HLsupply bearings questions

[Ben Barnhart]

Hello, Im in the process of rebuilding a pretty ratted out early model Stihl 066. OEM bearings are quite spendy and i will be placing an order for a piston and a gasket set from HlSupply, anyone have experience with the aftermarket bearings? The saw wont be used much, just to buck some bigger oaks and maples from time to time. Thank you!

I have built a couple saws and used aftermarket bearings and have encountered no issues with them. In fact they look exactly like what was removed oem. My ms360 pro is running strong and it's all hutzl. Good luck with your build.

Ill have to check them out! I was reading that the PTO bearing is proprietary, but looks like theres a plethora of aftermarket bearings out there

I am planning an all aftermarket 660 build . Just about have all the parts. It should be interesting. May be a turd but will have about 500 less than what a new one costs invested.

Same here! paid 70 bucks for it, came in a cardboard all taken apart. Two AV mounts are broken off on it, so ill have to get inventive to fix that if my welder can't get the right rod to weld them back up! Theyre good project saws with a plethora of aftermarket parts

I have placed several orders with HL Supply.

The orders were shipped fast and everything was as described.

I have not had any problems with any item I received from them.

I had a item destroyed in shipment and they immediately replaced it.

There are some aftermarket bearings that are better then OEM out there but are a little hard on the wallet.

Check with some local bearing suppliers in your area if you have some. They can cross-reference most any bearing now-a-days.

I have had really good luck with HL supply, no failure of bearings or pistons, great service also.

The 066/660 bearings that I sell are the exact bearing HL Supply sells. The PTO side is an OEM bearing and the flywheel side is a generic bearing from any bearing supply house.

1 of the places I use too . They also give 10% off your orders if you put in the code word being a member of chainsaw repair.

Does that go for your ms460 bearings also Randy?

Ive ordered some hl supply bearings for a husky 55. Running good so far and were a good price too.

I like to use site members for parts when possible, what's your business name?
