stihl ms 460 brake handle

[boutselis]

could some one give me the part number for a ms460 brake handle and also tell me if I could fit it on an ms660 the other way around.

I have a feeling the answer is no because I think the 660 is a wider saw but just want to make sure before I try scavanging for parts.

thanks

thanks. So logic says that a 660 handle won't fir a 460. is there ever a case where the part number is that different but the two parts are almost identical?

Two Different Handles

I can assure you that the MS460 chain brake handle will not work on an MS660 and vice versa. Stihl has made a different chain brake handle for just about every model that they sell. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing this. Width of saw and size of engine are part of it, but different models with almost the same size engine usually have a diferent handle also.

Ok that narrows my options down. I talked to some one who had a 660 handle that was in rough shape but was cracked and not broken. I repaired a friends ms290 handle with aluminum and pop rivits and was going to do the same for him for his 460 but we have no handle. This 660 handle was only going to be $5 but if it won't work it won't work.

thanks for the help

$5 Repair?

I've never heard of a Stihl chain break handle that was "going to be $5". Did you leave out a zero after the 5? Pease advise.

Repairing broken Stihl plastic chain brake handles with aluminum and pop rivets will likely never work.

The handle has a big crack in it and is chewed up literally. he says his dog was in the garage and chewed on it so its pretty rough. and I know him. we sell each other parts cheap some times

hence the price.

I repaired a 290 brake handle with aluminum and pop rivits and it is still working. its been at least 2 years. It has been used a few times since then. not sure how many times the brake has actually been used.

But none of that matters as it will not fit.

At least on the 660 the brakes are different between wrap and non-wrap models. I don't know if that holds true for the MS460 too.
