Hello, newbie here. I found this forum while doing research for a class a couple months ago and have been lurking since. Anyways, I found a couple of used saws for sale.

One is an 044. Its worn but looks to be in decent shape.

Dealer search. My Servicing Dealer. Search Results Find Your. Special Offers from Your Local STIHL Dealer. Stihl chainsaw Identification or Model numbers worn off. Look for a part number stamped somewhere. Look on the case, or in side the filter cover. The model number and serial numbers are needed to identify what year uyour Stihl saw was made.

Not sure of its history but doesn't look abused. The other is also a Stihl but I'm not sure what it is, all the writing on the stickers is worn off. Serial Floorplan 3d V11 Gratis there. It has more scratches and wear. The saw looks slightly bigger than the 044 and currently has about a 48' bar. The person helping me didn't know anything about saws and would like to get rid of them. How can I identify what it is and possibly the year?

I haven't had time to run either one but if I remember right the larger has a chain brake. Not sure about the 044.

Also what should I look for in each. Thanks, Greg.

1 Locate the serial number for your saw. This is placed in different places for different saws. Stihl chain saws, for example, have the serial number printed on the crankcase or the motor housing. Homelite chain saws, on the other hand, have the serial number printed on the bottom side of the saw, and Husqvarna saws have the serial number near the oil cap, front handle, starter cover or on the bottom of the machine. Whatever brand you have, look for a metal plate or an embossed series of numbers somewhere on the engine housing. Also note the model number, if any, printed in larger font on the engine housing.
