I wish you were my neighbor.

Farmer up the road likes it.

I have never charged him anything for my labor and troubleshooting.
Unless parts needed.

His 660 bought new has very little use. Even though it dont appear so from farm storage dirt covering.

251 suks.

He saved my azz one buried winter 700' back when my 1st plow set up broke during a storm. Christmas eve.

This pic a couple years ago in my 3rd plow set up now.

We had a great saw shop in my town, but same ol story. Owner got older, son didn’t want to continue the business and he closed up then passed away.
Now it’s the Stihl delaer when I can’t fix.

Great thread. I love older saws! Added a Stihl 041AV to the collection today. Probably 40+ years old? A neighbor gave it to me for coming by and cutting up a large oak that had fallen across his driveway. He said he hadn't managed to get it to run in several years.

I brought it home, cleaned it up some, dumped the old gas in it, cleaned the air filter, checked the plug, reset the hi & low speed jets to std and backed off the idle screw which had been turned in as far as it would go. It coughed and came to life quickly and is running super sweet. I'll check the no load RPM tomorrow as it sounds almost too fast for an old torque monster saw. Even with the heft of this thing I can feel a whole bunch of torque when I squeeze the trigger. Should be fun to put into a big'ol oak and watch it eat.

That thing don’t look like it ever got used much.
