Howdy folks!
I got a free MS661 that had the misfortune of being squashed by a crane. As I was pulling it apart, I was disappointed to find that the crankcase is cracked, but then happy to discover it is only the bottom flange and a little piece of the clutch housing.
I still have to pressure test it, but I might have gotten lucky! This saw will never work professionally again regardless if I fully replaced the crankcase. Maybe it would go to my buddy's milling setup. I wished I took a picture of it before I tore it apart. It was pretty smashed. Casualities include recoil, top cover, air box, clutch cover, etc.
