friends how would you build your 064

[sawtalk81]

Chainsaws frighten me. They're just scary.

Just the NEW ones.

In a way i was being kinda sarcastic. Yes the saws in your collection are excellent saws. i personally love the 064 even the 044 are getting harder to find that aren't scrap metal..

That's what I was implying. Maybe not bastardizing a saw with logging service.

 

[srcarr52]

to be honest they don't make too many decent "NEW" saws anymore, nothing but a pain to service and unreliable.

The 572, 562 and 550 are my most used saws, also I build just about as many 5 series saws as I build 394/5's.

The 064/066 is the only Stihl saws I own. I take that back... I have a Stihl pole saw too.

Please.....no pictures of your steel pole.

I just like wearing chainsaw chaps,, even with a silky hand saw it make me feel big and tough..

Without the chaps I feel so naked.

Like said above, it depends on what type of logger is using it.

The one thing I’d be damn sure is perfect would be the bottom end. *s-word-can any shielded bearings, check for any play. I’ve seen a few cracked cases on early 1122s and had one with a spun pto bearing pocket.
Standard woods port with HD or MaxFlo air filter (660 style?) and you’re good to go. Find a low-use cylinder and you’ll wear out a few pistons (while making a lot of board feet).

friends how would you build your 064 for professional logging other than the standard "woods" port? your thoughts friends

@CLEARCUT
Any advice?
I just butcher tree's for firewood
No 064s left around here just pig/dog stock 660s
The stihl boy's run.
394/395 the husky guy's run mainly.

Assuming it’s already a wrap handle saw, I’d Maxflow it and call it good

Well, I’m no saw porter or builder, so I can’t help much with that. But I am a saw user. If it hasn’t been done, I like to have bigger than stock dawgs on a Stihl, maxflo for sure, and muffler mod at the least. The stock dawgs just don’t stick out enough for me. I’m always fighting case rubbing. Even if a maxflo doesn’t help with power, it certainly helps with maintenance and air quality for the saw.

I forgot to say that if an emphasis on something was to be made in the porting process, I would certainly prefer torque for a work saw over a high-winder.

Anything after 2 ports is a noise maker LOL.

Two port muffler and hd air filter set up and base gasket delete but check your squish mine is right at .019 so be careful but for a work saw you don't need to do anymore mods than that.
