Your O-two-six was THE humdinger of a climbing saw in its day...still is a great saw. I have one that's still barely used.
I've had a few Stihl saws. An 036 Pro w/36" bar was a beast and dependable.
One of my fav's was the 019T...a little one-handed sweetie for small cuts.
Hard to start ...tons of compression for a little bugger.
I put a Pico Micro Narrow bar 'n chain on her and she would cut like she was pissed off.
