Oh yeah! The big move will be getting more saws. 660 on deck

I work as a farm equipment tech for a large dealership that has construction, farm equipment and outdoor power equipment or O.P.E. Ope was in a different shop so I didn't get much chance to see there jobs. Now all departments are in a new shop and I can take a short walk to see the ope guys and there chainsaw jobs. I took a walk over there on my lunch break and found a nice 660 with a toasted piston. The complaint was it didn't idle. I told the service manager to tell the customer I'm interested in the saw as is. I also asked if he would let me know when a saw is blown so I can offer to buy them as is. The first and second picture is of the ope end of the shop.

That is a nice looking facility, very nice and neat OPE section. Your lathe will come in real handy on that 660 too. Seems like they have a high exhaust area from the factory.
 
Take a look a the ceiling fans. There 16 ft. diameter big ass fans. The shop feels like a 10-15 mph breeze all the time. It's a pretty high tech shop. Computers at every workstation for easy parts look up. We send a parts request and the parts are delivered to our work bench. Lights light up for 20 min when motion is detected under every light. There's four propane on demand water heaters for floor heating. The big ass brand fans are controlled by temp and those things spin crazy fast when its hot. If I counted right there's twenty six mechanics in this shop. We have twelve F550 or dodge 5500 service trucks fully loaded with air welder and cranes. Were set up well but we use it all hard. Lots of miles get put on the trucks and we move tons of equipment through the shop. Always busy and still growing. I've been there 12 years and can't believe how fast the business is growing.
 
You can't fool us, it's all fake and photo-shopped pictures. No shop can be that neat, not a spec of mud on any tire or any dirt on the floor where vehicles are tracked in ... that's impressive. Good luck with the saw purchase.
 
What is that big new holland buggy for? Is that specialized or just a general tractor that looks like that?

Its a combine. Brand new just getting predelivered and set up. Over $300,000 with a corn and grain head 30 ft wide
