Anyone have an 044 rear handle/tank to sell?

[0621]

Was felling a nasty knotty ash tree today. When she started to go it twisted and pinched my saw and kicked up and broke the rear handle off my 044. Just wondering if anyone has a spare they would sell or point me in right direction. Don't matter what shape. Thanks guys.

Sorry about your misfortune. I would start with the sponsors on top of this forum. After that check ebay.
I have seen a few around but you won't like the price. Good luck!

Your right. A bit pricey on eBay

The last new one I bought was about $100 from a stihl dealer. They normally stock them.

Same here. I bought my 046 handle from the dealer at about $100-$110. Don't exactly remember. Fleabay prices on tank handles are higher than dealer and I can't, for the life of me, figure out why.

Is it a true 044?

Cause you can't buy straight 044 or 046 tanks (screw caps) from dealers anymore. Can use a flippy cap tank just fine.

Yes, it's a 1996 model year 044

You'll have to be lucky to find a nice 044 threaded cap tank/handle.

I agree...finding a nice screw cap 044 tank is getting harder and harder...if u do find one you'll probably end up paying a premium price. Your better off biting the bullet and getting yourself a 440 tank and making it a crossbreed.

Dayum I didnt' know handles were a problem for 044's. I just got a really nice used one off fleabay for my 026 for $39.99.

And I have a 044 project saw with a busted handle. Dangit

this one has screw in cap; I've bought a couple things from this guy . . . no problems

My cash flow right now is ZERO so I won't be buying any of these. I don't know if this helps or not but I hope it does.

Thanks Stang, let me know.

sorry bud, I thought I had a couple. the only ones I have left are a couple 066 tanks, an 084 and a 361.

NP, thanks for checking.

If it was new you bought it under their dealer cost

There might be some used ones in my totes:msp_mellow:. but I will assure all there are no new ones at $100
