Thinking of selling my 064

[MattG]

So I bought my 064 about 2 years back, most of the PTO side was missing on purchase, and basically had an undiagnosed running problem - i.e. it would start, but you couldn't actually run or idle it etc.

I replaced all missing parts, cleaned and checked out everything, and figured it was a blown base causing a massive air leak hence the problem. The original jug and slug are clean, as are seals and the bearings.

Thing is, now I've got my 044/460 hybrid finished and running, I doubt I'll get much opportunity to actually run the 064, which is a shame, and seeing as I'm an office worker who collects saws, mainly to process our own firewood and prune the odd tree, I'm sure that I'm gonna be able to do almost anything that the 064 could do with the hybrid. (Plus the space and money freed by the 064 sale may assist the starting of a new 044 project...... ).

So what do you fellas think? Should I sell? And what's a reasonable price to expect to sell it for? Here's a couple pics...





Other details, has good compression (160-165), starts, idles, runs, oils real well just as you'd want it to. So what is it worth?

$350.00 to $425.00 in my area ready to go with a bar and chain.

Cost of shipping to my door

Why. Not keep both? Ported, both are runners. But I would take a 64 over a hybrid.

I'm waiting on the price tag. What cylinder is in it?

 

[blsnelling]

Not much heavier than a 046. Yours looks to be in great shape and hard the far less common clear tank. That's a desirable saw.

 

[Deets066]

500 max

Very nice saw!! As Brad stated...quite desirable as well.

I dunno really. Mainly cos what with my day job, and the fact we don't get wood much bigger than 30" to process for our logs, I just see less and less opportunity for it to work.

It would be good as a keeper, since on the right wood, it is fantastic to use. Last really good time to use was back in January help a neighbour demolish some birch, probably 24-28" thick. And yeah it kicked butt.

It's a stock one, WITHOUT a decomp port. That's all I remember about it. It was 2 years back when I had it stripped.

I agree with @Time's Standing Stihl and @blsnelling id keep it and the clear tank means its most likely a latwr model saw wich also means it most likely has the best ignition system of sev.they did on theses saws.im an a.c. tech by trade and dont even heat with wood but id never part with my 064 in facct im building a second one and gonna do 064 066 hybrid with it.imo the 064 and 044 are the 2 best saws stihl ever made why not keep both? If you sell it you will regret it.just as you stated you used it to help a neighbor with a big job.

Yo dude, England speaking

I think it's Mahle TBH. Most of the stihl strip downs I've ever done say that on the jug.

 

[MattG]

Well thanks for the price opinions fellas.

But to be honest, y'all just making me feel very guilty for even so much as thinking about selling it!

My missus is going to wish I'd never asked you guys!
