So is that an 090? I am not up on all the stihl saws.

That looks like an 090 to me. Might go for cheap if the bidders don't know what is what. Mike

Nope, not a gear drive. Sprocket cover is totally different and on the wrong side, and gear drives are just longer to accomodate all the gearing.

The question is: is it a 070, 090, or Contra? Clutch could tell if is an 090 or not. Don't remember all the criteria. Very little difference between the 070 and 090 other than the clutch and bore. Contra is something I know nothing about and I was cut down to size here when I didn't know the exact differences.

cbfarmall I was thinking the same thing, I cant figure out if it is a 070 or an 090 or at least without some closer shots of it. But for one thing its not a 088.

Looks like an 090G (gear reduction). Ask Butch, he just bought one recently and has been looking for a sprocket for the last few months.

Ditto what Chris wrote. It ain't an 090G, fer sure!

Steve here... Looks like an 090 by the size of the starter cover... The 070 cover has a smaller starter pulley and cover is smaller in that area as well

As posted by nearly everyone it is a 070/090. It is not a Contra/Lighting nor is it a gear drive althouth the handle does bear a resemblence to the GD handle.. It really does not matter how he listed the saw it will still bring good money. I will be out of town when it selld but I will see where it ends when I come back. My prediction $455.65.
