Chainsaws not listed and OPE / Re: Pioneer 626?
« Last post by fordfairlane78 on Today at 12:55:10 am »
Are you sure it's a 626?   Most likely a 620....this base design was used first as the IEL ra and then on by pioneer in the 600,610,620&I believe a 650. All 103cc saws with a few diffs per model. There is a small collectors market for these. Clean,complete  with compression&fire usually sell for around $100 from what I've seen locally&on ebay but Kansas is not a huge saw market. By the way,I like the 360proold you have pictured,just picked one up like it although not as pretty. Pops on a prime but haven't had a chance to go much further with it yet. Got it off cl for $15 w/20"bar, 3good chains

BP-I would be at the top of the list .125 or 797  second and here of late any of the 81 cc piston ports like the SP-81-805-850 ,Sp 80 ,800,8200 .The Titan series are rare  also especialy the Titan 70 ---I have one . ;D

The Titans made in Italy I think were a last ditch effort to save the sinking ship which failed .It sank in '99 .

Therefore im starting to wander if stihl reversed the way they stamped there serial numbers around 1990, I don't know when my 10mm 044 was made as theres no real way of dating it and I didn't obtain it new.
wisecobandit, seeing my 1992 066 had the reversed to date serial # that would be safe to say that 1990-91 was correct.
The 044 was the state of the art at the time but we have to go back much earlier to 1984 when the 024AV and 034AV were introduced with the revolutionary side tension screw, new lightweight ergonomic  design, and quick access air filter, then in 1986 the 14.1 lb 85cc 064AV was born along with the "big boy" 084. The 70 cc 044 was not ready yet in 1986 so the upgraded 038 Magnum was introduced.
I really enjoyed working for Stihl, I fully believe Hans Peter as a second generation owner was still very intense as his father Andreas was . I hope the new 3 rd generation son is just as dedicated.
The pioneering 024, 034, 044, 064, 084  were definitely a generation of saws that still encompass design we enjoy today.

Never seen big ball bearings in a air filter?

I got a new big wheel push mower direct from the MTD push mower factory in Tupelo, Mississippi today.The engine has no oil drain plug. I guess you turn it up on its side to drain the oil? It was made a couple weeks ago. Put oil and gas in it - started first pull. Automatic choke - no primer pump. Weighs 75 lbs delivered by UPS. Doesn't look like any parts are interchangeable between this B&S 190cc engine and the other one I have that is 10 years old.

HolmenTree, I have to confess ive never taken much notice before about which way the serial numbers where stamped on the stihls. I like the old stihls and have just rebuilt an 051 using pretty much all new original stihl internal components. (believe me its cost much more than its worth...) Its around 1974 having the roller bearnig crank etc, and the serial number is stamped the same way as yours. I then checked a slightly later 075 and also stamped the same way!
Therefore im starting to wander if stihl reversed the way they stamped there serial numbers around 1990, I don't know when my 10mm 044 was made as theres no real way of dating it and I didn't obtain it new.

So who is having to repair their lawn eq already?   

Have the 50" 23hp Kohler rider apart for steering parts.  Wife was like I think you need to fix this. it no longer steers.   Least I have several back ups on hand.  ;D Learned to do that the hard way in the 90's.


Also while cleaning the air filter I found a bigger type ball bearing inside the air filter and just outside the carb inlet. Thank goodness it didnt get sucked in. :o

Where in the world would such a big ball bearing come from inside that area? Some kind of check valve ball where pvc runs into carb area?  ???

Both steering parts in and mowing again.

Anyone know anything on that good size ball bearing I found?

Husqvarna / Re: What kind of Husky is this?

This is a MS90A or 90E. Not the first ones, but could be 1960 or 1961. It is missing some parts and have the Stridsberg bar by the looks of it witch indicate it is a E rather than A or replaced bar...

It is not Swedish plates on the P1800....

The first series of 350 saws made in 1959 never left Sweden. Officially they did not start production until 1960.
Then they were exported too. MS90G were sold in North America, but was not something that market was looking for.
The MS100 was made to accommodate the requests of larger cubic's, but was never much popular either.

???I found this for sale. I was maybe looking into buying it? I know nothing about it, just Husqvarna... Any info is appreciated! Thanks!
You better buy that saw as quick as you can :o,
that is Husqvarna's historic first model chainsaw they produced............ the A90 first introduced in 1959.
Seeing the Volvo car and license plates that is the birthplace country of that saw. In the first year of production only 350 of these A90's were sold to the pro market.
 These early Husqvarnas never made it to North America.
