Could you post some pics? Of how to mod the muffler, that is? An 066 will outcut a Husqvarna 371XP won't it?

Nope, she's gone. I need to make a few more go away. lol
I really wish you the best the first time you have that in the woods all day.
I'm about your size and build and the first time I used it non stop in the woods for a weekend, I wanted to sell it. After i did, i missed it, alot.
I'd get a shorter bar if you plan to use it all the time, use the 36 only when you need it.
It's a great saw that will last a long time if it is taken care of.

Oh yeah, definately a muffler mod. Search for muffler mod 066 and I did a write up on one.

Ya, i did a search on muffler mods. So, you can buy a daul port muffler from Stihl? It looks like it was pretty eas to mod the single port, so, i think i'll just do that for now. I'm also thinkin about a 24"-25" bar. What is a good bar company? Is there one that stands out above the rest?

I like Total bars (made by Tsumara) They last a long time and have a good tip on them. The oregon bars seem to wear really bad and have horrible tips IMO.
Windsor Sandvik, and GB Titanium bars are great too.
As long as it isn't oregon, it is ok in my book. lol

Thanks Fstang! I look into those brands! So, what kind of mustangs do you have? You have any older (67-70) mustangs?
