Does anyone know the specs of an 051.  Is an old pwerhead worth 100.00
I want to use it with my alaskan mill?

Ianab

Stihl 051 is 89cc
It's an older model saw, but should have enough grunt to run an Alaskan.
Not sure about parts for those older models though?

The online bible for chainsaws is at http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/GasbyManufacturer?OpenView

You can look up almost any make / model there .

I serviced a lot of them in the mid seventies. The fallers in southern British Columbia used them with 29" bars and .404 chain. Lots of torque but needed regular maintenance. The intake gaskets and insulator block were prone to leaking and the mufflers vibrated loose.
The oil pump drive is inboard of the crank seal and the pump o-ring would fail, allowing chain oil into the crankcase. The piston would hydraulic lock. Even with flushing the crankcase with gas, the rewind handle would rip out of my fingers a few times before it started. That hurt.

If you're looking at buying one, or buying any older saw for milling, I'd look at the 056 Super or 056 Mag II.  Parts for the 056 are fairly common because of the 045, with which it shared the majority of.  JMO, and just throwing that out there for ya.

I sold an 051, with original 24" bar, to a local fellow last year, to use on an Alaskan mill. He came back to say it worked better than he ever dreamed. As a bonus, he has an excallent saw for felling and bucking large timber.
