I'm looking to purchase any chainsaw that you have that are not running. I have a great interest in rebuilding these and any contribution would help. PM or reply if you have anything will to donate or sell cheap.

Crap! I just got rid of a Stihl 440. It fell of the trailer on the highway, rolled and slammed a tree. I got an estimate of over 600 to fix it. I would have gladly given it away. Now I have to wipe my teary eyes, suck it up, and go buy a new 441. $850:cry::cry:

Lesson of this sad tail....Never trust a bungie cord...Even if its new.

I have an 026 that was like that. The dealer told the guy it would be over $400 to fix it. The only thing I replaced was the clutch cover and the bar. Besides that it runs like a champ. I don't think the dealer wanted to mess with it. He sold the guy anyhow.

What did you do with the 440?

What will you give for an 025 that will only run with the choke?? I was going to ebay it for parts.

Garbage....The saw looked like a mangled mess. The engine block cracked apon contact with the tree. The only thing that could be saved was the piston and crankshaft. It was a sad day.
