what am i think'n?

[da new feller]

i should be wear'n a name tag that says "please be patient, i'm new". but i don't think i've advanced that far yet. i've been looking around this whole site and i think maybe i've seen 2 or 3 brief posts about the 064. is this some kinda bastard reject saw that everyone besides me identifies and runs for their life to get away from them? am i wasting my time and energy with this thing? i see 044 then jumps to 066. i'm inviting someone to slap me around a little and let me in on what part of this i'm not getting. (unless of course your idea of a saw is poulon/craftsman/jonersdead/homelite, etc. . i think, i hope you see where i'm going with this, you got your own issues to iron out). i mean my 28, 290, 31av, 34av scream and would leave my ole lady before i gave up even 1 of them. i guess when i picked it up i thought it wood kinda be like my big block Z-28, no replacement for displacement. i think i'd feel the same about my camaro as i'm starting to think about that 64 if i popped open the hood 1 day and found a ford or mopar engine bolted to my frame.
:jawdrop: :jawdrop: (it's miss'n the vomit...lol)

I'm not sure if I quite understand what your wondering about. Are you asking if you bought a reject because you don't see much info on the 064?

The 064 to the 066...

...is what the new 650 is to the 660.

The only other thing to add to gary's analogy is the current ms650 is/was a marketing flop imo and its not a hot seller. The 064 is an older model, but it was very popular in its day.

Sorry my friend, but not quite right - the 064 was notisably lighter than the 066 - that is not the case with the 650 vs the 660......:greenchainsaw:

I have an 064 but I gotta replace the crank bearings. It is lighter than the 066 feels a little nimbeler has a much narrower feel. It was the precursor to the 066 if I have my history right. The 046/460 and the 066/660 kinda displaced it with power and weight differance. 046 almost as much power but lighter 066 more power but not that much heavier. With the 066 I have been draggin my feet on the 064 bearing replacement Ill get it done tho.

Well when weight is the only factor one worries about...

the 064 did not displace as much as the 066... juts like the 650 and the 660.

I would take an 046/460 over an 064/650 anyday too Brian.
