    066 Air Filter Cover

    You still have 066 flat top air filter covers?

    Need advice, 066 MS-660

    Sorry you're personally offended that I sold a Husqvarna, lighten up a little. I'm not looking to buy a kit saw or a box of junk, just a used serviceable saw.

    I think the parts saw has a Meteor top end. I like their pistons but I've never seen one of their cylinders.

    Need advice, 066 MS-660

    You've made two references to junk. Just to clarify, are you calling used saws junk or Stihl saws junk? So far I've had 6 saws, two Husqvarna's and 4 Stihl, none have been junk and all have been used pawn shop jobs. I've had to replace a chain or fuel line here and there but all of them have run...

    Honestly, because I like Stihl better. I have a buddy that's a Husqvarna nut and he wanted it real bad so I it go.

    Half price for starters. I'm not overly concerned with cosmetics and I'm not using it to make a living. I need a big saw occasionally and I need one that is reliable but I'm not willing to spend a grand or more on a saw for my purposes.

    I'm thinking the parts saw is rebuilt Stihl that they replaced all the cosmetic stuff as well as rebuilding the engine. Some guy in Canada is putting a bunch of these together, probably got the idea from the saw in a box craze. I checked the ads and didn't see anything, I'm checking multiple...

    Need advice, 066 MS-660

    Greetings all! So, I sold my 394xp and I'm looking to replace it with a 066 or MS-660. Big saws are not common in my area so I'm looking at eBay and such. My dilemma is this, I can get a Stihl 066 that has a lot of wear and tear but is all stock, or, I can get a "parts saw" that is new for say...

    Axe recommendations please

    I sent a review to the USA rep at Helko and he told me that the edge on that particular axe comes the way it does because they figure the owner will want to finish the edge to their own specs for whatever they intend to do with it. I did not know that going in but it's no big deal, I know how to...

    Axe recommendations please

    Ok, review time! You can see by the pictures above that this axe did not come with an edge suitable for American hardwood, however, I decided I would try it out of the box just for the sake of fairness. It was fairly sharp and probably would have been fine for splitting but that's not what I...

    Funny you should mention that Art, my Granddad was a mine foreman and he was also involved with CCC when they cut the roads through mountains where I'm from. I think the single bit pictured is too new to have been involved in that but the double bit could very well have been used during that...

    Check these relics out! These were my Granddad's. They're in terrible shape, especially the single bit, but I think I have a couple projects. I was talking to my Dad about axes and he told me he still had these. I remember actually using both as a kid but I had no idea they were still around...

    What seems to be the best pattern for hardwood, the Dayton?

    Axe recommendations please

    I don't know much about vintage axes. Do you have particular brands you look for? I may pick up an old head for giggles but I'm not sure what names I should search for. Plumb and Kelly seem to come up a lot but those are the only two I've heard of.

    Axe recommendations please

    You know, I've hunted out of tarpaper shacks in Michigan. I never thought much about them until now, I bet they're remnants from the logging days. They were all on property that had sections that had been logged decades ago and the land owners maintained the shacks for deer hunting. They call...

    I don't know squat about logging on a large scale or the glory days of the lumberjack, however, I deer hunt close to this little town in Michigan by the name of Luther. Luther has what's called "Luther Logging Days" to celebrate the logging industry they once had and judging by the equipment...
