FistfulOfStihl
ArboristSite Lurker
Hey guys, it's my first time posting to this site. I've been lurking for a long time and have been trying to find the right saw for my needs. I'll mostly be milling salvaged logs to support my woodworking hobby. This weekend I was at an estate sale and saw this old dirty stihl in a pile of junk. It happened to be an 066 magnum that needs some love. I noticed it was missing some parts and the piston looked kinda rough. I ended up walking out of there with the saw for only 25$.
I'm completely new to milling and using chainsaws in general. I have some experience restoring vintage woodworking machines and have done a few (Delta Unisaws, DeWalt RAS, Powermatic shaper etc.). I'm hoping through some of the great advice you guys give on this forum, and a little tinkering I can make this project saw run again.
I plan to post pictures throughout the process and hopefully can get advice when needed.
Here she is.
