Yes. I believe the wood boss had a slightly smaller piston than the super. Exact specs best left to someone who knows better than I...

The wood Boss in the saw tree on the right. Not as pretty as some I've seen on this thread...
I'll get a better pic of it wearing the new 18" bar.. Suits it better I think...

Claykann, I think the plain WB is 47 cc's and the super is 52.5 or something like that.
Madsaw, not sure how many had the side chain adjusters, the super I just bought does have it and from what I have read the ones with the side adjuster were some of the last ones built. That could be wrong but it seems that I read that somewhere.

And another...
Mine:
This had the 44mm p/c that I upgraded to the 46mm p/c (super). I think it's my favorite saw.

Here's my rebuilt 028AV Super I got from BigBadBob. I put in a Stihl NOS P&C, new crank bearings, seals, carb kit, fuel & impulse lines, intake boot, 3/8 rim sprocket and drum, and a new bar and chain. I've ran about two tanks through it and it runs like a champ!

Good looking exhaust Racer... What did you change in the guts? Re-work everything? Or just open it up a bit?

New bar and chain, oil pump seals, new elastostart, muffler mod and carb ajustment. Compression is about 155# so I didn't touch the internals.

How do you feel your super stacks up against the 261 in cut speed?
Or 346xp for that matter...

After some modifications... 18" B&C buried in 24" log. [video=youtube;MxcwoezPSoU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxcwoezPSoU[/video]
I think I'm on the right track...
I have an 028 that I I am making into a super. Not sure why but the piston stops at just before bottom dead center against the crank case.
Unless someone can tell me why not to, I am going to remove some of the crank case where the skirts are bottoming out.

Did it just start doing that??? Or did you buy it that way? If everything is right inside it shouldn't do that.
3 sizes of bore on the 028's: 42mm ,44mm, 46mm (super). To go from the 44mm to the 46mm is a simple direct bolt on. Not so simple to go from 42mm to 46mm. Same stroke but different rod lengths I believe. A few on here have done it but it requires some work/modifications. What exactly that is I'm not sure, but it has been discussed on here somewhere.
Is a saw that had a bad PC in it. Ordered a Super, must be the 42 crank and case. Oh well, its going to be a super... eventually.
