Restoration of an Old Tired Stihl Chainsaw

Any piece of equipment with that many repairs tells you at least two things. Someone loved it and it is one heck of well built machinery. Today's crap for the most part can't handle one tumble from the tailgate of a pickup truck.

I gotta say, you didn't cherry pick this resto-. I was impressed with what that last dude could do with rivets and tape! 😮

❤❤❤

That's not a restoration --- that's a resurrection!

Снимаю шляпу 😊 настоящий мастер! браво!!!

The Stihl 051 is a beast of a saw and will wear out the strongest of men! Well done!!

That has got to be the most unique and amazing rebuilding/repair/refurbishing effort I've ever seen on anything. I hope it stays with you for many years to come. Things are only thrown away when you just don't want to put in the efforts to make them work again... Bravo sir, Bravo!

Очень красиво. первый куб. метров красота разлетится.

I'm impressed for many reasons. First, that was one of the most well-used chainsaws I have ever seen and with the most improvised repairs I have ever seen. Then the masterful repair process was simply amazing. I truly expected the replacement of most of the external components, including the muffler. I was very impressed and will save this to review when working on my own Stihls. Very well done.

Здравствуйте. Я впервые вижу такую модель. Наверное тяжёлая. Из хлама сделать новый инструмент это мастерство. Приятно давать вторую жизнь вещам особенно инструменту. Вы молодец. Когда то и я так же собирал свой MS361 в моём случае это была груда грязных в мазуте запчастей из которых нужно было выбрать что то стоящее. Кое что пришлось докупить. Но так приятно было собирать уже чистые и новые детали, но больше радости было когда она завелась, пришлось регулировать карбюратор, он был расстроен. Но теперь эта бензопила приносит больше радости чем та которую купил бы.

Красава👏👏👏👏

My dad had some of those old 031 041 when I was a kid. I tries getting parts and the stihl dealer said they were obsolete so I went to the husqvarna dealer and he said he could get me any part for any husqvarna ever made and that is why I run nothing but husqvarna.

Exelente cirujano con estetica🎉🎉🎉

I don’t know what I’m more impressed with the rebuild or the fact he knew how to put 1000 pieces back together. I’d love to have this as a show piece. For sale?!?!

That improvised lathe was badass.

Really amazing. Absolutely great work.

I remember when I visited my grandmother in Pensacola, Florida and she dropped some serious wisdom on me. She said “Grandson, one day some people will waste their time reading your comment.” Today is that day.

Impressed by the DIY repairs made to this chainsaw. Reminded me of my Dad who would have done the same.

tres impressionnant tu as beaucoup de talent

I still (Stihl ) have a running 051AV ,you have inspired me to clean it up a bit Cheers from Aus
