Well with all this 041 talk...the bug got to me!! I originally was just looking for a decent one to restore. So I browsed the pages of eBay there she was! Mind you, not as sexy as Pioneerguy's 041 but she's nice none the same.
I'm pleased, to say the least. Plus, I didn't get into any bidding wars!! But to make a long story short, she's has 165 PSI, no noise's and cuts strong.

Ok, now don't get upset cause mine is prutier than yours,lolol
if I was looking to buy one, which one should I be looking for?
I bought my dad an 041 farmboss in 1977. He says he lost the tool that allows you to adjust the flow of oil to the chain. Neither I nor my local dealer remember the part. Any suggestions. Anyone remember that part?
I picked this ole honey off of Craigslist not knowing if it ran of not, it did (152 PSI) glad I got it I dig the low torque. no anti vib, no chainbrake, points style I think this is the earliest plain jane on here. the only thing to complete it is the trigger lock, but it'll still start off idle even cold!
Here are a few of my 1110 saws.
The only saw I still would like to locate is the 040.
( note, bar shown on farmboss is later generation. )
