Now then,the model .The 028,038 042 and 048 were all built on the same design.Fact some of the parts,like the oil pump is interchangable .They might be considered as antiquated but if you think about it they were made for the long haul .Many are still in service after 20 some years of usage .
Of those models the 028 and 038 are the most popular and the supply of parts ,after market or OEM is plentiful or at least in these parts .The 038 mag and the 380/381 are basically the same saw although those models were not sold in north America basically because they could not pass EPA emissions tests .Any Stihl dealer worth a pinch of coon chit should be able to get the parts .
