For a smaller saw, I think the 030 and 031 were one of the best saws Stihl ever made. For a bigger saw, the 045 was built on the same format. Upright cylinder with high RPMs. 045-056 is probably one of the best bigger saws Stihl every made. I used my 045 Super all summer, every summer since 1979. Never even put a spark plug in and ran pefect until last year when the ignition module died. Stihl told me that no parts were availab;e to fix, anywhere on the planet. Pretty lousy service considering this is a professional-grade, expensive saw.
So, I bought a 64 cc. Dolmar/Makita (and love it). Every bit as good as any Stihl ever made. Later, I found a saw place in West Germany that stocks all the new repair parts for older Sthils. So, I ordered through German Ebay, got the parts a week later, and my 045 Super is running great again. NO THANKS to Stihl in the USA who offered no help at all.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
