Sthil 041

[Chad S.]

I am thinking about checking out a olf 041 "farm boss" off CL for $165. Looks like the guy gets junk saws and rebuilds them. 22" bar on it and for 20 more 2 extra chains. Is this reasonable?

if it runs then I'd call it a good deal. if it's in good shape then it's an awesome deal.

I used an 041 for a year on loan from a friend. It's a simple, strong saw. But make sure it is in good working order.

I have this old girl as a collector. Pulls like a tractor. I have heard they were the reliable slant 6 of the chainsaws back in their day.

Hard to say without seeing it or knowing your experiences working on chainsaws. This saw was discontinued 35 years ago in the mid seventies. It was a great saw in its day and if in good running condition could do a man very well. If it needs work and you like working on saws that price is high. Run a compression test , and pull the muffler and look at the cylinder for scoring.
No chain brake, no anti-vibes, and points unless it has been updated.

I'm still using the 041 I got during the bicentennial, a very good saw but no chain break. If this is to be your 1st saw I would advise you pass on it. If you're experienced it'll make an excellent 2nd saw. Pretty sure back in the day I paid 425 for it and that was a lot of dough back in the day.

I did not realize the saw was an antique In my eyes the hassle of finding parts for such an old saw wouldn't even be worth it.

Parts are not hard to find for these saws...

For the price he has you could find a av model................
