    Well that sucks. Least they bought the part. But too bad this was not known. You could of bought a nice pro saw for just a bit more used off here if you kept your eye out.

    So i dont know bad seem or not the saw is 4 years old now if would think if it was a bad seam it would have taken a crap before this all i know is that stihl is covering it and that makes me happy:thumbs: so if it was dropped being rebuilt or a bad seam...its all good i guess there is a reason i bleed white an orange....:rofl: :lol:

    If a 18 years old boy who work for a stihl dealer can be a Master wrench technician after 3 days training

    I can for sure produce a satelite, a aerospace , or a nuclear weapon
