I just bought a super wood boss, they are older saws but very reliable.

O28

This is strange. My O28 has never had a oil gear problem.And this saw has been through the ringer more than once.I purchased it new in 85 and cut with it in cold weather in NY state and never had an oiling issue. I use winter oil when it was below 30 outside.Ken

I picked up a 028 super for free last year, was asked to take it to the dumpster because it was a worthless POS. I looked it over and figured I could get at least $50 in parts from it. Shop looked at it and said they could fix it for $60 and I said sure. 22 year old saw and runs like a champ, I use it more than my “new” MS 310. Friday the 8th I went to the shop just to see what’s new, and they have a 028 wood boss with three chains he took in for trade. Got it for $40.00 and just like its bigger “super” brother, runs great.

Question for the experts: did the 028 Super come from the factory with a rim sprocket or spur sprocket?

Someone told me today that they came stock with an OEM rim sprocket setup -- and I want to know if thats true!

Meatsaw,

My 028 super has a spur sprocket. I don't know if it's original but that is the way it was when I got it a few months ago. I do plan on switching it over though.

John.. NICE saw!!!!

Question for whomever might know. When splitting the case on an av super, how many pins are there besides the 5 or 6 screws? I only found one. Any ideas?

I'm in.......

....three of my 028s. Have one more Super and WB waiting for me to finish putting back together. My favorite model Stihl.....subscribed.

To my knowledge all 028s came with spur sprockets orginally. I have a late production model that's spur, of course there is always the possibility a few came with rims.

The middle one in the photo above looked exactly like Tzed250's when I got it. Estate auction, came with two chains, original tool kit and manual for $160. It appeared the saw was run just long enough to lightly dull the chains. I've put many, many cutting hours on 'er since. Great saw.

For some reason i like the older stihls just the way they look. Those 028s are sharp looking, hopefully i can come across a deal one day.

So how much more cc's are the Supers?

A few pics of my assault weapons,The ms310 is great for bucking big logs.The 028 super is great for everything,everyday.

Mine has the rim sproket.

How many of the 028s had side chain adjuster? Some day I hope to put a project one back together that is a side adjust.

Great lineup. What I find particularly interesting about those saws is that each one is a little different from the rest. For being all 028 Supers you'd think they'd all be the same.

One of the tags (on the left most saw) indicates "wood boss" -- does this have different specs than the other regular 028 Supers?
