Gotta give to ya LinkedXJ, still recovering, yet CAD stricken How you coming along physically? EDIT: Ok, so you're still medicated....
Im pretty good. I'll be on crutches for awhile long, quite awhile longer unfortunately. Im also in a steel/plastic body brace that extends from my lower kneck all the way down to butt crack. It wraps around the front and has some heavy clasps keeping it together. So thats fun.. Had some pretty nasty rashes from it rubbing under my arms. Ended up personally trimming it down with a dremel. Ive lost the wrap for my broken ribs already and im scheduled to get my arm cast removed on the 13th. Doin good though.
Be sure to do an inspection through the exhaust and a rough compression test by dropping it while holding the starter cord. It does look like a good deal as long as it doesn't turn into a project saw.
I would grab it! The028 was my first Stihl & is still my favorite saw. See my avatar. After 28 years it needed rings & a carb kit.
If its in good shape and you just get cold feet give me a PM. I am within easy striking distance myself and an 028 would go well with my 026.
Half body cast(dremeled and all), pinned and stitched together, going to look at a saw..... Awesome! Promise you won't do the driving....... Jus teasin.... Can't wait to see what comes of it.
Gread deal .............................................................. and extra 400 euros for start it
For 0nly 100.............................. for sure you will see many threads " how to rebuild a 028 ''
I never got it. I had planned on making the 2 hour round trip starting at about 3pm. At around 1:30 the guy texted me and told me it had sold.
