Stihl 032 finished up with pics

[Steve K]

I bought this old 032 awhile back and just got it done today. It has been sitting on a shelf for many, many years and was hardly ever used. The fuel had dried up to about a 1/4" of varnish in the bottom of the tank. I cleaned out the tank, replaced all hoses and rebuilt the carb and she now runs like new. Has about 165lbs compression. Even put a brand new bar and chain on her.

What do you think she would sell for?

Nice job, did you repaint it?

Its all original then? It could bring you some good money but I would hang that on the wall somewhere.

Original paint! Except for the muffler.

I'm jealous, ill have to find a picture of my MIA 032 for a comparison.

Thanks.. thanks a lot.

Now my 031 looks like a POS!

Nice job.. that's a clean looking saw!

 

[teatersroad]

haha..just saw your saw on the local craigslist and was going to post it to the cl sticky. did a search here just in case. does look nice. regards

I would not sell that saw if it were mine. You will get $50 offers for it on CL.

I have seen some nice 032 going as high as 250

 

[Steve K]

Yeah I got it on Craigslist for $275 but haven't had any takers. It's just rare to find a 032 in this condition so I kept the price up there. Probably will have to Ebay it.

Yeah, that makes my 031 look like crap!!......Nice job!!

If it was mine, $275 would sound reasonable, but you would have to find the right buyer.......I don't think I could part with it though!

Worth every penny at $275. That is one cherry 50 cc torque driver. I have one that has very little use, that i got from a friend of mine when he broke his arm and needed cash. gave him 200 for it, hope to at least get that back someday. I like the old style sound of the little beast. It has a bar that says "Made in West Germany." I will see if I can find a pic or two.

Very clean saw there. $275 is reasonable, but you have to find the right buyer. Only so many people out there that will understand what it is and be willing to pay that much. It is worth holding out for that much IMO.

Well, I'd buy it. But then I'd use it and that would ruin everything.

I'm a fan of industrial design that looks sharp, and I like the lines there. In your neighboring county of 20% unemployment. Working, but. Thanks for the pics.

Id take some really nice pics and ebay it. Stessing how clean it is. Thats if I was selling it,but if it were mine I wouldnt sell it.

Silly question but why is a 032 worth so much more than an 031 ?

[cElliott914]

Love it!

I am actually really interested in your saw! Id pay top dollar for it:greenchainsaw:

If I had an 031 that clean, I wouldn't let it go for less than $275 either!

Where form meets function......

I think the 032 is one of the prettier saws that Stihl made. It hearkens back to a simpler, more aesthetic time when efficiency of production was not the primary concern, when designers took pride in their creations. Here is mine, which I basically wiped up and replaced the chain, not because it was worn, but because it had stretched unevenly. This saw reminds me of a late 40's/early 50's pickup truck in its lines and contours. I wonder if this is the original bar.
