Been blessed to be able to have brought this for $100. Scored top end. What is more desirable, 660 or 066?

066, imo

The white look of the new clutch cover looked so out of place. I recal from a bearing instal that 200c oven will turn stihl powder coat gradually a bit off white / yellow slightly. I just took it out now here is a contrast against a blanket and then also how closely now it matches the colour of the saw

Out with the old seals and in with the new. I decided to machine a seal sleeve tool for the PTO side step View attachment 1131104

Na haha, I never had much luck with them, it’s probably just I’m doing it wrong. The cans seemed too thick and would stretch the seal.

You machined a sleeve thinner than Al can thickness? Wow

Most reliable saws ever made IMHO

This is a Aussie ms660

The sleeve buts up at the same height as the top of the step on the crank. The can requires you to wrap it round the upper step stretching the seal. Clearly isn’t an issue as everyone does it, I just haven’t had much luck doing so lol.

Sometimes people ask these stupid questions, I take them at face value until proven otherwise
