I bought my MS660 kit from Hutzl in October this year, it arrived to Australia about 7 days later and cost $225 USD landed and it certainly looked very good. I followed the advice of others and bought an OEM little end bearing, gasket kit and decompression valve but besides that I used all the farmertec parts.
The kit went together really well. I followed the videos of Tractor Tech to do it - so thanks for uploading if your out there reading this.
Cases went together really easily with the hot and cold method, however I did inadvertently push out one of the crank bearings a bit which meant my oil pump wouldn't go on. Once I had tapped this bearing back in it was all smooth sailing. Assembly took about 5 hours from start to finish I think. I wasn't missing a single part from my kit - not one. In fact I virtually didn't have any extras either...just one M4 screw which I think I was meant to use on the chain tensioner cover plate (I actually put a little black slot head screw here which was also M4, and which I had two of in my kit).
Squish was measured at .020 on one side and .023 on the other which I think should be fine.
The saw started on the fourth pull which was exciting (and relieving). I am going to use this as a dedicated slabbing/milling saw and must admit I am a bit nervous as this is heavy duty work. I'm conscious that Tractor Tech blew his machine up in short order so I am going to run mine at 33:1 mix in the hope that the extra oil will at the very least give me extra piece of mind.
I'm going to my mates property this weekend where I will try to break the saw in gently before making some slabbing cuts. I'll keep you posted on how I go.
