2101xp/ top all time muscle saws!!!!!!!!!!!

[komatsuvarna]

a 28" bar would not balance a 2100 worth a hoot. even a 32" isn't very good. a 36" bar balances a 2100 perfectly.

I got a 36'', but hardly have a use for that size bar. Maybe the 2100 would be a good place to hang it for the time being though .

Thanks sir. I'd like to find some decals for it, Im sure thats way out of the question though .

See if I can explain this.

If you've see the inside of the cowling on the 288 s with the big filter, you may have noticed the cutout in the plastic devider between the jug and carb compartments. Its the fore runner to the Air Injection system.
You can do that on the 2100's and it really helps keep the air filter clean. IME. they breath better. esspecially by the end of the day.

It works on all the Huskies. 266 ect. ect.

Id put that 36 on it and just make it a shelf queen! That saw looks too nice to use!

 

[tramp bushler]

The cutout is on the port side.

thats the left for the terra firma bound.

 

[tramp bushler]

put a 36 on it. put a mud flap in the clutch cover. and go make a 300 acre clearcut:cool2:.

I know these saws are not quite 6 cubes but they are really close.

picked these up at the scrap for $23, the mag2 has a bad fuel line but runs with a prime, won't take much to get her going.

Jim,
These pictures are haunting me..........LOL!!! Please don't make me unsubscribe from another thread...........

I'll give you $24 for the MagII + shipping, and I'll take care of the fuel line........I'm just sayin'................

 

[tramp bushler]

The Mag II is 98 cc if I remember right.
having had and run a bunch of both, I prefer the 2100 . But, alot of guys prefered the 056 .

It really came down to how long a bar you needed to run. . The 56 was kinda " The Saw" if you were running a 36 . but if you needed to pull a 42 alot they didn't hold up. The 2100 liked long bars. .

The 056 Mag is 94cc and you are right about the 2100 pulling more bar. The 045/056 are my favorite of the older Stihl saws and to get a nice Mag2 is a little better than getting a nice 045 super, now I have both.

 

[tramp bushler]

As I remember, the 056 was 81 cc the Super was 87 cc the Magnum was 93 or 94 and the Mag II was 98 cc. I remember when Timber and Marine came out with the Alaska Magnum . then a year or 2 later the Mag 2 came out It was a stronger saw than the Magnum.

I wouldn't bet a pay check on it, but I'm pretty sure.

I agree, and I am a hair short to be comfortable wtih a 36. I have a 34 on mine, and it is real nice. I agree man 36 would do it justice.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Yooper Mike drool indeed! Durand I would keep it too. Even run side by side with your 395, you will love it loads of torque, and a feel of it's own, about my favorite saw. Nice mag 2 Jim, I forget how big they were, Tramp good info on the cut out, good to know. Anyone have a pdf on the mag 2, I always wanted specs, and reference, never had it. Parmeter and me always had a friendly argument, he said the 56 mag 2 may have had more snot than the 66. I said no, and said the 66 was a better saw, which he is a 66 man. But them 56's really had snot, and were a great saw. I had a 56super, ton of power. Good to see ya fellars!

 

[tramp bushler]

the 56 Mag II will out stump the 660 . the problem is it out weighs both the 660 and the 395w

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Yeah they have some balls for sure. Been awhile since I ran one, but always loved em. They are going for a good penny now. Seen a few real clean ones here and there.

Actually the Mag and Mag II were both 93.4 cc's

I actually don't know what was changed from the Mag to the mag II.....If it's like the other Stihls, probably just the tag.....The Mag II might have been the first one with the SEM "GA" ignition....I wouldn't bet my paycheck on that either though....lol

Not a fair display, because this birch log had a punky spot in it, but the 056 Mag still hauls a$$!!
