Hi Everyone,
The other thread was getting a little cumbersome, but we're still collecting donations and selling tickets to help my brother. Here's his situation as quoted from the other thread.
I am giving away a very nice Stihl 660 and EdRitchey has donated a brand-new John Deere (Efco) CS62 chainsaw. The first name drawn will have his choice of chainsaws and the second name pulled in the drawing will receive the remaining saw.
If you would like to make donations only, please send these to my PayPal address at:
joel.percival@gmail.com (Make sure you put the dot between "joel" and "percival")
If you send your donation as a "Gift" and do a direct transfer from you bank account, we won't have fees. In the notes, please just put you Arboristsite user name.
If you would like to participate in the Give-Away, tickets are $12 each and contributions can be sent to:
Joel Percival
P.O. Box 1258
Vernal, UT 84078
NOTE: All tickets purchased previously through PP on the old thread are still in the drawing so you are all set. This post applies to those who have not yet entered as of the beginning of this new thread.
Make sure I have your Arboristsite username and an address to send the saw should you be the lucky winner.
There is no time limit for straight donations, but the drawing for the Give-Away will be held on Saturday, September 26. So if you want to participate, please have your ticket requests in the mail to arrive by then. I wouldn't wait later than 9/21 to get them in the mail.
Here are pictures of and a description of the MS660 by Brad Snelling who prepared it for the Give-Away:
I can't include pictures of the John Deere because I'm out of space, but they'll be in my next post

This saw was in good condition when I got it. It just needed some cleaning and TLC. I completely disassembled the entire saw, even splitting the cases and removing the crank and bearings. The crank bearings are tight and smooth with no play at all. The P&C are in perfect condition having never seen a score or any damage at all. I reassembled the saw using Caber rings to make the engine fresh. All seals and gaskets are OEM Stihl. I installed a new rim sprocket and spark plug, cleaned the carb , and cut off the limiter cap tabs. I did not port this saw, but I did polish up the exhaust port a little while cleaning out the carbon. I decarboned the combustion chamber and piston crown. I also opened up the baffle in the muffler and enlarged the factory exhaust exit. The spark arrestor is still intact for those of you needing one. The saw is tuned to 14K in the video and still 4-stroking. It looks to be a strong runner. For all intents an purposes, this is a new saw. It starts and runs great. Everything functions as it should.
The saw is already drained of fuel and oil, and will be shipped directly from my place one a winner is selected.
I can't include pictures of the John Deere because I'm out of space, but they'll be in my next post
