028 WB question

[Mossy]

Hey guys, Did the 028 wb have a chain brake? I'm fixing one up for a friend and it has pins in the case but no brake hardware.

Mine has it.

Thanks Super, Maybe it broke at one time and someone simply took it off and ran without it.

Most didn't have it, but it was an option.

I got one and it don't have one on it just the handle part on top. No innards and was told it was bought that way new.

The early model028's did not, and Stihl had a "dealer installed" kit that was available in the 80's for it. The one I have was bought brand new in late 1984 and it does have a chain brake.
