Hi Foothills! Your video was very helpful for my Stihl 028 WB rebuild. My saw appears to be about the same vintage as yours. I had to stop some of the vide clips that were art high speed as I didn't photograph as much as I should've. The main crank seal was leaking massive amounts of oil and the re-build stopped the leak. She runs like she is brand new! THANKS!
I just picked up one of those saw 1month ago at a garage sale for $100.00 came with a case , files , tools and bars oil. it was 84 or 85 year model. it was like new until I got ahold of it. it's cut close to 3 cords of wood without any issues. thanks for sharing your time. cheers
I have an 028WB myself and have it torn down and the case split and your video has been a great help. One question though, your new cylinder looks larger than the original. Are the cylinders interchangeable? I have a 42mm so would i be able to go to the 46mm?
Thanks for the video, I was looking online for the chain brake kit or even Stihl dealer, everyone said different way...now I know the chain saw did not has chain brake. Lol
Just picked up my 028AV Wood Boss from Stihl shop, said piston & cylinder are done & not worth finding parts nor the labour to fix. After watching your videos, thinking maybe give it a whirl.
This must be quite an early 028, with the cheese head machine screws and the front guard (no brake) without holes in it. I have an early 038 it has the same hand guard but with the chain brake, same discoloured side panel plastic - however it has all torx screws. Nice job. Cheers
Where did you find replacement parts? Looks like you have the correct bar tensioning screw and gasket, I'm having difficulty finding one.. Thanks in advance, and great job on the rebuild. The 028WB is a great saw...
Just watched your 5 part series,very informative and we'll presented thanks for taking the time to film it. How are the aftermarket parts holding out? I've been leary of using them in my saws. Once again thanks keep up the good work.
Showing a follow up on the aftermarket parts would be a great idea.I've purchased aftermarket carbs and about three out of ten are ok the only problem is the welch plugs are not sealed properly. I used a little clear nail polish, prob!am solved.

Fantastic videos! And thank you for your trail work on the foothills, without quality people like you that trail wouldn't be hike able.
Thank you so much!

Wow. Just seeing this in ‘21. Great detailed job. Where can I find torque spec’s. Like flywheel nut and so forth?

Very good video series. Looks like new now. Well done.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and commenting
You are very welcome, learnt a lot. Hope my restoration of a Stihl 031av goes as good as yours did.
@@asulondawn Im sure it will! I have an old 041 I want to do next year and make several videos.
I wish i could video my progress but do not have video camera or confidense to share with others. Your videos have taught me a lot Thanks again, John
@@asulondawn sure you can! Watch this vid I made about making a video... th-cam.com/video/0YDSaFpzGXU/w-d-xo.html

yes, thats what I did.

most of these saws did not have the brake.
Some did come with a brake. If he wanted with his he could retrofit his saw with the part # 1118 007 1002. I have the same saw and did with mine.
@@mfk12340 Thanks for inf.
My dad has the same saw. You did a great job on that saw
Im glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
!! Awesome video. Good stuff!!!! I’ve got myself a restoration video for mine now!!
Thanks so much for for watching and commenting. I hope you can use this video in some way when you restore your saw.
Good Job 4Sure, you surely have a lot of patience .
Thanks for commenting! I enjoyed working on the old saw. I've got an 041 that I want to clean up later.

I have Stihl 028 WB same the one you have and it did not have chain break also, so when I start up the chain is running...so is this normal?
Awesome breakdown!! Which "new" model Stihl is equivalent to the 028WB?
I am not sure. Maybe a MS251?
@@foothillstrailhiker2426 ok thanks for the reply!!
