Me and Sean Freeman are still running a Stihl 090 (I saw his on Fav Saws). I had to look for receipts the other day (cause I had some saws stolen) and found the 090 receipt from the beginning of l980. Still runs like a dream.

Yeah, that's a hard to get hold of saw here ... they still sell them in the States? How much?

treeguy100 · 12th January 2008, 04:57 AM

nope they dont sell 090 in usa

newguy18 · 12th January 2008, 06:38 AM

bailey's sells an aftermarket kit to which you build your own070 or 090.Imagine you could buy that and have an 090 [taiwan of course]for around 500 bucks.they have some others but I forget the model numbers.

I got mine in 1984, still runs great.

newguy18 · 12th January 2008, 06:27 PM

When i get a big saw It'll be a 3120 but I considered an 090 about 2 years ago it needed a top end and a new carb.

RandyMac · 12th January 2008, 09:28 PM

The newest chainsaw I own was made in 1975, the oldest 1950. Smallest 77cc, largest 129cc.

How you doing Michael?

Ekka, I think they quit making that saw when they replaced it with the 088 quite a few years ago. It is the saw you see with the approx 8 foot bar on it in Baraneck s 150 foot up and still 7 feet in diameter poster. 8.22 cubic inches of displacement and I think about 140 in cc s.

Quintrex · 14th January 2008, 09:04 PM

Yep 137 cc.

treevet · 14th January 2008, 09:19 PM

Quintrex, did you have yours converted from 1/2 inch to 404? Have you broken any anti vibe mounts?

Quintrex · 15th January 2008, 02:02 AM

Mine was .404 when I bought it new. I had an 070 and a Lightning G (gear drive) before that in 1/2". Chain was hard to get. Also had a Danarm in 1/2".
never broke any anti vibe mounts. Only problem was the drive hub in the centre of the flywheel came loos. Tig welded it together again and no problems since.

Jerry sold his 090 earlier this year on ebay.It went for quite a few bucks.Oh btw the correct spelling is Beranek.
