Well, the mystery has been solved. Both the original owner and porter were members here at one time. The porter was Ricky Hennessee. The man does some beautiful work

Yep, Ricky is one of the best in the game. He's the one that built 031's that would turn 19-20k.
Don't know. He was into saw racing back in the day. I guess he didn't build many saws for others, so this is quite a rare saw in that reguards.
Sweet. I've heard you talk about those.

Doesnt the HD5 have a smaller venturi than the HD16/17? I figured it would, as it's meant for the 029 series.
That would be something worth checking out.
He posted here as "066 Stihl." He also put an 056 Mag II cylinder and piston on an 066 with a pipe once.

Ya ricky is a great guy and knows his stuff about porting and saw racing. He quit racing and porting saws a few years ago when his tennis elbow started bugging him. He now owns a saw shop and logs full time. His latest project is porting and hopping up an old cummins to put in a Peterbilt log truck. He is a good friend of mine and I talk to him fairly frequently.
Wow this has been a great thread, and the mastery has been solved.
Brad called me all excited, I tried to play it off with, you know that was a saw I built, sadly Brad knows me too well to believe that lol.

To put a happy ending to this thread, this saw will be used for clearing right of ways after storms and cutting trees on lots for Habbitat for Humanity. The owner is a storm chaser, with 35 years experience, helping those that have the misfotune of experience the misfortunes of Mother Nature. I had experience of working immediately after a tornado went through the suburbs of Cincinnati a few years ago. That's very rewarding work, almost emotional. Very cool!

Ricky takes alot of pride in his work as well has his Father Kenneth real good people I've meet both.
Ricky put a 272 motor in a 50 husky ,crank and all... hes a real good machinist to say the least... the saw still competes in the south.
Decking the case is nothing new though, sometimes necessary to change crank case volume.
