Love that thing, was a HF sale special. Holds numerous tools, wedges, pulleys, sharpening files, marking pens, tape measure, stump vice, etc. Very convenient.

Well I'm going to copy it .

The only thing I'm going to miss about the bucket, is it holds a spare bar and my ax.

It's a Madsen's 3/4 wrap. They are no longer produced

Dang, that's my luck. Wrap handles are practically non-existent in my area. Was thinking of ordering a 661 in a wrap, not sure if I can. On the Stihl website it says only available in certain areas.

If your local guy can't get one, contact one of the dealers on the site, and they should be able to help you. While I am not a wrap handle fan, it is what I would order ... comes with the cool vented spikes, HO chain cover, and I think a heavy duty oiler. They are very nice saws! (and I got a set of those vented spikes on my 044 w/28" light bar, makes for a great light weight felling saw).

Oil pumps are same on a 661 wrap or non wrap

Only difference is some have a pin knocked in from the factory for oil flow I believe??? there was something in the manual about it

Good to know. Thanks
Do you have a part number for the vented spikes? I haven't been able to find them. Would like a set for my 044 also.

No, but if you talk to a Stihl dealer and request a pair of the vented 661 R spikes, they should be able to get them for you. IMO, they are way cool on a long bar saw, and they work well also (some trees get very irregular where you have to cut them).

Thank you sir.
Agreed, a single spike doesn't cut it ( no pun intended) when trying to make the notch on a humbolt.

Yep! I was told it had a extra leaf all the way around.

I'm guessing a 14 bolt rear and dana 60 front

 

[czar800]

Yes sir, it's got a 292 straight six...... That I love! It's no race horse but it's perfect for hauling firewood around the farm.

292 is a fabulous motor.

I hate the stock spike on my 562 for that. I'm going to look and see if I can fix another larger one to fit until I can come up with the bigger set.

Perfect combo for a work truck

My wife's grandpa bought the truck new in 78' and it still runs like a clock. I bought it when he passed away in 03'

There's pictures of my wife when she was a little girl riding in the truck just like this one of my little one.

 

[jmssaws]

I have my father in laws 85,I got it after he passed away, 123xxx original miles.
I'm the 2nd owner.
I've had many of the 76-87 Chevy 4x4
Awesome trucks

I have an eBay post saved on my computer. This guy has a ton of different spikes. I think he fabs them. I will post it when I get home.

I got a pic (it is not digital) of my older daughter when she was just a squirt standing on the seat of my 70 Boss 302 Mustang with her hands on the wheel. It is just precious!
