Awesome deal on a an 066 Stihl

[fryeguy2]

Just found this saw for sale on craigslist today. Wish I had the cash on hand, it would probably be in my truck right now. But since I can't get it I figured id pass it on to someone else after all the help ive gotten on this site.

Heres the link.

Looks like it is in Foresthill, used to have family living there, lots of big oaks and madrones to cut. I would have sent them scampering over there to get it. Oh well.

Sounds like a sweet deal

That should not last long....

New jug and piston AND mild exhaust and intake porting......

Modded saw for 375? Must be something up.

I emailed the ad and it kicked back as undeliverable.

Do you think a modified saw commands a higher price?
I'd pay more for an un-altered saw, mods hurt the resale value because you don't know what idiot did the work. The other thing that happens, is the top end goes on a saw and that's when the mods usually get done, so the saw is pretty well used up.
I doubt the guy tore into a good saw, did a professional mod, and then put it up for sale for $375.

This is my point..... An old beat used 066, with a new top end and it is modded. It is either a ????e mod job or the saw is close tobeing junk.

And yes I do believe a modded saw commands a higher price if it is by a repuatable builder and the saw was/is in VERY nice shape BEFORE the mod work was done.

Not gonna get much more than that. They are a dime a dozen any more. Sell mine in great shape for around $400.

I sent an email last night and it kicked it back. I have some questions about the saw and the owner/builder.
I have a 064 that runs great. How much more power would a 066 have? Mine have been modified a bit, sounds about the same. Just curious! Lz
