like the sticker, there is one here that might wanna take the bet. it's +12cc tho.
12cc is insane!!!
12cc bigger. 111cc
Well Stihl killer she ain't!
Little bit of light scoring on the piston.
Gives me a good excuse to go through it. New bearings, seals, piston, rings, carb kit, fuel line, and fuel filter. Then she will be a Stihl killer again and I will know what I have too.

What's better than 6 cube?? Lots of cubes 
Somebody needs to revive this thread. I just picked up a 7.98 Cube David Bradley, 5G21. My cousin called from an auction and asked how much he should go. I told him $50. He got it for a total of $30.07. He thinks I'm nutz for collecting old saws, but he finds them for me anyway. We are both 4th generation in family owned residential tree services, both retired. I'll get a pic up, I have to go pick it up in the morning.
Gotta see that puppy, Those DB's with that AH81 motor are very cool saws. I have a few myself.
Lee, I haven't got it in hand yet. We have 6 family members with birthdays in February, and we always go out to a big Chinese dinner at 2 in the afternoon. By the time dinner was over for us, my cousin was at his daughters house for Super Bowl dinner. All I know is he said it had 5G21 on the side, gear drive, and it turned over. I'm dying to go get it, but now I have to wait for a delivery this morning. I sent my 7-29 down to Chris in Australia a couple years ago, and I've never had the chance to play with a big gear drive. I'm gonna try and hold on to this one for a while. I'll get pics up ASAP.
sent one to chris, too, few yr ago.
they were holidayin the next summer, came by to meet.
nice people.

Bummer, my cousin saw the 5g21 on the saw and when I read him the model number he saw the 917 and didn't see the rest. It's one of the little 77CC models, and there is a crack in the gear case cover.
A couple of my big cube Huskies
When I got into milling I called my local Husky dealer and asked for a price on a 3120 with 3 bars, 2', 3' 5'. Told him I had cash in pocket. He said he had to order it and it would take 2 weeks to come in. Said he was short handed and would call me the next day with price. Next day he forgot, day after he forgot. Next day I called the local Stihl dealer and he had 2, 880's and 6, 660's on the shelf. Bought a 660. Called the Husky dealer back and he said he was sorry he forgot again. Said never mind, bought a Stihl. I've since dealt with that shop and they were super with service and parts. I guess they were just having a bad week.

Still working the bugs out Mark but it seems strong, in the process of making a new fuel tank gasket again. I learned my lesson about using hardware store gasket paper. I also have a leak in the carb I need to sort. I think I need to make a new gasket for the fuel filter cover on the bottom. I just rigged up a popoff pressure tester so I can test it before reinstalling it.

Picked up this 6 cube last night. Fires right up, but won't idle, probably just needs adjustment. 30" bar and 3/8 chain. Echo 1001vl
It has probably the stoutest compression of any saw I own, aside from the 090. The decomp is a must.
I thought I read somewhere about the fans exploding on these? Anyone got any other info? I also understand that these are fairly rare, so finding any parts is going to be impossible. Anything I should check before running it more?

I believe Cory (Hoggwood) has one of those that belonged to his Dad. He knows it quite well if you have any questions.
