Yeah in my girls lap at all times ( just to keep her warm!, the saw i mean )!

[@rickyflinchum2909]

Rides up front with the seatbelt on. Just in case.

Man that’s a beautiful 064 and now it’s going to run as great as it looks!!! Stud saw now!!! Beautiful job!!!

[@dynojoemods2764]

Thank you

[@carbonEYE007]

I miss my 044 more than any other saw. I run the ms460 and ms261 now. Love the 0series and they are becoming more scarce

[@richardfuerst5286]

I bought an 064 off Ebay and restored it. Duel port muffler and minor porting. Put a 36" bar. Awesome saw.

[@weldypants4347]

❤❤❤ these old “0” series saws Anything with the “Made in West Germany” on the recoil is a keeper! Keep this kind of content coming please!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! When I started logging in 1990 my dad handed me an 064, I was 16 years old and not built for logging. If I ran the saw out of gas and it got cold I had a real hard time restarting it so my dad put the thicker base gasket in it solving that problem. A couple of years later my dad felt I had put enough time in logging and gave me that 064 when he purchased a new 066 flat top, (the saw in my picture). I have run that 064 for 32 years now and own several others. For many years that 064 was the only saw I owned, thankfully it survived my journey through the game of logging, the fuel tank has been patched a number of times from being crushed, the handle bent and straightend several times. It helped me purchase a dozer and a skidder of my own. My local Stihl dealer is constantly telling me how I am the only logger he knows still running 25+ year old saws. I have retired several old saws from full time logging, but cannot leave the 064 on a sheIf. I am blessed to be able to purchase any saw I want now but none have measured up to an 064. I have good reason to say they are one of the best saws ever made.

[@dynojoemods2764]

Wow. The 064 sure has treated you well. They sure are good runners!

[@230e4]

@@dynojoemods2764 I have had a good run with them for sure. I was really excited to see this like new one as one of your builds. I would love to have an arctic 034 or 036 as well. Thanks for showing them.

[@lloydogan2957]

I have two 064’s and an 066. I love them! The two 064’s have a ton of compression and run really strong. I have probably cut 200-300 cords of wood with both and they have never been apart and still run strong. They both have muffler and filter mods. Running 28 and 32” bars. They will out cut any of my friends newer saws, 462 and 500i included.

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

I have a “Frankensaw” 064 that’ll absolutely stomp a 500i into the ground without breaking a sweat. The pre epa design allows for lotsa ballsa to be made with a good build. The AV system isnt as good as the state of the art 500i and the 064 is a fuzz heavier but not THAT much heavier for the performance

[@eriknelson6529]

I've cut millions of board feet with those Saws. Bought all of mine in the 90's. I think the flat tops are the best I've run in the woods. That 064 turned out beautiful! Great job Joe.

[@mattfleming86]

Now THAT is a Stihl. Absolutely gorgeous saw.

[@deanlarkins5858]

Man I definitely like the old series. O45/056. I've been waiting for you to do a Dyno run on an 056 Magnum 2. My favorite saw. I have two Magnums and a super. They've always been my favorites.my dad ran these saws in northern CA.in the '70s and '80s. I watched him cut a lot of big old girls trees North of Redding. These are the original muscle saws, as far as I know. Please Dyno a 056 Magnum II....

[@s.a.j303]

Bought one as my first “big” saw at 21, best thing I’ve ever bought fully stock, runs a 36 inch bar no problem it’s my main saw 💯

[@bradymorrison4568]

As a husky guy that’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. All jokes aside I really like the 0 series much better than the new my co worker had a mint 044 and he let me run it for a bit was a freaking monster I loved it!

O series are the best saw stihl ever made

[@lagoonrd4173]

Back in 2001 I ran one for about a week on a clearing project, cutting a fire break in mesa verde co … all day cutting pinion and juniper, high heat. That saw is a beast

[@scottsouthwell4968]

I have a 064av that is all original and have had for years. It don't get run much, but I make sure to give it a little start up and a few cuts during the year with fresh fuel. It likes to drink the gas. Lol. I enjoy your videos and you do great work !

[@lukereynolds9907]

That's beautiful Joe I still love my 660

[@jnljnl8485]

I'm Stihl running an old points equiped 031. It's a good firewood saw for the midget trees in my area. It will pull with the rakers filed down to take fairly thick shavings.

[@justinweaver8787]

Absolutely love the 034. Very nice 064 as well. Clean pair of saw's. Hope u had a good thanksgiving.

[@JandSChainsaw]

Nice saw I love my 064

[@albertyowell5455]

I bought an 064 at the pawn shop 20 years ago….$250. Used it occasionally for big stuff. It got hard to start last time & sounds weak, so I pulled the muff. Shows some scoring on the piston but the cylinder looks ok. So a new cylinder & rings were $22 at the “Red Barn.” I’ll add to this after I get it back together…

[@cyrillepinton3398]

Clean job, and impressive figures, as usual.

[@Wanous-hv7zo]

Best power to weigh ratio saw out there. I have 2 that are nice and i use them in the woods all the time

[@vinzer8808]

The legend is true after all, bloody hot saw right out of the box. Should be one of the best power to weight ratio saw after mod too

[@viking1ur]

I got one - i use it for large lumber but not so often. It came with a Logosol mill I bought about 12 years ago. The original sylinder broke about 9 years ago and I bought a new sylinder on the net. However it was not the original one. It was able to use with some modification and the engine run. I got about 9 chainsaw but not all of them run now. I like to use the smaller one when they are suitable.

[@jonathanhoekstra6174]

Been running a 029 Super for over 20 years. Is my go to saw for firewood. Just got an older 039. Hoping it runs as well for a long time.

[@jamesbenjamin7065]

I have 026,029,036,044,046,064,066,084. Have run 500i and several huskies. I believe the 0 series are the best saws ever made. I especially like the ones ending in the number 4. Great job on those beautiful saws and extremely impressive work. Keep up the great videos!!

[@aaronneher4860]

Now you need an 024 and 034 to complete a collection. I want the 024, 034, 044, 064, and an 084 on a shelf. Then on an another shelf I want an 026, 036, 046, 066, and 088.

[@supersportimpalass]

The “0**” series saws are still my favorite. Each seem to have their own quirks to work on them but once you know what they are they really aren’t that bad. I have a 045 Super, 056av, 026 pro, an old 015 and several 020av and avp’s that I’m currently messing around with. I just bought a new MS 194 t this year and gotta say I’m pretty impressed with it but it doesn’t have the soul of my old saws. I would love a 064 to add to my collection.

[@docteur-stihl]

Hello i have a beautiful 064 for sale.. it’s stock and really beautiful

[@lloydogan2957]

Hi Joe, I have been running two 064’s with muffler and air box mods for 30 years now. I cut 30-35 cords of wood per year. They have been great saws! I like them better than any other saw that I have run. I also have an early 066. It too runs really well but getting tired. Just got a new big bore cylinder and will be porting shortly.

[@mrtennessee6862]

I’ve been wanting a bigger saw than my 036 but can’t justify a new 70cc saw. Our local shop happened to mention an 064 that needs the cobwebs blown out. Think I might ask what they want for it after seeing the graph and gains. Love the content!

[@ocsplc]

Dyno: I’ve got a 460 Magnum and a 660. Both heavy working saws, but modded with performance mufflers, Max Air Flow systems and pop up pistons. I’ll take these over 500i. My old Husqvarna 380CD is built like a Panzer VI Kampfwagen. It’s 77cc’s also delivers big power with it’s Tillotson carb and ported muffler. No big mods yet. Runs a 32-36” bar no problem. And it’s construction is unlike anything you can buy now. Only plastic on it is the top cover and even that plastic is twice as thick as the cheap plastic covering even new Stihls and Huskies. They don’t make em like they used to

That is crazy that a 064 stock has 7.59hp that is more hp than a stock 660 7.2hp. Maybe I should try a 064 cylinder on my 660.

Newer epa 660’s are choked up, if you open the muffler up and do a few other things it will put out over the 7.6 hp

Everything that was done was a major improvement… he stated in the beginning of the video that someone had assembled the 64 out of a collection of oem parts and there’s no numbers on the case’s… so it’s not a super collector piece.., it’s a super great runner now!!!
