Stihl specs

[artwood]

I seem to remember someone mentioning a reference book of sorts with Stihl saw specs & dates of manufacture, etc. for all the different models. Am I dreaming or such a thing exist.

There is the PRIMEDIA "Grounds Maintenance Equipment Blue Book" 800 654 6776

The book is about 1 1/2 inches thick. Coverage on all outdoor equipment back to 1985.

The price has got up to $52 I believe, so I buy one only every two or three years.

I believe these Primedia people bought out the old Intertec book. I have a couple of those because they go back further in years

concerning this book . i bought one. its very useful. u will find erros in it ,
like say a big jump in power or wt for a given yr then the next yrs specs are back to the original specs posted.
these are not mistakes in all cases ,but i suspect they are in most.still a good book.

Thanks guys, I'll look into one of those. I have the 10th edition of Chainsaw service manual print ed by them. It has some big gaps in saw models and no hp ratings.

If that is the service manual I'm thinkin of, it is way out of day, like 15 years or so.

I have what I think is the newest version. 10th edition for saws upto 1998. But, it's not all inclusive on saw models.
