Chainsaw Repair

Thanks I got them. I will have to open them on the computer as they won't open on my iPad.

Didnt send the 650 660 SM figured you already had it.

Now you have the info. Someday I might need you to explain it.

Think the old pto bearing is just missing the retainer and used 8.   Pulled down saws that the bearing was like that too.

I wonder if the old 16 ball bearing style was more durable then the later 8 ball bearing?The retainer was still intact on the crank journal side.
If you look at the seal next to it you'll see a big wad of sludge like the balls dissolved or something.
No damage to the piston or cylinder what so ever.

Ok now I got it Kevin. In my excitement getting the 066 together I got totally clued out on that.
Yes plastic retainer is gone and a blob stuck to the seal. Haha goes to show how many bottom ends I changed out . I did a lot in the 1970's early '80s on the old Jonsereds but my memory doesn't work so good after 40 years ago.

So after last winter wrenching and sharpening other people's junk for the first time I'd sooner be outdoors making money cutting wood like I'm doing right now.
Here's some pics of a couple of jobs I did today.
Feels great to have the 066 back in my hands .Sure don't miss those clumsy high top Huskies.  About vibration? My 066 is smooth, must got a balanced to zero deflection crank in it, I don't  know but she's smooth.
Also put the 63PS 16" back on my new MS261CM. Been a while since using .325 23RS for the last year and the 63PS was a pleasant surprise with the bigger diameter 7 pin Picco rim over the tiny 7 pin .325 rim.

Just waiting to fill my 261 066 herd with a 462 with a 20" Stihl Light bar to take the main go to saw chores.
