Stihl 064 Rebuild and Restoration!

[Nate66n1]

Ok the oil line is in! Hope oil flows through it! Can anyone explain why? Just why? Brad and Randy or anyone else that says the oil line is easy please make a video and show us how its done!

I think that brass nipple needs pushed in further up by the chain also. Looking good!!!

I don't 'need' one, but someday I would like to obtain a nice 064. I really admire them.

Great thread on a great saw model!

Thanks

I agree. The MS660 is a nice saw, and it was a piece of cake for it to cut my wedding cake, so to speak, but I'd rather have a like new 064 any day. Too bad parts are so hard to find. I wish Stihl treated their parts stock like Shop Smith does. My 1956 greenie can be repaired completely with parts still available.

I want to do a complete pull-apart of an 024 and 036 I have. I have an 026 with a beat up leaky case, and the late o24 with castings for the side adjust has a nearly pristine case. Looks like it would work if I could figure out how to switch cranks. The 036 is also pristine, but somehow corrosion got to the crank bearings and a bit of the inside of the case.I'm afraid someone would have to walk me through the case part step by step, though....

064 parts aren't hard to come by, they can get pricey though.

That's true! Some are hard to find but there out there.

Hardest one I had finding was the mythical 3/4 brake handle but otherwise everything else seems plentiful.

Ya that brake handle was on my long list of parts to find. Really glad a member here clued me in that the regular 9100 brake handle functions as it should with Madsens factory wrap handle. Thanks buddy!

Glad to hear that. I remember Andy (Lakeside53) sold Bowtie a real nice one for cheap years ago, and I said if he ever sold it I wanted a shot at it. Well he sold it to someone else. It was pristine.
Oh well. I like the 056 Mag 2, although it's a bit heavy. Used it a lot yesterday.

Ok here comes round 2 of Dan v Stihl oil line! I have a little different strategy this time. If it works ill share it! If it doesn't work im going back to Mikes for another line!

 

[old-cat]

My first try with that stinkin oil line was crap, but my 2nd and third were good.
For one thing, I read the instructions in the Service Manual!

 

[PA Dan]

And the winner is?

 

[big t double]

Well done
