ReplyDeleteBought a used 028 super in 1990, still cuts 10-12 cords of firewood every year while the MS280 sits in the garage
ReplyDeleteBought mine from a pawn shop, and it was beat then. Just kept bolting parts on and it won't die. Early model, when a chain brake was optional; older than my kids.

ReplyDeleteI have an 028 wood boss that I would like to rebuild and upgrade to the largest head and piston size that can be used. Can you tell me anything about that?
ReplyDeleteAlso have .029 farm boss and MS360 pro that I will probably do the same on.
Also, can the carb be replaced on an MS version to old style? Thanks
This is the largest bore kit available for the 028

ReplyDeleteAre all Stihl 028 AV Super'sconsidered WB (WOOD BOSS) ? The reason I ask is because I'm looking for a cylinder head and gasket replacement for my still 028 AB super electronic quick stop chainsaw but I don't see no WB on any of the labels and my part number is 1118-029 23 06 and the closest part number I can I get is 1118-203 I believe. Does anyone know where I could get a cylinder head and gasket kit for my saw any help would be appreciated thank you
ReplyDeleteI bought my 028 Farm Boss in 1988. After 33 years, it still cuts like a dream and starts on the first pull. Really!
ReplyDeleteHow does the 028 compare with the 044 in your opinion?
ReplyDeleteMy first Stihl was an 028 Super given to me new by my late uncle in 1985. Very reliable saw. It was accidently run on raw gas a few years later and ruined. I recently purchase a nice used one in my uncles memory. If you can pick up a decent used one do it. Great saw for sure.
