These are great saws! The problem with the one I bought was lack of maintenance, and maintenance by unqualified people. The ground wire from the shut off switch has all the insulation melted off. This may have been caused by overheating due to much dirt inside the saw. They need to be cleaned as the are air cooled, and no air equals no cooling! The spark plug wire had rubbed against the flywheel until it shorted, ruining the ignition module. Had it been installed correctly this would not have happened. This is a 200 dollar part, which is more than I paid for the saw. So much for it not running due to a faulty shut off switch. I will repair it, but I would rather have bought a running one. I will have about 500 dollars in it with bar, chains, ignition, and a few other small parts.

I've owned my 056 for 20 years. Got it in Enumclaw Wa. used. His name is Luther. When Luther runs, heads turn. He's happiest slicing through huge Oak trunks with his 32 or 42 inch bar. Power to spare. Nuttn this saw can't handle. Stihl got this machine right. It's 34 years old and just keeps cutting and cutting. Only repair was a new coil recently. Had to use a Husqvarna SEM G/A coil as the originals are hard to find but it works fantastic. Run Luther run!!

I bought an 056 manum II because I already own one of its family . I have owned an 045 super for sometime and through my research had found that these model saws were some of the best in their day . Not to say that they still can't be one of the best even today . I set out to find an 056 magnum II due to the fact it was the premiere work horse of its day . I was really excited to find this particular one because of its limited use and in such great shape . Since my purchase I have attempted to restore it to its original condition and function . With the help of ebay I have been able to achieve this goal . The experience has been rewarding and fulfilling . Thanks. eBay
