Sold 394xp

[MillwrightChris]

394xp. I recently purchased this saw from Roger Collins, I believe it to be all original. It has no known defects, damage or issues. Runs and functions as it should and appears to have seen very little use (less than 10 hours according to roger). Decal on recoil is torn, I have a replacement that will come with the saw but it's for a 395xp. Have new 24" and 32" bars available.
Only looking for a Stihl 066 or MS660 in pristine original condition.

Hey Chris I have a 044 that has the 12mm piston pin I'm in the process of complete rebuild new bearings seals piston and rings good looking plastic and paint in good shape 20" bar no compression release what do you think?

 

[MillwrightChris]

I hate to sound like a saw snob and I'm not knocking anyone's work. But I'm not interested in anything that is not 100% factory original and never been apart. Seen and purchased too many other peoples "mistakes".
But thanks for the offer.

Good luck

 

[MillwrightChris]

Do you have a cash number in mind?

Now that was funny right there.

Good luck Chris on the hunt.

Really don't understand this either. 394 is worlds more saw than the 066/ms660. I have two 394s and an 066 in the shop right now...

With the lineup at the bottom of his signature, I can only imagine the puddles of tears his other saws leak, out of fear, and jealousy........LOL!

MillwrightChris's name might mean he wants a saw for milling. It is a well known fact that 394's don't have the torque or oiler for milling

I wish I had the appropriate Stihl bc I would trade it faster than a crippled mule.

I always thought of a "Millwright" as a guy who can build what he designs, and do so in the most efficient manner possible.

All Engineers drive trains though.

 

[MillwrightChris]

I've owned dozens of each brand over the years. (Stihl, Jonsered, Husqvarna, Dolmar and Olympyk) I just prefer the Stihl 440/460/660.

Correct.
Millwrights install and repair all types of industrial equipment in factories, manufacturing plants and power generation.

Not everyone is what they claim to be.
It's a dying art, that's for sure. I had a keen interest in machinery, a good mechanical aptitude, and an eagerness to learn. I was very fortunate early on in my career to have some very knowledgeable "old timers" some with 60+ years in the trade, take me under their wings and show me the ropes. These were the guys that the engineers consulted with if the had any hopes of their project actually working correctly. I'd say out of the 600 plus tradesman I've worked with over the years only a very small percentage earned the tile of millwright.
Today a few of the best journeymen out there served as my apprentices.

I've worked with millwrights on draw bridges, after we install the motors, reducers and the brakes, they get them all perfect.

And I've worked with plenty of Iron workers. On new turbine construction they handle all the power rigging.
