God as my witness. I offered the old man double what he was asking i told him what is was worth he said he knew since it was only four months old..
He said he admired my honesty and then threw in the other chains. Then took a business card and said he would be in touch.. Told me how hard it was to find someone willing to work and trying to make it on there own exspecily my age.. cool old guy when he calls ill take really good care of him. He will get it back.

That’s awesome! Always best to do what’s right. And you met a good guy in the mix
Yea still dont feel right but we talked for almost two hours. I couldent convince him to take more. I started to get the feeling that i was pissing him off so i finally droped it and took the deal. Sometimes you get lucky or catch a break. I use a 661 almost every time i cut down a tree. Theres alot of fat assed tree's here in Michigan mainly the silver maples and the cotton woods with a few others thrown in. It will probably end up with Tree monkey working it over we will see how much i like my 460 when i get it back.

Sometimes that’s just how it goes. Someone blessed you and that’s just what he wanted. Tree monkey would make that a demon waiting to be unleashed! Then if you ever want to sell it I’ll be waiting lol.
Yea ima see when i get the 460 back just what these modded saws are all about. I have a feeling i might get hooked o well could have worse habbits.. yea somebody was looking out for me on that deal that's forsure.

Once you mod you won’t go back lol. I have modded 046 and 660 and it’s fun. Once again that’s a heck of a deal
Yes you suck!!
The saw is not good to you as it gets stuck in the wood, you want my address??
Nice find BTW!

Got around to working on a Husky 570 I got from my good friend who scraps things for side money. He found it next to a garbage can one day last year. I fix some of the stuff and we split it up he likes Stihl . Anyway this saw was just packed with saw dust and oil. The filter was never cleaned and saw was low on compression. After cleaning it up it looks to be low use saw. I pulled muffler and cylinder and piston look good. Pressure / vac test good. Pulled the cylinder and the ring is stuck compressed in piston. I got the piston and ring soaking in mix of penetration oil and carb cleaner to try and breakup the carbon. I will get Pics of it tomorrow.
More pics. the piston ring is starting to move had to use a small punch and light tapping to get it started more oil and carb cleaner.

Its not a saw but I had this huge load of oak dropped at the house today by a tree service just looking for somewhere to get rid of it. Ported 590 will get a workout noodleing this stuff up.
