Looking for Stihl 028 early type chain brake assembly. Brake handle not necessary.

Just started work on an 038AV with a seven digit (!) serial number. The P&C are pristine and the bottom end seems solid. It's missing some chain brake parts (photos 1 and 2) which would be hard to find. My question is: was the PTO side of the case changed when the later chain brake parts were...

Need good used Stihl 044 50mm piston for early 10mm pin models (1128 030 2000)

Checked archives but didn't find anything. If you are, for example, replacing a Stihl handle, is there a way to remove the original stickers without destroying them?

49mm OEM Stihl 039, MS390 cylinder

Chain not in box - bought at dealer closeout: .050 3/8LP 60DL. Has 50R on drive links. Would like to find model number. Thanks!

I put this in the Beg for Manuals thread but haven't had a response yet: Anyone have a service manual and IPL for an ECHO PB-4600 blower?

Have been busy cutting and splitting a couple of fallen oaks near our cabin. Was using the MS440 on the trunks, but went to my 028 for the limbs since the longer bar wasn't needed and my 440 is a bear to start, even with decomp valve (my arms aren't what they used to be). It ran great for a...

Now for the fractured handle. First the fracture is brought into alignment, glued, and clamped. Wedges are used where needed. After the glue has dried, a sheet metal brace is glued on. In the process, two small areas in the upper tank are identified where a crack has penetrated into the...

As a follow up to "Reconstruction of a Smashed Recoil Starter” (https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/reconstruction-of-a-smashed-recoil-starter.336346/), here is the reconstruction of the accompanying tank housing, which required much more work. Not only was it completely broken in...

I was doing a first test run on a 460 and it was running fine. I got the idle adjusted and set the high speed screw fat because I didn't have a bar on it. So I'm running it and blipping it, just letting it warm up a bit. Soon, though, it started acting funky. It would quit and only start on...

Beginning to look like a starter again. Notice that a piece of copper wire has been glued in as scaffolding. At this point, shaped and painted. A small stainless steel washer had been glued into each hole socket for reinforcement. The holes were then drilled to the desired diameter. Finished...

This post is mainly for those who have an antique or prized saw with seemingly irreparable parts which are NLA. This saw doesn't fit those categories, but is a good example to work with. This starter cover comes from a Stihl MS460 that probably had a tree fall on it. A fragment containing...

Have an o26 where you can see the outer race of one crank bearing moving slightly when crank is spun. When rebuilding, is Loctite sleeve locker or peening necessary?

I was getting ready to start a rebuilt saw, so I poured in a little mix, put the old flippy cap on and turned the saw right side up. There was a dribble of mix coming out of the bottom of the cap. I took off the O-ring and slipped on a new one that I had bought on Ebay and no leak. Here's what...

Didn't want to hijack the "most hated part" thread of @Spoon Carving With Tom, so I decided to start a new one. In this thread I'm asking what is the best part, the most satisfying part of a rebuild for you? Most of my life's working career was spent as a pathologist. When I rebuild a saw...

I recently acquired a junked MS440 which was advertised as having a stripped spark plug hole. I got lucky on this one. The cylinder and piston were in pristine condition, with a cylinder/skirt clearance of .002". Just needed some new Cabers and it would be like new. The bottom end was also...

I'm looking for the smaller throttle rod that connects the plastic link in the rear of the handle to the throttle lever of the carb. In my 2012 MediCat it is listed as 1145 182 1500, but according to the dealer, it was replaced by 1145 182 1503 or 1145 182 1504.

I was testing two MS201TC fuel tanks by installing the flippy cap, plugging the fuel line opening, and checking vacuum (and pressure) through the tank vent grommet. Could not get the slightest P or V on either. Reinstalled same flippy caps with same result. Tanks and caps had been cleaned. Out...

Reasonably good condition
