Not "them" - the 056 Mag II is special! :msp_sneaky:
Nice score Ed. That thing is amazing. Any story behind the saw?
Oh so very nice. I'm hunting for one. There is a clean one on ebay now for way more than I'm willing to spend.
Not trying to hijack, but is it possible to rejug a 56 super with the magnum top without any other mods? I will admit I didn't search yet, this thread just got me thinking.

itd be tough.. you would need to clearance the case for the big piston, and the bolt spacing on the base is different too. you can find them rather cheap if they are ignition less, but that is their weakness. that and bearings.

Yes its a dual port... Never met a 56 mag that wasn't... Look on the PTO side of the cylinder.. The second port comes out way back there.. Once and a great while you will even see one with the deflector over it. Not sure what the purpose of it was? Nobody ever keeps them on.
NICE saw. And also, what is the difference between the mag 2's and the regular mag's?
It has a standard clutch cover. It's has a dual port. I think all the magnums did.
You can see the port above the "S" in Stihl.

Any chance we could get a video of that beast in wood?
I'm not really sure. Might be the ignition and little changes. JJ might know.
mag IIs had the SEM ignition and 56mm piston, I believe the 056 av was 54mm piston and had either bosch or points ignition.
The magnum mufflers definitely are different. The arm looking thing is the second port.
This muffler is off my other 056 Mag II I have torn down at the moment. I'm gonna port the one I'm rebuilding and compare the two.
I need to send the jug to Randy to have the squish cut.

The "snorkel" port on the Magnum muffler is longer than the one on the Super muffler and the cooling fins on the Magnum/Mag II cylinders are cast differently to reflect this. If a person wanted to put the Magnum muffler on a Super cylinder, they have to trim the cooling fins a bit.

Everything I have in the yard right now is small. Once I drag home some bigger wood I can do one.

That's crazy, who buys a big saw like that and doesn't use it? Good for you though. Very nice saw.

huh,
so did the step down clutch covers only come on certain saws??? Also nice to see an OEM switch on/off switch on that saw. hard to find them around with the tall switch still intact.
I knew where that pipe was sticking out... I've worked on them before; my mistake was thinking the dual port was always the extra port on the muffler cover and not the rear tube... I sent 2-3 of those dual port mufflers to axlr8.
Speaking of which. HEY Nich! Could you post a pic of the step down clutch cover i sent you? I think some guys know what I'm talking about but more pics are always better.
