Chain brake handle

[Clyde85]

Hello all I am new here. I think I have finally found the right forum. I have acquired a 61 Husqvarna that I believe to be a 1988 that is missing all of the brake parts out off the clutch cover. It is a grey top with a black serial tag. Serial number 8120554. I was wondering if you knowledgeable people would know which of the chain brakes should be on this saw. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

61,66,266,268,272 and Jonserd 630,670 would fit on your saw.

Would they be steel or plastic handles?

88 was the last year of the metal brake handle on the 61, but it's a rare bird to find in decent shape. Aftermarket ones are available for 40 bucks are so complete.

AFAIK all 266 were delivered with pushrod-operated steel handle brakes. The knee-link plastic handle type was adopted for 272 & 268.

Thank you so much for all the the great information. I was going to do a 272 upgrade but I think I am going to put it back to stock. I acquired this one and a 350 for 30 dollars Canadian. Both are sick though.

My classic anniversary 61 brake handle and brake assembly was messed up but good by the original owner. I replaced it with an aftermarket assembly. It worked:

Nice saw, but my lighter 257 will stay even with it. The faster saw is always the one with the sharper chain.

That's a nice saw. My old man has had a 257 for years and is still running it. It's his only saw. He bought it new when his old 920 burned up. I was about ten at the time. I'm 35 now. I just put a cs 2150 together that I am going to give him for a second saw. He is 62 now lives 7 hours away and alown.

My uncle had a orange top 61 for years. I used it lots when I started cutting fire wood. Some one stoll that one when he went away for a week to visit my Dad.

I have a cs 2145 ,2150,520spx2,116 Sachs,350 husky, ms250c, and a ms 260. The sthils are new to me but I think I am going to like them the 250 will out cut every one but the 260. Wich is good for what it is.

 

[Clyde85]

The 257 was the first be saw I ever used. Love that one.

 

[Clyde85]

Thank you all for the great information.
I was having quite a time trying to figure out which style brake should have been on it.

She is in one piece again. OEM piston kit,seals,crank bearings, gasket set, clutch cover and brake assembly and a 20 inch Husqvarna bar and Oregon chain.

Hello all. I was wondering if any one knows of a suitable replacement coil for a 1987 111 Sachs Dolmar? My brother in-law is in need of one.

Do they ship to the great white north?

Yes, I buy a lot of Stihl parts from them. Good guys to deal with from my experience.
