I'm still waiting for parts to get the 066 going again (forgot to order the compression release plug when I ordered the big bore kit) so I'm thinking more and more that I would like to have a spare saw that I can mill with and when both are working, one saw that can be dedicated to bucking with a different chain.
My favorite options are:
Another 066 - I like the one I have, parts are easy to get and the spare parts and repair experience I'm accumulating would interchange. Plus, if I ever need to mill something really huge, I could get a double ended bar and run both 066's which sounds like fun to me.
090 - Seams like the ultimate saw for milling but they are hard to find although spare parts are easy to find.
070 - Next best cheaper alternative that I could turn into a 090 if I ever had to rebuild it.
Anyway I posted a wanted add for one of these saws and someone replied that he had a 075 with no bar and he would like $300 for it. Does anyone have any thoughts on the 075 for milling? Is it an upgrade over a 066? Is the price right? Are the parts easy/cheap enough to get?
And finally, does anyone have one of the saws I've mentioned that they would like to part with?
Tanks for the input
