066 Parts saw?????

[Stihl-in-Ky]

Well I planned on getting an 066 for a milling saw but didn't have all the money yet so I bid on a parts saw so I could tear it down and know something about the 066.I bid on one on E-bay that had some parts gone but the guy said he had put gas in carb and it had fired. It was one of a lot he had bought from a retired logger . Well I got it shipping and all for 205$.It needed a top handle and a few other parts so when it came in I thought it did not look to bad and put a handle and E clip and washer on the sprocket but the choke switch would not work right so I took off the carb cover and the carb was surrounded in mudauber nests I cleaned them off put it back together put some gas in it 6 tries and it fired took the choke off 2 pulls and it started and ran great .So then I cleaned it up and put on the parts I found it needed,
sprocket cover,top handle,chainn adjuster,chain catcher ,4 screws,manuals and a carb kit total cost 319$. I already had a bar and chain for it.Here are the before and after pics

Jeeze, most "parts" saws i have looked at must have been run over & drug buy a skidder for a couple of miles. That saw is in great shape! How was the piston & rings? Throw a dual port muffler on it and you are in business.....

wow!!! that was one grungy saw. i have seen people using them daily that looked like that!!!

great clean up.

dont forget to dual port the muff before milling. very very important on a milling saw

Well have been busy at work and the Daughter and grandson came in from Oklahoma City for a 2 week visit.But here are the pics of the hackberry milling with the 066 I bought.We milled one saturday and the piston galded.The good news was I had wanted to put a big bore kit in it and it came in the next tuesday and we went out and milled with it the next weekend.That sure woke her up had a bunch more power.
Also some pics of the small log mill knockoff my SIL and I built for him he is using it with his new 361.
Also i have since dual ported the 066 but have not had a chance to use it since but it sure sounds good.
Also 1 pic of a cherry log a neighbor gave us.

At the start of this thread I thought you might come out on the losing end. Glad to hear otherwise-even with the BB kit and cleaned up nice. Crank feel ok when you had the jug off?

happy milling
