LMAO... I finally hobbled over to Wood's Logging Supply yesterday in Sedro-Wooley... they had a bunch of 066/660 DP covers on the shelf. So I picked one up for him.
They had this snazzy 041 Super with low miles on it for a song... So I picked it up too...

That looks like a pretty good deal there. I've always liked going to Woods' shop. Too bad their hotsaw guy left...

They had a ton of beat up used fallin' saws... (044 046 066) None that I wanted to "resurrect"...
So the guy plops this 041 Super with a 20" bar on it on the counter. Said a guy traded it in for a new Stihl because he couldbn't keep the muffler bolts from coming loose.
I said... "I'll take it... " It runs like a raped ape...
I haven't been to the big shop down in Longview. I think that's the main cable yard for Wood's. Too bad the shop in Morton closed down a few years ago.

HAHA! No kiddin'. In all the years I've been finding old saws... it never ceases to amaze me at how cats will "fix" stuff...
On another note... I drug the 797 off the shelf yesterday, and fired it up. Let one of my buddies slice through a 35" Doug Fir log with it a few times... He ain't an "old saw collector guy"... But I think he might be now.

The Longview shop is much bigger they have riggen hydraulics and truck accesories. In Longview they are a Husky shop and sedros a Stihl shop. Cowlitz river rigging is about 4 blocks away from Woods and they carry the Stihls down there. Cowlitz is also an impressive shop for what they stock.They had a ton of beat up used fallin' saws...

I'm sure at the time it all makes sense. If the service truck has a welder and no thread lock and you have a job to do...well, you can almost imagine how it would happen.
I know one time I went to the gas station to fill up a bunch of gas cans, the plastic blitz ones. They start filling one of them and call me over to see the little stream of gas squirting out the side. Turned out a pitchfork had poked a neat little hole. Trouble was I knew I needed every bit of gas I could haul with the seven cans I had with me. It was also a new can. So I open up the tool box of tricks and start looking at what I might have. Ta-Da! A Stainless sheet metal screw and a foam ear plug later and that can was good to go again. It worked so well that we used that can till it was faded pink and the bottom wore through. My guys (smart alec's that they are) cut the "fix" out and gave it to me before tossing the can, it's in the shop somewhere now. LOL

Is Stihl going to stop manufacturing those muffler covers?
That old Stihl looks pretty good...Nice find
I spent a winter in Concrete and always liked dealing with woods in Sedro Wooley...It is too bad about the one in Morton

Cody, From what I gather... the ones made for the 046 might have already been discontinued. Wood's must have had about 6 or 7 on the shelf for the 066.
They also make their own...

I don't understand what happened in Morton. It closed about a year after I moved back. It was a shock the way the place was run. You'd go in on a Saturday, when it was supposed to be open, and it would be closed. This also was going on during the week. This meant you had to go on into Chehalis or Longview. I started just going on into Chehalis. I wanted to patronize a business that was open when it said it would be open.
I realize that the logging shutdown/slowdown in the area was hard, but to not be open for customers really was the final blow.
I bought my first chainsaw from the Morton shop in the 1980s and it was a good place, although a bit intimidating for girls to venture into. Oh, I also could find rubber calks there too. In the right size.
Morton is a bit depressing, except the movie theater is going and they have drawings for free popcorn before the movie. They also give a lecture on turning off cell phones.
But there are lots of empty storefronts too.

Morton sure ain't what it used to be I agree... we always would stop at Wood's Logging back in the 80's and 90's when we were up there fishing Riffe Lake.
The fishing is still good... but alas not mush else still is...

I didn'task... but I've seen them let them go for 200 bucks. But... they are basket cases... you'll put that much or more in them, just to get them in runnin' condition.
