I think any 100 cc and larger saws are rare to find for the simple fact they were expensive and weren't needed in most cases .

I only know of one J-red 1020 and that's in the collection of Rick Helsel .Strangely Partner was not a popular Chainsaw brand in this area but the concrete saws were . In keeping with the topic of this thread I find them to be well made considering the time period .

There's a lot of merit in being able to get parts .More so for those who make a living with a chainsaw . Myself being merely a casual user it's not such a big deal but every so often you get into uncharted territory on some models .As I type in my garage are two rather rare models being a pair...

The only Stihl branded chain I've bought was one loop of .404 for an old Mac and the chains for my 200t's .Every so often I raid Toms trucks for his discards his idiots screwed up . He is a good filer but doesn't repair them . Then when I find the time I cut down say a 24 for a 20 and so on .A...

They can be classified as expendables like drill motors and power saws to a building contractor .Just depends on what you are doing with them .

Not to get in the fray but you have to bear in mind that some of us use saws and some of us work on them also .Makes a big difference in how some of us base our opinions .;)

I've got a couple of boxes of parts from Stihl 029's and 039's that only made it a couple of years before they gave up the ghost from being ground saws for a tree service company .By the same token I have a 281 Husqvarna and that 038 Stihl Magnun that were simply retired and still can...

I often use the example of one of my Stihl 038 Magnums that spent twenty plus years of extremely hard service for a tree service company .After about 18 it literaly grenaded it's piston .I rebuilt it with just a new piston bearings and seals and it served another 3 before it was replaced with...
