I bee'z lookin fur a MINT set of 064 cases. I got $$, and lots of parts of the cream sickle variety.
You might contact Jockeydeuce.
Wiggs,
Haven't heard back from you, just wanted to make sure you got the other chain I sent.
Is the steel sleeve in that case of yours moving??....I've seen lots like that with a crack in the powder coat where the aluminum and the sleeve meet....It doesn't "always" mean it's loose.

Sure did man. I still got ur other chain though.
It's definetly cracked....
I don't think it's moving though :dunno:
I think I have a 372 intake boot and clamp. I doubt I have a piston but you can get a Meteor piston from Sal
at Northwood pretty cheap.
Did you find the 044 stuff you were wanting?
When Stihl casts the aluminum around that steel sleeve on the PTO side, there's a tiny gap at the surface...When the powder coat goes on there tends to be like an air bubble behind the powder coat. Because it's not really bonded in that spot it cracks the coating.
Having said that, I've seen one that actually was loose, but every second one has a crack in the coating, but the sleeve is rock solid.
Someone else chime in if they know more than me.:biggrin:

You're pretty much on the money, but in this case, Wigglesworth is extremely knowledgeable and knows when a case half is junk.
If he says it's garbage, it's garbage.
JJ....Wiggs said his sleeve has no play.:msp_confused:
Ok, he told me in PM that he thought it had movement.

First chance I get, I'll check it out real good. There not the prettiest, but very usable, if the ring ain't loose. After I saw the crack, I didn't pay much more attention to em. It would still be nice to find a super nice set, to go with my near new old school 064 tank...
I could also use a super nice top cover for one

Hmmmmmm......Well if it has any movement whatsoever, Wiggs.....It's garbage!
I figure after the crowbar and 2lb sledge gettin that stinking bearing out, I should be able to tell pretty easy if it's a bit loose by now.
Probably one of the most difficult saws I've split...

And you wonder why there's a crack in the powder coat??:hmm3grin2orange:
U been sippin da Turk a bit J?
Noooo...back when you were fishing around for cases...you said you had a set for 064 that was garbage because the bearing seat was coming out.
