old saws that look new...or almost

[pioneerguy600]

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!

Ok, next I will check with my Stihl dealer to see what he can get me for front handle cover material.

so what would be the best cleaner out there to accomplish this task?

Jerry, I am not sure but "never dull" or "luckySOB polish" seems to give great results....:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

If that doesn't work have you looked at this on the German site?

http://cgi.ebay.de/STIHL-CONTRA-Kettensage-Griffschlauch-Griffrohr-/230465317652?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motor_Gartenger%C3%A4te&hash=item35a8cdab14#ht_2430wt_941

If you look at the site via Google Chrome browser it will translate the German to English for you.

3.7 again

Here is my newest 3.7 Craftsman/Poulan. This isnt the same saw that is in the first post when i started this thread. But it is almost as nice. If the first saw had 3 tanks thru it this one had 7. There is even some sticker left on the original bar. Since I have 2 this one will be my work saw.

The "3 tank" saw is in the front. The other saw is in the back before i started work on it.

Hey Jerry I thought you were talking about the whole orange top handle, with the throttle and model tag and all that . That full wrap handlebar is all brand new NOS, I'm not sure on availability of the rubber wrapping, thats somthing my other full wrap needs too.

I was at the Stihl dealer today and he can get me individual lengths to fit any handle shape, or a long length at 197". I ordered the 197" length and it will be in tomorrow, should do a few of my saws.

I'll be interested in seeing a pic of it to see how much it looks like the original. Of course "original" means several different things as the contra had a green handle cover and others black with various pattern differences. I might need to order some myself.

I will take some picts and post them once I get it home. On the screen it looked ribbed, just like the original handle covers on the 041 08,070 and 090.
