Collection saw, kept many years unused. Last owner seemed to have tried to restore it cosmetically.
Great compression, good spark, turns nice and free.
Kept clean and stored properly.
This vintage saw is sold as is due to its vintage nature and there would be no returns.
It would need to be gone through completely to start and saw/mill with it.
Made in West Germany, work horse classic 090G gear-drive model, equipped with its original OEM parts throughout except the custom made muffler.
The STIHL 090G is becoming increasingly rare worldwide.
A true collector's item and a powerful professional- grade chainsaw from STIHL's golden era.
Feel free to message me for any questions.
