Anyone have experience with these? Things to look for, good saw? I paid 226.00 for it at a rummage sale. Came with a saw sharpener and Some tree climbing gear. Also the bar on it is huge, can I put A 20 inch bar on it?

That was a good price for it provided it isn't all beat up and running well. It is similar to the 066 and newer MS660. It is a commercial logging saw and a lot of guys loved them. You can put a 16" bar on it if you want. Depending on what all tree climbing gear you got, may be worth what you paid.

If I had a 064, I'd put a ripping chain on it and an Alaskan sawmill attachment. IMO it's way too much saw for normal woodcutting.

I've had mine for a long time, and it's been bullet proof.

whats the biggest wood you cut on any regular basis?
the 066av is a big saw but if you get loads of logs , or skid logs out into the field and you spend hours just bucking firewood rounds and all your doing is letting the saw fall throught he wood you can speed up some , shorter bar more agesive file on the chain to match the power
you got a good deal if it is running and depending on the other stuff you likely got a great deal.
pull the muffler and see what the cylinder and rings look like , if you put new rings in early you can avoid a piston and jug many times
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have a 064 and 066 and love them both. They are awesome at cutting ice for beaver sets.
I have nothing clever to put here.
