I had other bearings that I used instead. If check your Stihl dealee for one. My second one fit, just tight.

I put the drum on first and its a little easier to slide the bearing into the drum.
Mine is definitely the drum(or crankshaft), I had oem bearings too. Got an Oregon drum otw, hopefully it's the drum and not the crankshaft bc I have the saw mostly together
 
Just to confirm the HO oil pump is part # 1122 640 3201? I am trying to find one on ebay and having not much luck. I will keep poking around. Lots of 1125 and or 3205 models.
 
Flywheel torque - just confirming this...I watched a video where the guy said 20ft-lbs,
looks like it should be 33.

Does everyone use a rope (starter cord)? I'm reading some ppl say not to? what else would I use?

Newton-meters Foot-pounds
45 Nm 33.19 ft-lb

Rope might be better. You can keep it out of the ports/transfers easier. They make a thing for that. I would not use metal.

Thats how I do it just make sure that the piston is up covering the ports and feed the rope in through the spark plug hole it's has some kush to it so its the safer way of doing it.
 
40 years ago Father paid more for the 041 Farmboss than what I have in Oddjob.
You built odd job, so that's a big difference. I put my saw together with care, I did not just throw it together and adjust the carb and run it. I put a lot of thought in it so it has a chance to last 40 years. These things can last a long time

That will be awesome if I can get a long time out of it. I am not getting talked out of this saw. Lol

Bedford T you seed you tried a hyway on your ms660 right did you check the squish on it just curious ?
No. It had quite a bite of compression. The guy that got it is using it in a tree service. I put cabers in it. Used it straight up. I wish I had gone with a hyway on this one rather than the troubled cross. Won't make that mistake again. When I wear this top out I will look at it again.

Have you got your hands on yours yet?

So other than like 12 cuts on your videos, we don't know how your saws held up?
I was talking like 40 years. None have died. The one I have now almost. I spent about a month trying to figure out why I could not pull it. It was that crap cross cylinder. This new one maybe has an hour on it. If I had not caught it it would have melted down on the third tank from what happened to others.

Glad Im going with the Hyway but even that I will be doing some work to it
 
Kit builders I just read something on sprockets and saw setup. if you have never read this article you should. It addressed bar sizes and I had never seen an article that gave me a "scientific" way to judge what is appropriate for the size saw. Stuff like clutch wear, etc. And understanding this would be helpful to us. I wish they had a store in the SE US. They would likely starve here, but it would be cool to have access.
