Sold Stihl 066 for 036/361

[sawjunky23]

So I bought an 066 as a project saw, the saw is in tough shape cosmeticaly at least, I have not tore in to it yet but checked a few things on it, The saw has spark but very low compression, looking through the exhaust, I dont see any major scoring but the rings look bad and the cylinder looks dirty, the saw has a metal flywheel, the saw is dirty and looks well used, the clutch side of the crankcase appears to have seen better days but the flywheel side looks to be good, I bought the saw as a project, now I am having second thoughts as I dont think I will get enough use out of such a large saw, I hate to sink the coin into a saw that will see limited use, I was wondering if anybody has a 036/360/361 project saw that they would want to trade for the 066.

Hmm, is it specifically projects you're looking for? I have an 034 that was a project saw, but the project is pretty much done. It now has new bearings and a Hyway 036 top end, not even broken in.

Thats an early 064.

Thats an early 064.

Well, that doesn't make me less interested. I've had an o64 but never an 066, so I'm not attuned to the differences. What tipped you off?

 

[sawfun]

The air cleaner cover and the fuel caps. I sent a PM about it.

Hate to argue, but that's a definite 066 top cover and starter cover. Early 066's also came with the non-HD filter as well...

 

[sawfun]

Well then that's a frankensaw. I don't think the 064's came with a dual port muffler either. And a 066 muffler cover will not fit a 064 muffler. The case and airbox are definitely 064. The top may have been changed though.

Could be. But I really think its a legit 66. Ive had em just like that one, non-HD/old style caps/dual port. Best way to tell would be bore size and oil pump feed line configuration. 064=rubber line, 066=metal line....

I agree with Jeremy- it appears to be an early 066. They were sold in Canada and Europe with the low-profile air filter system (and in the U.S. as "Arctic" saws.) The dual-port cover won't fit early 064 mufflers but it will fit later 064 mufflers, which were the same as 066. Since the seller is in Michigan, I would bet this one originally came out of Canada.

Wiggs is indeed corrrect-a-mundo.

I actually live in Minnesota, but you are correct, I bought the saw from a logger in Saskatchewan Canada

Is this the one for sale on Craigslist?

I do have it listed on CL as well

 

[Toad22t]

Ok!

 

[shorthunter]

I have an 036 Pro project that I am getting ready to order seals and beatings for

 

[sawjunky23]

I want to appologize for the hold up on making a decision, I have recieved a lot of very good offers from folks on here, I also have a few offers localy as the saw is posted on CL as well, I am trying to be patient and take my time in making a decision as I want to be sure that both parties are well informed and walk away happy, I was reluctant to post the saw on this site, as I am new to the site and I look to it a lot for information, and I don't want to get a bad reputation if for some reason the transaction failed to go as both parties saw fit. To those that have made offers, I havent forgot about you, thanks for your interest and patience.

Thanks to everybody who made offers on this saw, I made a deal with a local gent and the saw is gone, now I am on the prowl again.
