Hey guys-
I rebuilt two pretty nice saws - one later poly flywheel bubble-top Stihl 066 and one later Husqvarna 288.
The 066 I built for an arborist buddy who ended up taking my 385. The short block I got from a member here- it was in good shape but had been hit by a tree and the tank and all exterior plastic was wiped out. This one has some aftermarket parts- The tank, brake handle, top cover, and air filter cover are Chinese parts from the last Christmas sale at HL Supply. The 3/4 wrap handle is aftermarket- USA brand from Madsen's. The Pro Safety dawgs also came from Madsen's. Other specs:
Bearings: PTO side, new OEM from Definitive Dave's store, Flywheel side: new Nachi
Seals and gaskets: New OEM from Definitive Dave
Piston, rings, wrist pin bearing, pin, & clips: New OEM from Definitive Dave
Large sprocket cover and brake cover: New OEM from Saw-King's shop
The jug is Mahle/Stihl and is minty. The crank is minty OEM as well. The carb is an early WJ-35. The ignition is the 1314.
