Stihl 066 History

[bigbadbob]

I have an 066 that is an odd ball of the four dead ones I have. It has a 044 size clutch and white plastic between the carb and engine. Mike Acres site says the 066 was introduced in 1999. I don't think that's correct.
The serial of this one is X133539348. Anybody have some more info.
I have it running, 150psi compression.
TIA
Bob

Pictures???

The 066 has been out since 1994.. or so..

What do you mean "044" sized clutch? What are the part numbers on the clutch shoes and drum?

 

[bigbadbob]

Well andy that got me thinking!!!!
Is this saw actualy and 044 or 046???
I got the heap and was told it was all 066.
So here is the drum number 1128-160-2900.
I suppose I will get fried on here now!!!!
Sure looks like and 044, darn!!!!
Can I delete this thread fast enough!!!!

So... is it and 046 or an 044?

 

[Jacob J.]

It's an 044 or an 046, either one. If I remember correctly, the first 066s hit the shelves in October of '90, as I had just joined a Forest Service "Hotshot" crew that exclusively ran Stihl and we ordered 4 before they even came in.

And???
Am I failing "Stihls 101"
I have and 044 to compare, but no 046!!!

 

[Lakeside53]

you're supposed to be drinking with the wife!

lot's of differences.. tank, shroud, crankcase... etc etc...

If you have and 044, and it's not like that, maybe it's an 046
If it's an 044, is 12mm pin, so that's good..

More like 1988, according to my "secret" Stihl info.....

"Red light" non-Magnum, I believe.....

 

[Lakeside53]

yes... I was just guessing while drinking... Once I get back 12 years, it's just a blur

HE HE - I got that info from you, about a year ago.........

...well at least parts of it - the rest is from a 1990 workshop manual for 064/066.

 

[bigbadbob]

OK Here is an update. Its an 046
Compared a know 066 and a know 044.

 

[Bowtie]

Well, was the price right? PICS!!!!!

 

[bigbadbob]

Well the price was perfect, free. But I got it with three other saws in a box.
The deal is he gets one back running. So the 046 is together and running I have to go out and give it a run in some wood, it has 150+ compression cold so it's not dead yet. I had to round up a bunch parts to make it a saw. That leaves me with three 066 carcasses.:greenchainsaw:
