I bought that same saw in 1995 and used it last Tuesday to cut some osage.  No telling how many staves it has accounted for.  Still has the original chain on it.  There's probably about 25% of the metal left on those teeth.  Really need to buy a new chain.  Love the saw.  Suspect you will too.  Looks like they've improved it.

Stihl makes a very good saw.

Thats a good saw for sure be real careful it'll hurt you bad if things go wrong.Ron

sonny:
I bought that same saw a few years ago and while it doesn't get used all that often I know I can trust it to start after only a couple of pulls.....
very reliable, ample power.

very nice saw
i used to use stihl and jonserud all day long,back when i worked on a foretry crew
many many years ago
i prefered the jonseruds back then but stihl makes on hell of a saw(personal preferance)

now i only have a 18" poulon pro
ya i know wha your all thinking,piece of crap
but i dont need a saw for fire wood
i only need on for cutting that occasional tree down for staves
maybe one tree a year adn this works just fine for

remember its not a good idea(no matter what kind of saw you have) to leave fuel in the tank or carb for extended periods of time when not in use
modern fuels can play hell on them when they sit
it can cause the carb bowl to pit,plays hell on needles and seats in the carb also,not to mention the fuel will break down after about 3 months
modern gas sucks ass

enjoy that saw,it will probably outlast you if you take proper care of it  ;)
