All Original BABY!
 
Man that is one nice 041 you got there Fred, surely has low hours on it. It has a sticker on the clutch cover that my nearly new 041AV does not have, maybe it only came on newer model saws.

has less than 3 cords on it

But it wont be cheap.

Here is the thread about it.

Yep, I remember that thread quite well, made a real nice saw out of it. I just picked up two more this weekend in a truckload, should make some nice runners outa them. Your saw did end up costing a little more but they are worth double what you got in it.

You got the same setup I did, when the original owners wife gave me the saw it was in the same orange plastic case, original tool kit from factory,original spare chain also. She stated that the saw had less than one hours total use on it, her husband was a surgeon and he considered the saw unsafe to use, same with their son so they gave it to me.

Thanks! Jerry I don't think stihl makes most of the parts off the 045 056 series saw. That was the origional top handle cover, it had the holes drilled for the arctic air warmer option on the side by the clutch cover. Makes me wonder where this saw's been!
 
This is as good as I got. Only used by a little old lady on Sundays. The starter side is not as nice which lets the saw down a bit. :)

That's a lot of cleaning work ahead of you....I think I spotted a dust particle somewhere....:buttkick:

On this one you have to look a little closer, there are some smudges on the front wraparound handle that should clean up with some effort and there is also some residue from sort of label, sticker or tape on the righthand side of the same handle. There is also fingerprints that need to be removed from the rear handle so what would be the best cleaner out there to accomplish this task?

Ain`t she a beauty, looks like its been used like it was designed to be used for, cutting wood. A little TLC would make it look a little nicer but more saws are used and look the way this saw does world wide, they are a tool in the real world.
