bar and has plenty of power. Regular cleaning and maintenance has made it last all these years later.
@sawsonthefarm not too many people know about it especially the young generation a few people my age I'm 49 and often heard my father telling me about it unfortunately he passed away on the 14th of November and I always said if I see one that has that problem and if the barrel and piston is okay try and buy it for little money or if they are clearing out the shed ask about it hopefully bring it home and get it running
What a beautiful looking saw. Love the old Stihl logo on the recoil cover. Do you find the saw heavier in comparison to other brands of the same era, just curious. Thanks for sharing Stay safe

That's very cool! Glad to hear you still run it!
wow mine don't even come close to looking that fresh Nice
It's ridiculous! Hopefully it cuts as good as it looks!
Great saw the bolts on the barrel useto open up
How do you mean?
@sawsonthefarm the bolts vibrate loose over time a lot of people didn't know about it and they can be tightened with locktight on the threads
@@deniscarter6613 ahh, understood!
