Stihl 064 Rebuild and Restoration!

[big t double]

Wow the hostility! You mean something like this?

Oh sh!t...called me right out!!!! Hahaha I will quietly watch from the corner for the remainder of your build

Damn I like the way to grown men have a battle over each others threads !

And I thought watching 2 women fight was fun this is better !

only kidding

its the battle of the find to get the parts you need from all the places you can gather them from

im hoping we can do a video with dans stock saw and compare it to mine Masterminded 064 Beast !

now that will bring out the Chests a little bit !

yea Dan definitely kicked my arse in the battle to find the good parts that's for sure. Something about those metal tags...I think they make the saw cut faster

So Is it running yet?[/QUOTE]


No its not running yet! Ill have the thread caught up to where im at by tomorrow evening. Im taking my time on this build so I do everything right the first time. My saw has a date with Mastermind on August 25th so I have time. Ill get it all together and run a couple tanks through it racing Mike and hopefully I can get a nice log to my house so I can do some timed cuts before and after it gets ported!

While I was amassing my stash of OEM parts. Mike was busy getting my parts ready for powder.

I've always had a soft spot for good strippers!

How did Mike get those parts down to pure mag like that, chemical stripper or sand - glass bead blasting?

 

[glock37]

Bead blasting then in the ultra sonic cleaner tank

I dont think it would be wise to not paint or powdered , bare the metal feels flimsy

When powdered they feel more rigid

I'm here now.

I agree, it corrodes too quickly if left wet. Great job on the parts, they look like they were just cast.

Mike, isn't there a clear powder option? Just thinking out loud.

What sonic tank do you have?

 

[PA Dan]

Here is my pile of parts waiting to be installed!

Found this in a shop in Virginia! Had a little help with it! Thanks Mike! Sorry big t!

 

[PA Dan]

One day last week Mike called and said parts are done! I met him at the shop and picked up my parts!

Man what a beautiful saw! I bought one from a member here and it was shipped directly to Randy. Here is what you have to look forward to:

 

[PA Dan]

Thanks Steven! Ya I know what to expect I have run Mikes and its a beast!

 

[PA Dan]

Here's the recoil with the Elastostart and my Made in West Germany tag that I pirated from a new old stock 026 recoil I bought on ebay. It still had the plastic on it!

That fresh PC is sweet looking!

That fresh PC is sweet looking!

Yours will be there Monday !

I wanna see the smile you have unwrapping those parts

it will be like the first time in the back seat of your daddys car !

Mike, isn't there a clear powder option? Just thinking out loud.

What sonic tank do you have?

yes there s a clear powder just never tried it on parts usually you base coat fire for 5 then clear coat then refire for 10 to cure the base with the clear so they bond together

I cleaned that cyl , crank with piston still on then took apart and oil the hell out of it still hot up in the HF US with mean green it does a great job

I got a bigger one now !

 

[PA Dan]

Oil pump in and ready to get heated up and bearings. Working 12's right now so maybe one evening this week or will have to wait till next weekend.

We can't wait that long! Nice work on the saw!!!

 

[PA Dan]

I know right! Maybe tomorrow?

Sweet thread! Makes me want to do the same to my ragged-looking 088.
