That is a very nice saw. (All most new) I used one like it for years (in my line up) cutting firewood. Small tip. During reassembly I would not use a power tool. It is very easy to cross-thread and strip the holes in the body of your chainsaw.
I made a complete rebuild this summer of an 038 super from 1990. Complete tear down, new bearings, shaft sealing rings, dampers, sealings, carburetor kit and all other rubber stuff. Now it's like new and In a few weeks it will see the wood first time after the rebuild. I'm so excited. Good job and enjoy your saw
Has you pulled that chain yet? How's it cut? I just rebuilt a 038 super swapped the top end to a mag top end ported pulling a 25 inch bar with rsf chain and a 8 pin sprocket and so far have sunk the whole bar into red oak and had no issues, cutting 8 inch pine takes 3 seconds on the timer. It pulls hard to say the least
I haven't cut anything with it yet. I'll be getting into firewood production once it cools down a little bit. The engine has a ton of compression. Sometimes feel like I'm going to break the cord
Bought a STIHL 034 AV ($465.00) back in 1987 when clearing my property. Still use it to this day, although now-a-days, it may go a year between starts... it only takes 2-3 pulls to fire up.
Just bought my first Stihl, a hardly used but dirty and stale 034 AV. So excited to do a breakdown and 1st ever carb service, so thanks for the great video for reference! Nice camera work and that air power cleaning looks scary for my delicate eyes. Also, I didn’t stay for the music, but can’t please anyone with music, I’m sure! Have subscribed, keep having fun!
I’ve got one I bought new over 30 years ago! Had to replace chain break and fuel line. Cut tons of wood!! Outstanding saw, still use it today! Really no issues!
I can't get over how different you look from your bow drill video 6 years ago when I first subscribed (not in a bad way). Then again, I had a full black beard and now I'm halfway to being a silver fox. Time and change gets us all. Great video, as always, and keep it up brother!
I had a stihl AV 38 a 20 years old saw past on from my father to me it was a real legend of unimaginable power for a chainsaw truly high performance but ran its course
My experience and my fathers both logging our whole life, Stihl has the power and performance but the reliability lacks compared to Huskys in cold weather. Even the colder weather kits don't seem to help... my experience that is. Still lovely saw!
I work up in a logging town and the old timers seem to love the husky saws for their vibration dampening. I like the Stihls because they are more straightforward for repairs in my opinion. I haven't used the Stihl in lower than 20f so I'll leave that to you folks
I just grabbed a 038 mag II at a yard sale. Had sat under an old guys bench for years. Some fresh fuel and she fired right up. Next is to clean her up good, maybe a little bit porting and a 30 inch bar. Initial cost at garage sale, $20. Im happy. Lol
I have the same saw. Dad bought new in 1991. Just put a new filter and spark plug - runs just like new. Here in Canada there is a acid based cleaner that Stihl makes. Works outstandingly. Quite strong actually, melts all the dirt but does not affect the paint or plastic. Wear gloves it will burn. how is the saw anyway?
Stihl sells the original grey and orange paint at your local dealer.or they can order it.i will say the paint you have to let it set for a day or 2.dude you suck lol gettin props from youtube.whats the serial# start with on that saw?#1 is germany,#3 is brazil the outlaw saw.
Thing should go for a while, mine lasted close to 900 quard before the motor locked up solid. These and the older husky 61 are the best saws out there to run on a 18 to a 24 inch bar for milling. Go to 24 inch i recomend a skip tooth chain tho.
Excellent video thanks for sharing this. Excellent saw should bring you many years of service. Good buy on bar and chain as you don't see those everyday. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks Wesley! A guy bought the bar and chain to send to his family in Mexico since it's hard to find parts there (Husqvarna saturated) but they decided on 20" bars instead.
I got my uncle’s 038 magnum 2 after he died,hardly used,full wrap handle,runs great. It’s cool because it says made in west Germany on it. It complements my early 90s 066 nicely. Love old saws. Greetings from British Columbia 😎
@@innerbarkoutdoors I mean it's a fact that you can see it hanging off the bar. Maybe get some pointers or a lesson from a professional before going further and hurting yourself. I was trying to be helpful but your snarky reply tells me you are too smart for advice. Btw half your info in this video is wrong dipshit. If you dont know what your doing, dont try to give others suggestions.

Good call!! First time really doing this so tips like this is great :)
@@innerbarkoutdoors :)
Those torx heads are going to strip if you don't back off the drill a little bit sooner.
I can't believe I missed this somehow when it was posted. Hadn't ever heard of the 038 Magnum 2 before.
A lot more than 8 cords through that saw…
I have a couple cords and a few trees through it by now. I love this saw for hazard trees because it's so fast.

Get some!
What is the price of this particular saw if someone were to buy one?

Outstanding job, buddy! Although watching you fire that thing up in nothing but t-shirt, shorts, and socks was a bit unnerving. Safety first! LOL
:)
i have o38 copy. (farmtech 388) i have been very happy with it. i am sure you will love this saw.
I got a farmertec 660 kit ready to be put together. Can't wait!
You should change the title because you didn't actually restore the saw
Eat sawdust

My stihl 034 was my first real chainsaw. That thing just keeps running
@@innerbarkoutdoors Noticed you haven't posted lately... hope all is well with you & your family.

Plus I work for "the man" now. Laaaaame!

Thanks 👍

Yeah the new saws don't hold a flame to these pre EPA restricted pro saws.

Dude, you stole that thing at $20!
I just bought a used 038 Super and I cant wait to start using it. Loved this video!

1. Get a life 2. Don’t let a video of someone you don’t know bother you so much :)
😒😒😒
Let me sharpen it see what it do 😈😈😈

Im not talking shit i love that saw

Nice to hear, Nelson. Thank you for the comment and your experience with these beasts.
Love the chain saw videos! Stihl is the best!
Glad you are liking the content - and yes, Stihl is the bomb
Checking in, hows the saw running? Slapped a 32 on mine with skip now and did a bit of port work last fall and it woke up like a mad man now
The saw is running well! Once we get some more snow melted at the cabin we will be going WOT on some trees.
Ive rebuilt and ported 2 of these saws. These things are torque monsters. They give you a heck of an arm work out too.

Awesome video, paint looks great! Subscribed and will follow on IG
Thanks brother!
I used to own 1 of this beautiful machines.......It was my best so far....🤕
What became of it?
This makes me want to dig into my 441 that I bought off of a guy. Nicely done Andy!
Right on!
Great job Andy. That’s awesome. Congrats
Thanks 👍
I have the exact same saw. 28" bar. I just love it.
Noiceee
I didn't know these were rare and vintage. Me and my buddy each have one that we run.
You have the magnum 2? I know anlog of guys have the super and the magnums, and a lot of the standard 38s are still used by homeowners

Found you from TikTok.
Hello!
Those old Sthil's are fantastic. Great project. Got to keep your hands solid on that beast. God bless.
You got that right!
Your chain is dangerously loose
Thanks for your opinion
