Testing A Raisman Platt Crankshaft In An MS660

[young]

I remember that.......but the coil used for the testing was a 1300 coil and it is different than a 460 or a 461 coil.....

fyi

460 and 660 use the exact same unlimited coil with advance timing.

WELL, how did this turn out? Think it was a good crank? Still waiting for the cows to come in after some milling?

Time will tell................... :msp_biggrin:

It flew apart, killing a few livestock :cool2:

As long as that Canadian cow is ok ??

so what you're saying is what it cost to fix the saw, it made up in hamburger? sounds like a pretty sweet deal:jester:
mmmmmmmm gawd i'd love a big cheese burger right now.:msp_wub:

Here's a little beef trivia for you, coming from an ex-cattle farmer or rancher in North American speak.

When it's time for our old bulls to lose their heads, the beef is exported to the US and used to mix into hamburger meat to give it a deeper red colour.
Reason being all our bulls are range grazed/grass fed, your cattle is for the most part feedlot/grain and particularly corn fed and so don't have near as deep a colour. (Whilst we have big feedlots, for the most part they are only used in the final six weeks of fattening before slaughter)

Strange but true fact.

So he's already a steer or are we planning on making him one ? (haven't done any marking for years but it'd all come back with a little practice )

If the former, he'd be a bullock by now, eh ?

Just letting you know it's home Randy time to try to break it :msp_biggrin:

 

[Mad Professor]

well now you need some big fat long logs, no pecker poles, and a proper workout.

let us know?

P.S. pine/fir/spruce does not count.

we don't have pine where i'm at ,smallest bar it will see is a 32 inch ,will mostly be cutting doug fir and cedar

How's it holding up? May need one myself, pick up a basket case with a blown rod bearing.

 

[Trx250r180]

Almost 2 years later ,still not broked yet

Out of curiosity, was this cylinder kit purchased from a sponsor? I can take the actual answer through PM if necessary. Nice milling!

Was an aftermarket crank only ,cylinder and piston are oem ,Randy ported it while he had the saw .Saw is used exclusively for milling .

gotcha. Any idea if they make cranks for other Stihl saws in the aftermarket. Just wondering...

I have used Raisman Platt Piston and piston & cylinder kits both bought from Unknown people In the 288 variety and have not had any issues I used both saws for 10 tanks or so ? 40:1 ish Seems to be fine. I have been wondering about this very thread for this very reason and good news, . Any idea on how much time is on the saw since rebuild, time tanks etc?

 

[rattler362]

I like your milling setup this is something I am going do

A few more pics.........The exhaust was just cleaned up a little and port matched to the muffler.









Jon stinking up the place with an ol' nasty Husky. :msp_angry:

I need that 3/4 wrap bar hanging above Jon for my 660.
