Ha, ha, heavens no. Didn't know they had em. Stihl 041 bought new in about 72 or 73. That saws too big for me now so I have a smaller Echo. But Husky and Jonsereds are good saws too. But none seem to compare to the old 041. Its kind of like our old cars, slow and steady, runs forever. Max

The Bilstein HD shocks help too of course bu lighter wheel/tires are good .

Max,

Get whatever you want.

Going from 14" to 15" with aluminum rims, and getting lower profile tires to get about the same ride height, shouldn't add weight, and if you're going from steel 14"s to Aluminum 15"s, it'll be lighter. I did that to my wife's Volvo, Steel to Aluminum, yet found some Volvo 16"s at the PAP that fit, with lower profile tires. Handles quite well.

Here's the Craigslist search for MB 300D in OC, and besides the one for 25K, the rest seem reasonable

Actually, I am looking at a 1985 300d in Florida with 200,000 miles on it. But, he wants $6k for it. I had my son-in-law look at it and take pics. A little rust, but runs great. I will post pics in case anyone is interested
