So by your correlation your generation was soft cause they didn't use axes and cross cut saws?

The point is for $1000.00+ you should get a quality saw that performs out of the box and not need AM parts to function properly

Never been one to go for the crack hoes, but hey, five bucks is five bucks.

Here's the piston and cylinder of my 066 after 26 years. Never logged with it but still put thousands of hours on it. Just a bit of black residue in the cyl roof from the plastic PTO bearing cage.

Used the same old school air filter as my 1986 064.
Rebuilt the saw but put the P/C back together and still pumping 175PSI.
Cleaned the filter and touched up the chain at the end of each day of those 26 years.
Laugh when I hear "oh I can go a month without looking at the air filter"
I like to see his chain.

That's kinda the way I see it...I'm probably wrong though.

any of you yahoos have any idea what this saw cost new?
you think $1000 for a saw is high priced today?

Back in the day logging I ran the winter cover on my 064 year round. Kept the lo profile filter with pre filter screen alot cleaner.
Tried the early HD oiled filter on the 064 with the pre filter sock but was a POS.

Always carried a spare filter to swap out at lunch break. And just tap the filter with the scrench one other time during the day if the wood was dirty.
That's why Stihl made quick access 1 knob covers since the '70s.
Quit whining and get back to work.

That was a heartfelt story, thank for the insight.

Don't worry sonny my Daddy worked me hard on the family farm and by the time I was 16 I started a 20 year falling career on a 2 man cut and skid crew. Put up alot more wood then the old timers could ever dream of and that was running the saw in 2 feet of snow at 30 below F and a few months later in the 90's with 90% humidity.
