Porting an absolutely beautiful Stihl 064 today. See if this older 85cc can hand with the modern saws still. For more product and service info visit the website worksaws.com
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 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.
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.
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
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....
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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 !
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
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
I've heard once you go stihl, you never go back, didn't work for me 🤣. I sold an 036 that was never fired a few yrs ago to edwad, it was sent to Doc to be ported. I'm not a fan of front tensioners, so no 0 series stihls or huskys for me, but I still have a couple 242xp (one ported). Have a great turkey day.
@@dynojoemods2764 I like the stihls I have, but I also like my dolmars, echos and of course the huskys. Speaking of echos, I found a new rear handle version for 429 I was thinking of grabbing up, then sell my ms201 rear handle and have you port it 😃.
@@brettblack7049 hahahha. I’ve had a few stihls myself and they just don’t do it for me. Lol I still have a 660 clone that I just use to stunp with 😂😂😂. Happy thanksgiving buddy 🤙🏽
My 064 would be my "if I could have only one" saw. No question about it. Have you done dyno runs with max flows or similar setups vs the stock filters? I always think I can feel a difference in the saw but we all know how subjective that can be
I hate stihl saws. But I would pick the O series over the 500i all day everyday My buddy cuts about 20 cord of wood a season and he uses a 044 and a 026 I think it is
Dyno: what’s the tolerance a power saw can take if you big bore it with new jug and piston? Other than clearances for housings etc, is there an industry standard?
My experience is that both of my 064’s out cut my 066 when it was new. I muffler modded and put a velocity stack and large K&N filter with sock on the 066 and now it runs about even with the muffler modded 064’s. They were screamers right out of the box.
Is the 064 for sale?? I’ve been looking for years and would be a dream come true to come across one in such mint condition! I’m very interested if you can let me know or have any information about locating an 064. Thank you. I appreciate your time.
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!!! It’s way way way way way better than stock when old Joey works his magic on one! He’s one of the best porter’s who do the work… did you see how clean and almost factory looking everything looks still???! Properly ported saw’s are improved greatly,sir…
@@DaveyBlue32 I have many ported saws from many builders, I am well aware of what porting modification can do to a saw. My point was NOS saws of that age are far more valuable untampered in bone stock form than modified.
@@aussiehardwood6196 I gotcha now… I’ve got a 371 from 30 years ago that didn’t get more than a couple tanks on it and I’ve kept it separate and kinda always treated it as an original… leave it be example… when he said no ID Tag on the case’s I thought that the collector status was kinda negated because of that??? I definitely wouldn’t be putting hours on it if it were mine… I know that! She’s an amazing example of a saw that’s from decades past! I understand your point
That saw rides up front in the truck!
Yeah in my girls lap at all times ( just to keep her warm!, the saw i mean )!
Rides up front with the seatbelt on. Just in case.

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

Cool, Ending in the number 4 club, I have an 084, then got a new 064 and then along came a couple of 044's. Now i want to get the best looking 024.
Now THAT is a Stihl. Absolutely gorgeous saw.
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

Nice saw I love my 064
Awesome Joe! Love me some 064's!
What's up bud.
Happy turkey day.
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.
I love me some 064 but I really want that 034s…

Because they’re trying to save you back with the new saws
@@christopherlehman4045 dear Chris: run that by me again ? I’m not sure what you mean
Great saw, I enjoy my 066.
Undoubtedly one of the best looking chainsaws ever It reminds me of Christmas. You should dino one with a bigger cylinder
Best power to weigh ratio saw out there. I have 2 that are nice and i use them in the woods all the time
064 is a Man’s Chainsaw!!
That 064 sure turned out well, great job.
Have a great Thanksgiving Joe.
Be driving by your place as soon as we get a bit of light here.
Thank You! Have a safe trip!
Wow that's a nice saw
Man I’ve never seen those in that good of shape. I do know where an O34 super AV Is really nice for 100 bucks but I’m not a stihl guy 😉

Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving
Thank you, you too!
Thank s Joe!!!
Wow that's clean.. and wow that's stout!!!
O MY O MY!! BEAUTS
I inherited my grandads 034 super. Needed a rebuild. Did some mild porting, wouldn't trade that saw for any new saw.
wow looks brand new nice would be nice to have 064 i have 046 and ms460 both i think crank barings are bad so gotta run the 372
My 064 would be my "if I could have only one" saw. No question about it. Have you done dyno runs with max flows or similar setups vs the stock filters? I always think I can feel a difference in the saw but we all know how subjective that can be
Yes I do I have a 028 029 034 and a 045 use them a lot and I also have a homlite super xl
Was thinking about getting the 028 ported
Holly cow 👍🏻
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
I ran my 064 for years although mine was fully insaineizised. I could rip thru 48" to 60 in timber with no effort using a 48" or 60" blade
Old school all the way. No need to cobble a saw up with all the electronics.
I hate stihl saws. But I would pick the O series over the 500i all day everyday
My buddy cuts about 20 cord of wood a season and he uses a 044 and a 026 I think it is
Those things were so loud, you could not believe?
Trying to text you don't know if it went through?
Trying to text you with the number you sent.
Dyno: what’s the tolerance a power saw can take if you big bore it with new jug and piston? Other than clearances for housings etc, is there an industry standard?
Not really a standard, but 2mm over is normally easily achieved
Dear lordddddd😮
Id take 064 everytime over 500i. I run a 066
Ive always heard people say the 064 was a turd compared to the 066 but after seeing this thats a false claim they put out good power
My experience is that both of my 064’s out cut my 066 when it was new. I muffler modded and put a velocity stack and large K&N filter with sock on the 066 and now it runs about even with the muffler modded 064’s. They were screamers right out of the box.

No it was a customer saw. Not for sale. They are hard to come by for sure
Would the cylinder last without nikasil coating ?
Would need a chrome piston to have much chance at all. But not likly to last without proper plating and a bare piston.
Take that o64 over 500 any day
Is that a rebuilt 034s with MS360 tank and case? I don't ever remember seeing MS style fuel caps on that model?
You may be correct. I am not 100% sure what all is 034 and 036/360 parts.
