If he drove down now would be a good time to load him up with large two-man saws...
you mean you don't think they will let him bring it on the plane as a carry on? :hmm3grin2orange:

it was only $85. i should have pursued it, but i didn't feel like a 6 hr drive (and it was a re-list).

And the moron listed it as a Sthil 510, lol. He didn't even spell Stihl right. That saw should have gone for >$100. The top handle S10 is the rarest of the family.
A quick glance through the Orlando Craigslist didn't show anything promising
That's how I get my cheap saws - people who can't spell Stihl. You get Still Saws, Sthil saws, Stil saws, everything. I got my 020t for I think $140, runs like a dream. Got my 020 rear handler for $70, just needed a carb rebuild kit and again it goes great.
There is a website called fatfingers.com that will do the searching for you...

Thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for the 066/660 style that doesn't have the built in heat guard.
Yeah, and you dogs got the biggest snow of the year since I've been gone:greenchainsaw: I love snow! Maybe we'll get another big one Saturday.

you can get the metal 066 name plate from your Stihl dealer for a whopping $3 and change........ yes, I just got one about 2 weeks agoe.
Ihave some genuine midwest logging pants ya want them? how about so worn out gloves to.:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:Right on. A saw is just a saw. But a gen-u-wine PNW tin hat....? That's an item to be proud of.
I thought I had ordered them before and the plastic one showed up.

Well as far as I know there both available. I had the option to get either one and needed the metal one for the older saw, ordered it and that's what arrived.
Its brand new but its aftermarket...............

I sell alot of stuff on ebay myself , and i try to be as honest as i can, but hey we all make mistakes , but that seller probly new what he was dong, so what i would do if i was you , would be if payed by paypal , i would file a dispute " item not as described " and explain it thier.
Also take pictures of the saw , and copy the listing and summit them directly to paypal for more evadance.
If you call paypal , they will give you a link to thier email and ftp for pictures , for that case.
As you should not have been burnt.
In most cases shipping is not refundable , but if its truly a burn , paypal may even refund your shipping , but you would have to send saw back to seller , and make sure u get a tracking number to do so.
Not sure if that helps or not.

Auction Link. The seller was deedawndee-2008 from Onalaska, WA.
I bought an old style 066 flat top on ebay last week for the purpose of installing the Wiseco piston in it for testing. The title of the auction was "NICE STIHL 066 MAGNUM chainsaw....strong runner". The description was "auction is for one STHIL 066 magnum, starts easy and runs excellent. New seals, bearings, and rings. Full wrap handle bars, lots of power. ( Auction is for powerhead only.) This is an as is sale... But i gaurantee it to run good,and start and idle good. Don't let this one get away! If you use buy it now option i'll ship for free and throw in a collectors 6 point tin hat. Thanks". The only picture shown, was of a saw that looked to be clean and in good condition, matching the title and description.
I received the saw today. It is absolutely filthy and in very poor condition. The recoil housing and front of the case had been shot with a quick coat of white paint. This saw hasn't been apart in years, if ever. No parts have been replaced. The saw is too filthy to have had any internal work done on it anytime remotely recently. The plastic cage on the flywheel side crank bearing was broken. The rings are extremely worn with end gaps of .022" and .020". The piston is way out of tollerance with .015" of cleanance. The case of the saw has a chunk broken out of the front of it. The clutch cover has two chunks out of it. The air filter cover is not the one shown in the auction and has 6 ugly holes in it. The air filter is totally clogged and is crushed. The oil pump is inoperable because the drive spring is broken off and will not engage the clutch drum. The upper AV mount is busted. The engine shroud is cracked. Several of the bolts are not the correct ones. The spikes do not match. There is no chain catcher on the saw. The oil tank was full of what appeared to be used motor oil.
I've sent an email to the seller asking if he will refund me $100. There's a lot more than that wrong with it, and I'll have a lot of time in it, but the saw is rebuildable otherwise. It'd be way different if I couldn't do the work myself.
Some dealers that aren't skookum about using the online "Partsmart" system (or Mediacat in some cases) will punch in the old number and get the new superseded part number. Then they order using the new part # and you end up with the newer part.
Knowledgeable dealers will push the old part number through specifying that they want the old part and they'll get the old part.
It all comes down to how well your dealer knows the system...

i took my own part # to the dealer from my ipl and i received the plastic one.
i am guessing that the 066 ipl lists the new number?
i don't know if mine is right or wrong but it looks good on the saw.

The distributors sometimes take it upon themselves to send you the latest part available, even if it isn't what you want. They think they're doing you a good service that way.
I had to call Stihl Northwest one time and convince them that I really did want the old-school 084 rings which are 60mm x 1.5mm, not the modern rings that are 60mm x 1.2mm. They couldn't believe it.
And eBay's greedy enough to keep letting him open accounts with the same
IP, evidentally. I wonder what he'll think when I tell him a link to the
pictures will be in my feedback, should it come to that?
I still don't think I'll be upside down in it, or at least not too badly. Good
deals on 066/660s aren't so easy to come by it seems.
I just got started into this thread and that's what I was thinking eBay should
be able to block this guy through his IP address but they probably won't. My
wife has been selling on eBay for over 10 years and it's scum like this guy
that can ruin it for someone just wanting to get something like it's described.
My wife has over 3400 positives and only 2 negatives from couple jerks, one
that never paid way back 6 or 7 years ago and one that burned up something
with a European voltage adapter. Hang in there there are still good decent
sellers on eBay that are honest about their wares.
