What/Whom do you love more, JB Weld or Lakeside?:love1:
9 of your posts out of 10 include one or the other, LOL.:spam:
I got the sellers contact info and called him. I was very polite and listed the defects. He was very polite. He sold the saw for his brother. He said he would talk to his bro and get back with me in about 20 minutes. Believe it or not, he actually. He wanted me to know he was still trying to get ahold of his bro and had looked at the pics. He mentioned being new on eBay and didn't want to make a bad name for himself. He also said he didn't know how all the PayPal stuff works for a refund. I told him I'd prefer to just return it and that we'd talk about the details of how to make that happen once he talks to his bro. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
If worst came to worst, the case could be made near 100% with a good JB Weld repair. The only stress that area sees is when you pull the rope. Everything else is bolt on stuff. I knew the engine shroud and recoil needed replaced already, so no problem there.

Whether he sends it back or not, he will buy a BB kit anyways :hmm3grin2orange:
Here's the minorly broken recoil.
Nice little surprise under the slightly damaged recoil.
One of the front AV mounts is nearly broken off.
More damage to the tank.
The filter base is broken on both sides.
Or run over it with a skidder?

Hmmmmmm.........................When you bid on a broken saw to begin with you should expect the worst.......
I do seem to remember that other beater you bought...........The 440/junker

Will a 066 tank fit on a MS660, PN 1122 350 0853?
So you expect nearly everything to be broken on a saw when the seller tells you it's not?

Yes its called LIES.
This is why I only buy used locally - so I can physically inspect it myself.
You see I bought this truck one time...
It's a sad day when you have to assume that the average Joe is a liar and can't trust anything they say.

Did you check compression,maby the p/c is good.If it is, it might be worth messing with.I would take the tank off to look at the rest of the case for cracks.
The piston is toast but the cylinder looks like it would clean up and hone to look like new. I looked the saw over pretty carefully and couldn't find anything else.
BUYER BEWARE...........The pictures on the ebay listing showed damage.......You still bid on it .........Im not saying the seller didn't hide the facts......You as a bidder saw that it had damage and its always a buyer beware...
A damaged saw is what you bought......I know you were wishing for a great rebuilder........Some times you loose when you bid on a damaged saw....
I'm not wanting to argue with you, but that's why I email a seller and ask detailed questions. If I get prompt responses that seem to be legit, I calculate that he'w likely being up front. In this case, the seller knew hardly anything about the saw and hardly even looked at it since he was selling it for his brother who has no Internet access.

The 660 tank should work on it.You might be able to fix that tank with a sodering iron.I have fixed them that way before.How are the crank berings?
I "think" the crank bearings are fine. They have no play in them. They feel smooth and will then hit a bump. I'm guessing they are just dirty from the saw having been taken apart so dirty. If I repair it, the case will be split and the bearings cleaned and inspected.
