ms 660

[luke_w]

is $349 bucks a good deal for a ms 660. i looked it over and it needs a new chain tensioner and new chain break handle ( its cracked down the center). but it fires up and runs good. i told the guy i would think about it.

If it's in good condition otherwise, I'd say yes.

If the pistons not scored it sounds like a smoking deal.

That's a great deal...Go get it.

 

[luke_w]

thank you all for the advice....picking it up tommarrow ...will have a peek at the piston before i seal the deal. thanks

It's a good deal if nothing is broken even if it needs a piston.

Hmm, quite the conundrum...


I would buy it if the rest of it's in good shape.

Like I need another saw, but would jump pretty high in ok condition!

Not really. He says it runs good. Even if the piston is scored or the compression is down a little you can put a $39 piston in it, find a used chain brake handle and tensioner on eBay, and sell it on eBay for $600. It is not a very hard job and plenty of previous posts and help here on how to do it.

I sold a clean MS 660 that needed a cylinder kit because the spark plug hole was ruined for $700. I did put an OEM cylinder kit on it but if I was going to keep it I probably would have just used one of the $100 aftermarket kits. I have rebuilt a few using those and fail to see any difference in operation.

If you take your time you can find a real nice 660 for around $500.00 and all you have to do is use it.

It was a joke..

Sounds to be a good deal, almost too good!

Be careful and look it over closely. If it just needs some new plastic here and there it's a great deal. If it needs some mechanical work also, or if the jug is scored, tell him 200 bucks or keep it.

sorry i havent even had a chance to go and haggle with the guy yet....all 3 days this week weve had fires right at quitting time but i got high hopes for tommarrow! knock on wood

 

[StihlyinEly]

IF the only two things wrong with it are what you mentioned in your initial post, don't haggle with the guy. Hand him the money, take the saw and run like the wind before he changes his mind.

 

[luke_w]

meeting him tomm. i will run like the wind

 

[Evan]

dude even if it doesnt run thats a good deal
