Stihl 064 comes out of Retirement

Check out our store www.westcoastsaw.com

[@brandonperkins3942]

Bought an 064 in 1993 paid $710 for it out the door tax and all used it last weekend to cut 3 cordes of wood. Always starts, even when it’s super cold. Every time I run it, it “Still” amazes me , it brings back a lot of memories of making a living all through high school and puts a smile on my face. Definitely one of the finer things in life!

[@ionspataru-zn9wm]

did you have to replace anything on it ? or is it factory parts still? i mean like piston..cylinder,carb etc

[@brandonperkins3942]

@@ionspataru-zn9wm I’ve had it rebuilt twice We used to fill semi trailers with wood at 20 cords each . And has been used regularly ever since. I made a living with it in my teenage years. I’d love to know how many hours it has. With a little care it just keeps purring!

[@J_s_construction]

I picked an 064 up for 100 bucks. The coil ended needing replaced. I swapped it and the flywheel out. It has been a great saw.

[@mattfleming86]

Gonna make a few people upset here... but this generation was peak Stihl. What a beauty.

[@nickburchfield329]

I agree. The new saws dont even compare

[@ryanarthur3641]

I agree as well. Nothing built to last anymore. Might be light, but they feel and sound like toys. Take this over a new saw any day.

[@alexstromberg7696]

@@ryanarthur3641 the 064 ia known for being light for a 85cc saw...

[@ryanarthur3641]

@@alexstromberg7696 I know. But not as light as a 500i. I was just referring to people liking new saws because they are lighter. I prefer older because they were built to last.

[@7eis]

Ultimately they are all disposable as long as there are modern equivalents in the stores. Good luck running this thing for 50 years in the woods and thinking you can get oem parts. I run mostly "modern" saws but will run my 346/372/200t occasionally because they are awesome and bring me back to a more simple time.

Hard hat and moustache is a match made in heaven 👍

[@westcoastsaw1368]

I totally agree

[@ericschaefer5407]

Love the old saws, I have a 026 pro, 036 pro, and 044, all are decked out the WCS parts.

[@oxyehho]

Those saws never been in retirement to begin with)))) great saws,logging for decades and I will not trade my 460 for any amount of brand new 500i's periods.:)))

That’s a few 😁

That 064 eats!

[@richardflagg3084]

That 064 is singing! Great video. Keep em' coming.

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Those old 64’s are still a good running saw 👌they had it right back then 30 years and still running with todays saws is really nuts to think about Thank you Richard

[@Wanous-hv7zo]

064 sounds awesome. I have 2 of them

[@cainsmale5988]

I put away my 064 in 1999 after harvesting in New Zealand with it for 12 months.. still had the 24 year old fuel in it .. 6 pulls and away she went .. spent a day cutting firewood with it .. beautiful saw

[@joutdoorsmen23]

Awesome the Ole Girl was sounding and running awesome thanks for what you’re doing and sharing it!!!!!!

[@diddelmugge1108]

That 30 jears old 064 runns line hell. Wished my would runn like that. Greetings from northern germany

[@litewatefitr]

They're not the lightest, they're not the flashiest....but Dammit if the "oh" generation of Stihls isn't my favorite. Runners, man. They just go. Simple and user friendly.

[@westcoastsaw1368]

They were the best IMO

[@elonmust7470]

The 064 AV was actually the leader in power to weight ratio when it came out. It still might be as far as non fuel injected saws go.

[@ServicestarOy]

Saw sounds good! Nice weather for working! 👍🏻

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Yea I like the cold mornings

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

066, 064 and 044 … Old School muscle saws. Me likey the 064

[@elonmust7470]

Muscle saws? The saws you mentioned were a contrast from their formers in that torque was exchanged for hp & chain speed. They were the first of the modern variety, IMO.

[@FJ40Brian]

Getting me stoked to finish up my 066 that was passed down to me but had been rebuilt and put on a shelf 20yrs ago!!

[@tylerblack9518]

Love what you are doing with the channel, would you be willing to do a quick video on your trucks. I have been seeing them in the back ground of you in shop videos and looks like you have a couple of cool rigs

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Yes we will get to it I promise 😉👍

[@kevinforsyth3681]

Great vid I love the pure accuracy in your cuts I love nothing more than hanging off the end of my saws but when I can’t get out due to weather or lack of wood I can watch and listen for hours to your saws and faultless cutting. Thanks from New Zealand

[@scottw.2450]

Ahead of their time the 064s. Light and powerful!

[@elonmust7470]

Best power:weight ever

[@7eis]

That's a pretty good sized diesel wedge you've got there🚜

It’s a energy saver for us old guys 😆

[@justinweaver8107]

Love that 64 man nice to see it on the job now an then. Good times!!!

[@wetsaltypickle]

I have my cousin's 064AV that I am in the process of re sealing. He used it falling for years. She's beat to hell but runs like a dream! Now she just lives her life in retirement cutting fire wood.

[@levigranger5383]

The only way to get them on the ground faster is mechanized falling, 3 clean cuts and they were hitting the ground. Awesome video

[@kennydillon7635]

Love the old Stihl saws from the 80's I'm currently running an 038 magnum, 038 magnum 2, 036 pro, but my 031 sits in the garage. Both of the mags have 3 point WCS dogs on them and they're awesome!

Just going over them and what all that is on them and what’s in them!!! I bet that you would definitely have others come to your channel also that have never seen you before!!!

I love my 064 just wish I could find a new coil that worked as good as the oem. I changed the flywheel to the old model 066 and an aftermarket coil but it isn't quite the same but she still gets the job done.

[@geoffreygreen297]

Wish Stihl would make real saws again. No m tronics, no elasto start, no computer, no decompression valve, actual bottom end power again.

Last one that was real was the 660.

When I am cutting big wood I prefer my 500i but when I am limbing smaller branches 9" or less I prefer my 046 it has less rpm and more torque. I have a refurbished 066 that I have never started the wood is just not big enough where I am at to justify using a big saw but I sure am glad that I bought it.

[@sporranheid]

I'm a total non-pro so feel free to laugh at this, but I hate the idea of debris falling in the tanks so I keep a small, cheap paint brush in my kit, (1" or 1.5"). I cut the bristles shorter with a pair of scissors to make them stiffer. Quickly swipe it around the caps before removal. Could drill a hole in the handle, add a thong and hang it with the fuel bottles. Could even cut the handle shorter. Weighs next to nothing.😁Damn, you line those face cuts up sweet. Mark

Yep, me too. I hate the Sthil caps.

[@westcoastsaw1368]

The original wrap handles are difficult to find on those models they were raked back a bit But what I do is buy a 660 wrap handle and hand guard and they bolt right up and they are raked forward so the weight balances nicer than the original handle👌
