This may break a few hearts, but I can't resist. The potential buyer asked for video, and having gotten it all uploaded I thought I'd let everyone else enjoy it. The pics were taken in late summer when I finished putting it back together, but the video was shot about half an hour ago. I don't need any extra cookies sitting around, but I did have a Fiskars-proof mulberry crotch that needed noodling, so that's what you get: The engine shroud is fully intact, including the original 064 badge, but has a lot of surface scratches. I bought it from the original owner, a middle-aged tree cutter in a very small town on the WV/PA border. He had retired from cutting big trees and gotten an easier job doing trim work on a university campus. I did a bunch of remedial work to bring it back to where it should be. I cleaned about 2 pounds of oily sawdust out of various crevices, gave it a new chain brake/hand guard, new air filter assembly and cover, impulse line, fuel line and filter, a couple of AV mounts, one of the felling dogs, the rubber manifold and oiler worm gear. Also replaced the missing badge on the recoil side. All the parts I installed were new or NOS OEM, except for a few screws which were aftermarket. The top end is original, and probably one of the coveted early ones, though I don't know how to tell for sure. A compression test a few days ago came in a bit over 160. I think it needs a new rim sprocket, as the 8-pin that's on it is pretty worn. The little aluminum chain catcher is rather mangled, and could stand to be replaced too. It's worth mentioning that it often takes several pulls to start it cold if it's been sitting for more than a day or so. I haven't spent any time trying to figure out why. After it's even slightly warmed up it's one pull to restart it. I'm asking $500 PHO, plus shipping and PayPal fees. I plan to hang on to the bar and chain because it's the only set I've got that's over 20", and I may need it. Like I said at the top, there's a good chance this is already sold to a member here, but it will be available if he decides to pass.
