It's funny sometimes how things happen. Two years ago, a new-to-the-farm neighbor bought a brand new MS661C. What a beautiful saw. He cut down two trees, and decided that he hated sawing wood, and put it away in his garage. I have tried for two years to buy that saw, but he always resisted.
Last week, I finally bought a MS661CR. It was built in May 2016 and was never sold retail, but was placed by Stihl with a logging company for a two month data recording test, then pulled back in for data extraction. Then, it was sold off as a used saw. It is in excellent condition with only a couple months of use.
Five days after I bought it, my neighbor decided to sell his saw. I couldn’t help it, I had to buy it too. There isn’t a scratch or scrape on it. The only sign that it has ever been started is a slight discoloration of the paint near the muffler exhaust. Other than that, it looks like it just came out of the box.
I can’t keep both, so what to do? After much thought, I have decided to keep the 2-year old saw and sell the newer one.
So, I’m selling the MS661CR. It has the ¾ wrap handle and west coast clutch cover. Also has the oversize felling dogs and roller chain catcher. Compression checks at 165# on my gauge. It starts very easy (usually on the second pull) and runs perfectly with a very smooth idle.The piston is in beautiful condition.
I’m asking $900 for the PHO. I will split the cost of shipping with anyone in the CONUS.
