It appears to be a low hour saw. It has a replacement Oregon bar on it, not sure what happened to the original, but I doubt this saw wore it out. These saws sure run great though. Hard to believe something designed in 1962 can start, cut and oil as well as they do.

How did I do for a lucky strike ....
SP125
CP125
quite a few parts missing, but the internals seem OK at a first glance. Very hard to find over here

Broke down and bought a first year 346xp OE yesterday. Just because it was the first year made 1999.
They dont make the early recoil decal or even a repop yet. So ordered the later OE decals to do for now. Just trying to make it right for the collector buyers out there that might want a first year one.

First post here even though I've used this site in the past when reading about saw repairs and tuning. I've been wanting to buy a Stihl saw that needed repairs that I can do myself for cheap, mainly because I need the power to cut thru big mesquite trees here in South TX. I picked up this 066 for $130 dollars yesterday. It has a scored up piston and the bar is too rusty to service. I'm intending to put a Meteor piston/cylinder kit in it, go thru the carb, and put a 24" bar on it. I'll use it and if it's too big, probably sell/trade it off for a new MS250 which is more than likely better suited for what my uses are.

For $130 you should be on the FBI Top Ten.

You suck... you can also send the saw my way if you get sick of it for disposal...
The bar doesn’t look as bad as some I have reused so long as the tip is good the rest you can always tune up.
Was chatting to a mate of mine who had three saws to give away as he has got a good electric saw, some green saw, a Husky and a big loud Dolmar. I snapped up the Dolmar and swung him a bottle of rum, all he knows about it is its had the top end rebuilt. Came with two 32'' bars and chains, chains are pretty much worn out. Started on the 3rd pull and came up well after a clean.

Like a brand new saw under the grime. Just air and wipe down.
1 owner 1986 61. Guy forgot he even owned it and was cleaning his shop out.
Cuts fine like a 61.5cc should. 48mmx34mm open port if recall right. See why folks wanted for firewood saws etc.

I run a lot of old pioneers, and a McCulloch from the 60's, and a handful from the 70s. I like them better than the new saws I have.
They run great, and they are easy to work on. Of course in my opinion it is the way it is meant to be!
I have 2 homelites - an xl12 and a super xl. Both running strong with very little effort to get them going again when I picked them up
Looking to add an sp125 to my collection. Really like these old large frame macs!
I have an older white top version. Finally needed a top end and I went with a Meteor kit for that. Did the seals at same time. Performed great for two seasons and now I’m replacing the anti vibe buffers. These saws are so easy to work on and maintain.
Yep done many in the 66 266 268 268xp 272. I just bought it to see how the 61 one was.
Only going to flip it once gone through.
Oh still have this one. Jred 670 champ
Prefer the 372 and 365 OE's though.

Kind of a You Suck moment. Was offered the pair for $50. But because she was very pretty, a great friend and I’m crazy about her, I paid $125 at her yard sale for the animal shelters around town. The 028 is as clean as anything (prayin it wasn’t straight gassed) and the Skillsaw is a runner and built like a tank.
$100. Not really something I was looking for, but couldn't pass up. Very little use.

300 for all this crap. I all read have one of the mark 3 fire pumps running. There is a couple rail lines impacts hiding in there as well
