The saw plus the 25' bar/chain, not bad for $180 (original cost) worth of old ammo.If Stihl can't or won't help and it was registered any dealer can tell you the first owner by going on-line to Stihl's Eservice system (every dealer was issued a log on recently). He put me on hold for a few minutes and came back with the fact that it was an unregistered, not reported stolen, 2008, MS460. Since I still had the contact number for the person on CL, I told him to go ahead and run it. If it was, he would be bound to report it as such opening that can of worms. He said he could call Stihl and run the Serial #, but that I needed to be prepared for the possibility that it might be a stolen saw. I called over to my local Stihl guy to see if he could identify it for me. (I either need better lighting out in the garage, or trade in these cheaters on a good set of glasses ). Low and behold, I found the Serial# under a layer of baked on crud. Since I posted the above, I went back out and kept working cleaning up this saw.

The deal on this CL 'MS440' saw just got even better. Inquiring mind wants to know, I was thinking about possibly 'pimping out' this saw since I have the newer one that I'll leave as is.

I suppose that if I took it appart a ways to see the cylinder # I might be able to tell with that, but is there some other easier to get to number, or identifying feature that can help? Am I missing something here?Ĭaballo de troya 4 pdf descargar gratis. It looks just like my newer MS440 except the newer one has the two piece air filter cover assembly instead of the one piece cover on the older one. That started making me wonder if this is a 440 or 460. My air filter cover is part 112C/0503B/0504A. Just various parts numbers on individual parts. But I tried to find a 'single definitive serial #' on the saw so I could make sure what I have. I realize that the covers changed over the years slightly, and some parts may be the same between the two saws. I was confused in that the specific part numbers being referenced there for several 440 covers didn't match mine, but I did find the matching cover listed under the 460 saws. I thought about 'sprucing it up a little' and getting new/used air filter/engine covers for it and started checking ebay for parts. You can call Stihl or contact them through email to learn if the previous owner ever reported it as stolen. When people buy the chainsaw new at a dealer, often the dealer takes care of registering the chainsaw with the Stihl company. Stihl assigns all the chainsaws it manufactures a distinct number.

Write down the serial number for the chainsaw. It was missing the ID Plate from the top of the engine cover so I assumed that is what it was. The guy was 'selling it for a neighbor' story, didn't know much about it. Is there a simple way to identify the difference between these saws, Serial number, etc.? I recently acquired a used Stihl saw off CL (post 'traded old ammo for MS440') that was claimed to be an MS440.
