Ok, Hello Arboristsite. It's been a while since I poked around but thought this story would be interesting. Having recently sold my MS660 as I got a divorce and needed some cash to pay bills - my dad is taking his daily walk down the road. He notices an MS460 air cover laying on the side of the road, no big deal. He walks a bit further on his regular walk - and finds the rest of the saw. The old man lives on the road that goes out to the county landfill. He calls me and I pickup the saw (this was back in the summer, I've just now got around to checking it out)
The saw looked awful. I said what the heck, it might go for parts. A little bit of castrol super clean and a few quarters man, this was a nice saw! The crank bearings/rod bearing were iffy, clutch assmebly was gone, no pull cord cover/clutch cover. All of the carb & plastic are there. Piston & jug are excellent. Tank handle looks spaknking new after the wash. I take it by my local dealer today, he runs the numbers. Was bought by a guy in 2006 so it's not even too old. He's telling me about $300 to split the case, bearings, rings, and reassemble the clutch side. I'm torn on whether to junk it or fix it. I'd really like to fix it and bring her back since she was on the way to the landfill. I'd love to post some pics but haven't acquired another camera as of yet.
edit: big parts I know I"ll need include the flywheel/pull cord assembly, the sprocket cover, and muffler.
Any suggestions? Free stuff/labor? *wink wink* (I'm divorced yo, she took me to the bank!)
