You need a piece of steel pipe for the handle and a Gen-U-Wine Mcculloch starter cord with the wire core, methinks. If you can't find the Mac cord, some light gauge cable should work as well. Maybe you could substitute a rescue saw loop handle instead of the steel pipe, though.I built my 066 back in 07 with some help from members that were active back then, it has all the correct parts to make it a super chip hauler. It`s only problem is breaking even the strongest starter rope and Elasto Start handles.
