Stihl 090 066 044
By: HolmenTree Date: December 13, 2016, 10:55 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Here's a pic of my favorite Stihls on my bench. Just took this
picture a few minutes ago.
The guy who bought my 066 and 044 brought them in this morning
to get the 066's starter rope replaced and he wants a 20" b/c on
the 044. I let him keep the 25" bar that was on it as a bonus.
He's a carver and gave them a good work out already, I even
admitted to him the 066 at 24 yrs old never had its cylinder
removed and still has its original carb diaphragms. Still idles
perfect and runs like a champion. I think its heated carb might
have something to do with the diaphragms longevity, constant
thermostatically controlled at 77 F.
My 090 also is the same age and still has the original
diaphragms and runs perfect. 8) I always ran it dry of fuel
before put in storage.
Getting the 090 ready to mill some 10"x10" for February's
competition.

Thanks for moving this. I didn't intend on derailing the Craig
list thread but I wasn't sure if I should start a new thread.
I'll have some pics to add when the 090 goes milling some
oversize white spruce. Just won't be doing any milling for a
while. -37C below with a -45 windchill right now.
Celcius and farinheigt are equal at -40. But the numbers
reverse after -40....-45 C = -49 F.
Those poor pipeline protesters at Standing Rock North Dakota
just south of me. :o

Its in both places if you look at the CL thread again. Just
felt they deserved to be in the stihl thread too.

Thanks Kevin
I like to share with all you guys how I built and what I did
with my chainsaw work shop.
I built it about 4 years ago happy settled and organized in the
last town I lived in.
2 years ago we move 240 miles to a new town. I built the shop
small enough (8'×12')and 8' walls with an attic for extra
storage . I was able to take it with me on a trailer.
Finally after 2 years settling in and running my tree service
I'm able to unpack and get tools etc organized again.
I have another shop 30'×20' attached to the house which I have
set up for my vehicles and equipment.
But in the winter off season I'm more happy to be in my little
cozy chainsaw shop.
Still have lots of unpacking stuff to do filling the shelves.
Attic is full of saws. Still separating and organizing tools etc
between the 2 shops.
And yes I'm itching to tear into the Yamaha bikesaw and totally
redesign it and also make a few race chains or 3 ;D :D

Thanks. When I built it I had a pretty good tree season that
year so I cut no corners :D
I built it all myself except for the electrical work which was
not cheap, but I got what I wanted. 125 amp 30-60 circuit
combination panel . 240volt x 60 amp welder plug and a 15 amp
240 plug for a knife grinder/milling machine. Fed by a 100 foot
of 100amp direct burial cable. Fluorescent lights. Baseboard
heat, exhaust fan.
Yep that electrician was smiling.
Insulated floor, ceiling, door, walls. Triple pane reflective
slider window. If I move again it's coming with me again ;D
Here's my other shop I'm working on . Just finished putting up
60 feet of main shelving 8 feet off the floor on a 11 foot
ceiling. Got another tool chest and cabinet for working on the
equipment and vehicles with a small work bench. Storage for work
clothes, boots. Climbing gear and work saws. Back 7x9 ft door I
put in is where I store my dump trailer, chipper and stump
grinder unit with a Muck Truck power barrow sitting on the
hitch tongue. Housed in a 12'×24' shelter shed.

I was on a roll since yesterday. I'm finding now that I have a
choice of 2 shops I'm "un-crowding my smaller chainsaw shop.
Putting the floor drill press, floor grinder , sand blaster
cabinet, ox/acetylene tanks and arc welder in the big shop.
Bench mount drill press, grinder and 180 mig welder in the saw
shop.
I ran a 240V cable from the saw shop to the big shop for a
welder/heater plug.
Now I got some elbow room :D

Downloaded it off the FF gallery might be a little small at
34KB.
Do have it original plus other pics while on that job on my
external hard drive, but need my wife or daughter with their
tech savvy to extract it, Lol.
