Stihl MS460 build

[MichMich]

Hi Folks,

I'm in the process of rebuilding my MS460. Originally bought it as a Farmertec 466 repair kit, and then started to put a few OEM parts in it.

I'm now switching to full OEM specs, with a mix of new (the less expensive parts) and used parts (the more expensive ones, like the crankshaft. P+C kit is also a new one, bought on eBay off an Australian seller). I previously bought a screw kit off eBay, but the crankshaft seals seems to be too small (order 2 OEM kits anyway), and build has started pretty well, here are the pics!

Tank assy is already builded from when it was on the Farmertec kit, with the original FT carb.

I received a crankshaft from a German retailer, but dunno if I'm going to install it...

Here are a few pics!

Ok, very little work on the 460 for today. Oiler, AV rubbers, brake parts and covers have been installed, tank assembly is now 99% OEM, last Chinese part is the carb, which was doing t's job pretty fine.

What do I wait now? Well, 2-3 weeks, the time needed to get the OEM used crankshafts (together with the used OEM 461 crankcase. That one is a bit damaged, but swaping it with a brand new one was already in project).
In a first time, I will use the Farmertec P&C kit (an OEM one is on it's way to me from Australia, and it may take a long time to reach me, I'm waiting on an OEM recoil starter assembly since May 1st... And I'm now down to just my MS461, the Farmertec 460 having been sold today, pretty much simultaneously with the 381.
In the end, I'll own two MS461s and 1 MS460, the second 461 being fitted with a Meteor P&C, the time to find an OEM kit on the bay (or if anybody here has a new kit he's willing to sell)

Not much work on the 460...

Few more pics.

Can't close the case yet, I don't have the right gasket... Think it's a 461 one

What price should I put on this one?

Cases assembled, and tank assembly installed. The Cylinder is the Farmertec one, while waiting on the OEM

Here is a bunch of new pics. I'm still waiting on the last OEM parts of this build, the Piston + Cylinder and the Recoil Starter. They are somewhere between the US now and me... Very strange, for a package from Australia...

My MS461-Z also changed a bit. Evolved to dual pikes now. MS460 now has a 100% new clutch cover.
