NOS 064

[1Alpha1]

The saw we are discussing endlessly, is a very nice saw.

But, it has no legitimacy. It was built by an individual, has no serial number (and we all know by now, how important that is), and doesn't have a history, such as a legit build date or production lot code.

I suppose that Brad can stamp a serial # on his own, but how will he come about that number? Make one up? It won't mean anything to anyone knowing of how it came to be.

It is what it is. It was put together by parts, gathered here and there over time. It is a bastard saw, but a very nice bastard saw.

I see what you did there! A fat joke about our wonderful STIHLS, nice.

Of course it's OK with plastic tags. But, that's not what I want. The 064 was NEVER sold with plastic tags. I want the saw to be as original as possible. It matters not what XSkier or anyone else thinks. To insist that this saw should have plastic tags is like insisting a model T should have modern tires on it. You don't even make logical sense. Move along now.

Im not going to try to insult you or the saw to make myself feel better.

Ok, I agree about not insulting the saw (even if it is a Stihl)... but you ought to know by now Brad is fair game!

You can pick on me, but you leave my saw alone

That reminds me of the movie Blast From The Past. Leave my elevator alone.

Just for the record.........I never did have any issue with the tags.

Alright everyone don't cause a riot or anything. The line starts behind me. I get to take the first jab.

 

[mdavlee]

?? all the arguing over the saw? It's a super nice specimen and the owner is happy.

 

[bigbadbob]

Nice find.
I have a 064 Arctic at my cabin, in decent condition I will check the tag when I go.
If its pristine/very good I will let you know.

[blsnelling]

That's mighty generous of you BBB.

 

[mdavlee]

I have a metal tag on mine but it's not pristine by no means. I'll mess with it a little and see if it can be cleaned up.

[blsnelling]

Every part on this saw is NOS, except the flywheel and one or two other parts he mentioned.

What a piece of crap! Lol

These guys crack me up! Ha!

 

[1Alpha1]

Just for the record, I am not a hater nor am I jealous.

My whole mission on this forum is to set and keep the record straight.

 

[blsnelling]

My mission is to have the nicest 064 I've ever seen. And, I'm setting the record straight that it WILL have METAL tagsopcorn:

Mission Accomplished Brad.

 

[tacomatrd98]

As the guy who built the saw I take offense to it being called a "Bastard" lol

We can all agree to disagree on the tags but I'm with Brad on this one, They were never sold originally with plastic tags so it should have metal ones. If I could have found them, they would already be on there.

I don't claim to be the best mechanic in the world, far from it actually but I will assure there was much care taken in the assembly of this saw. Much more so I would think than any assembly line worker would have.

She will be missed. However, that little Jred is making the Stihls nervous...It's a freakin hoot to run.

Yo Brad, my 064 I picked up here is a older "Survivor" model with a little more wear (but stihl plenty clean) what bar do you think looks best on these Stihls? Im not interested in a Stihl bar so..... That size saw I usually run 24''. Im thinking I want to put a Cannon Super Bar on it, but maybe I should consider something like a Sugi-light etc to compliment the 064s power to weight ratio?
