Want to Sell Stihl MS660 w/ 28" Bar on CL (Not Mine)

[Cramer4918]

Hello Everyone! While cruising CL today, I came across this MS660 for sale in Florida. Not sure if the guy is willing to ship, but thought someone may be interested.

Not sure if I am allowed to post this, someone let me know if not please. Thank you!

not a real Stihl , looks like farmer tech worth half what he is wanting

 

[Cramer4918]

Oh! I did not realize that. Can you tell me how to spot this?

The price... too good to be true kinda thing. Plus the lack of Stihl badging on the saw itself.

ya i should say stihl on the clutch cover and the recoil starter cover.
and he says "new" even tho its a 660....a NIB 660 would be at least 900

also notice how he didnt take any close ups?

 

[Derrick Sawyer]

Yeah you can see a lot of parts that aren't authentic Stihl, i always look for the sticker/tag on the handle that should tell you the model and CC and date of manuf and other emission stuff, that isn't there. I can the aftermarket "jungle" muffler cover

 

[Jacklefty]

And dont forge all of the silver hardware...

This is what the real STIHL MS660 looks like.

Dude you must be retired marine, those saws way clean, I don't clean my saws unless they are to be sold, and i haven't made my bed in decades either.....real beauties there. As a purist, my only suggestion is to buy OEM dual port muffler covers to replace the rusty on the 460 especially.

That looks cool but i think yours might be better with the version that looks like an over/under shotgun coming out the side, 12g might be too much (not for looks but for best performance and noise) but maybe 20 guage. I've seen one but can't find a pic

Lot of Bling in the muffler. Be interesting to see a review with some before after cuts.

Thanks for all the info everyone. I guess this can be turned into an educational thread.

I'm still debating on it, it'll probably change color. I'm gonna have a MS660 ported by MMWS, he said this muffler cover would be fine and looks good. But he modifies the stock one, so I might just stick with that and save $60.

dumb question, if you wanted to buy a farmertech 066, a new one someone had already assembled, what would a saw like that be worth?????

Less than this one costs, plus you get a 1 yr warranty with this one.

I've considered putting one of these saws together. Thing is, I don't care if I make money on it, but I would like to break even. I just want to do it just for the knowledge I feel I'd gain from the construction. If I bought one of the kits and assembled it. It looks like the kit is about 140 plus shipping, what are the odds for me being able to turn around and just sell the thing on here for what I have in it???? Assuming I put it together and don't screw it up of course, which is always a danger when embarking in uncharted waters?

I'd watch lots of youtube videos on the 660 kit saws and start from there. But those G660's are selling pretty good and the kits come blue now, so peeps can't resell them as a STIHL.

Its sad that people are trying rip folks off like that. Typical though. I've been tinkering with a lot of older saws... I have some of the 82 cc homelite family, and a couple mac 10=10s... but I've never messed with a stihl. I have an ms 362 but I haven't used it enough to even do maintenance on it ... I guess I just prefer tinkering with my old junk ha ha ...

Thats what id did. I didnt sell mine and got a 250 kit. Building a huztl is what got me in to repairing. Most saws are similar just some specific things from one brand to another. Confident now to look at any saw with a good idea what the issue it.
