This is Jon's 064 vs Andy's 064 both monkeyed. Andy's chain is a bit dull and it won both times. That saw would have been one of the top saws in the O64/066 buildoff a year ago.

I will post a few pics here of the 290/390 rebuild. If you have been reading this thread you will know we were going to do a short block replacement on a Stihl clamshell saw. Tree Monkey did the overhaul and I took the pictures and ran the stop watch. We had been racing and playin with saws all day and we started the build around 9pm. So here you go, and I am going to start another thread on this build also.
Here is the saw at before the build

Here is the time that Tree Monkey finished this in. I was very impressed, I think he too was a bit surprised at his time. I think he has taken a few saws apart in his day. A big thanks to him for doing this for us, it was fun to watch.

Here is the completed saw along with every tool that he used for the job.

A Master at Work! Wish I could have stayed to watch and learn!
