The mighty stihl 064 and early 066

[hacskaroly]

Yours probably gets used. This one needs to get out more but I usually just grab a different saw.

It doesn't get used as much as I would like, I ended up rebuilding it after the previous owner caught it on fire. There are a couple of screws busted in the case and screw holes that need to be retapped. I don't have a tap set yet, so it just sits for now.

For the money harbor freight icons are really good. If I wanted to go better than that I'd just buy the individual high end taps sold locally.

New build. Stihl needs tuning but cuts nicely.

Odd looking clutch cover, is it off a 661? 441? 361 even?

Odd looking clutch cover, is it off a 661? 441? 361 even?

Possible, it is a nos I just pulled out of the box. The one that was on the saw when I got it is pretty rough and went in the mag repair pile.
1138. I think I used it cuz it looked close to the one on my RE.

Yeah, looks like 661. They'll fit the 064/066/660 cases fine but sometimes there's a small gap just under the PTO side top cover screw.

Don’t the 661s have captures?

Nice red light!

You're right - it's the large cover for 361/441. The 661 comes with either captured bar nuts or without. All of the large 661 covers I've seen do not have captured bar nuts.

I found a good couple 1122 648s so will swap

My 661 has the captive nuts.

My 661 has the captive nuts.

Some do, some don't. My timber cutter buddy has three 661s and all three have the large OEM covers that came on the saws without captured BN.
