That saw ran great...awesome video ....👍🤙

Love Me Old Stihl’s 😀😊😀 Mr Obsolete Love Your Saw 😀

Great ol saw! My first job out of high-school in 84 was working in Corey n sons log yard in Port Angeles. I used a 056 for bumping knots and cleaning the hair off the butt to make them look good for the overseas log buyers. Also if the scaler wanted some bucked to take a hook off or something like that. At that time we were still getting old growth spruce and cedar that were huge and if they needed bucked I used a 084! Good old big powerhouse saws!

Wow that's a lot Nothing takes down Stihl chainsaw. Thank you for the video

That's a big stick! You have the right size saw for it.

Keep them great shows comming!

Good cutting there Mr. O!

Great saw ! 🪵⛓🪚👍👏🇺🇸 Rick

Got my 021 running and idling. Plus the oil pump is putting out. Today has been a good day. I let it idle to break in that new piston, cylinder and rings. I will run it some more, tomorrow. I had thought I might have to go back to it and clean out the discharge line from the pump to the output hole. So yesterday, I blew some break cleaner into it and today it started putting some oil out. I think I will spray some more in it, just to make sure it is clean. Got a side adjust on it. I hate those front adjust saws.

I have a 051 with a 5 foot bar when in high school for blocking firewood,took days to gain feeling in my hands after running that beast for 12 hours darn near straight every weekend in the fall These old girls have a drinking promblem for sure. These saws are pure torque. I ran mine with 404 full skip square ground,hand filing was no fun. Sure neeat to see some one willing to run these old vibratory power saws,I can do it much any more from running them commercially in logging.

great german saw..greetings from germany

I was cutting a tree once that at some time in it's life had a tree house in it. I was trying hard to miss the nails,but to no avail. I was using a 925 Homelite, and it had so much torque, it broke the chain. I thought maybe I'd fix the chain and move on, but it had broken some of the teeth off and mangled even more. No mas had to get another new chain.

Hello !!!

Nice olde Stihl. What is bar length on that thing

I know my ms 660 cuts at 12,600 because that is where I limited it to. It has a 36 inch bar on it for big wood, but I generally run it with a 20” bar due to its weight with longer bars. The 660 is 92 cc3 and it will flat cut. Its only problem is its weight. It weighs close to 25# without a bar and chain. That 051 cuts pretty good but sounds a little lean to me. I would give it another quarter turn out on the H jet to see if that will make it maintain a constant rpm in the cut. That’s what want my saws to do. The L jet sounds a little rich to me. I would probably lean it out a bit, too, to bring the rpm up a bit at idle.

Thanks for the video, I need the side cover for mine, does Stihl still sell them? To my surprise they do for the 090. Vintage is best

Unbeleivable work horses, I was lucky enough to get one for €250 last year, has a 25 inch bar with .404 chain, I have a question, I have a 36in Stihl light bar that runs 3/8 chain, is it possible to fit that on the 051 or do I need to change the sprocket on the saw?

Is that a roller nose bar on that saw? Haven’t seen one of those for years!

That 51 is tuned pretty oood. List to how it maintained its rpm inthe cut. That’s how I want my saws to cut. My 660 will cut a good bit faster than that 51. I very seldom have to lay on the dogs on the 660 or the 440, just let their weight do the cutting. The last time I cut with the 660:I had to cut off a five foot hickory stump. It was so heavy it took two of us to push the stump off.

Never had an 051 but i have an 075 with 36in. Roller nose bar .404. Full skip chain
