    This is the first Stihl saw I ever owned, I bought it used in 1989. It has cut quite a bit of firewood for me over the years until it became my backup saw when I bought an 034 from a neighbor in 05. The plastic tank-handle assembly cracked on it, but I patched it enough to still be usable. I found a member in the FHC classifieds parting out an 028 Super Thanks NH_Wood for the used but in great shape handle. Here are a few pics of the saw after the install

    Gonna give her a go this weekend, we have a peach tree beside the house that in the last 10 years we got 1 good crop from, the other years the critters and the weather got em. My wife gave me the green light to make it disappear :saw::axe::thumbs:
