What kind of Mods are you looking to have done?

 

[groundup]

The muffler mod is pretty straightforward for a do it yourself type. I'm in Harford County MD and did my own 661 muffler, if your interested in just that I could walk you through it

Muffler and cylinder and combustion chamber

Anything will look impressive with a 6” bar on it

Is this what happens when you mate a 661 with a 170?

Hehe, you guys have a point, but you also have to consider the region and habits of certain parts of the world. Here in Romania we dont really like bars longer than 20". a 16" bar is perfect for the diameter of wood that we mostly cut in this parts of the world.

I totally agree, no point in running a 42"bar if you only cut 20"wood- but that log pile looks like a few of them sticks would challenge that bar- as proven by the pinch you get first cut of the second log.

You are right. There where a few thicker logs there. It wasn't me cutting, it was the owner of the 661, the bar was 16", he also had a 25" bar in the car that we ended up using for those bigger logs. We also had my Makita/Dolmar 6400 with a 20" bar and a Jonsered 2258 with a 18" bar. Plenty of Saws. It was more like a getogheter than a working day.

Cool the see the saw love coming from romania even tho yall have sticks lol

 

[BlackCoffin]

If you’re going to run a bar that small might as well swap sprockets and turn it into a race day! Now I kind of want to run mine with a 20” bar haha.

 

[r3dpuma]

Yeah. You should try

 

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

That’s so funny!!! Love it good on you mate, do what pleases you!

 

[r3dpuma]

Here`s a clip from the same day. Makita got pinched and Stihl saves the day...

I would get tired jumping from cut to cut. I'm never in that big of a hurry. saw sounds good tho.
