Price on this one is likely not right. He paid collector price for it and wants all that back...

Yeah that’s a tough pill to swallow for the price he paid for it he’d probably better off just to keep it. Id love to have a 681 but not for that kind of money. Jmo...

Yup, could own a ported version of just about any new saw on the market for what he has in it.

What’s the price he’s asking?

 

[Woodrow]

$1350-$1400

 

[Frankavich84]

Says if someone does not buy it he is running it tomorrow. Seems silly to threat potential buyers that he will devalue it tomorrow if no one buys it.

I think he realized that he has too much in it and he is better off keeping it.

Don’t we all have a few of those...?

Not I, I’m generally too cheap ( broke) to ever have something like that.

Nabbed up this MS660 this evening quick-fast-and in a hurry...DIRT CHEAP!
Decompression valve is stuck, needs a piston for sure, cylinder looks ok, recoil cover, the plastic plate for the carb adjustment is missing, chain-brake is gone, and a new chain from my 1st inspection.
Yet, I'm happy as pig in slop!!!
Looked online & found that parts are plentiful and mostly reasonable, even the OEM piston/cylinder kits on Flea-Bay.

Tell me is Meteor the next best kit under OEM for this saw?
I'm open to any experiences or advice on this saw.


Now, truth be told this is a lot more saw than what I actually was hunting for or need.
So I am prospect on a good running 044, MS440, MS461, 046 to trade and pay a reasonable difference,
but I'm awfully tempted to take my time (as a project) and get this big boy up a rolling!!

Later Studs!!!

Appreciate it Dub!
1st off I gotta find the most economical$$ method of getting her up & a running...I'm not too mechanically gifted with these old mitts of mine!

You might be able to get away with a cylinder clean up and a new piston.

Certainly hope so.

I've heard some say yes and others say no. You could find a good used oem cyclinder cheaper probably.

The cross topends are good but buy a meteor piston for it and have the base checked to ensure it's square

Thanks Dustin
Think about selling it here as a "NON-RUNNER" and buying a 044 or MS440...
Patience is not an attribute of mine!!
Hmm...

 

[dustinwilt68]

I understand, recently a 361 was trying.my patience, so I traded it a few hours ago myself.lol

IIRC Greg paid a touch over $1K for a NIB 665 with shipping from Europe. At least he got one of those shiny red ALKO bars with it. Feeling a lot better about my recent $440 purchase. Nice to see these saws appreciate in value. Honestly I was going to flip the one i bought and make a dollar off it. Put it on the bench and changed my mind immediately. LOL

This one did not sell yesterday, saw a picture today that would tell me he fueled it up and was taking it out to cut today. Seems like an idiotic thing to me but...
