Husqvarna 351

[alanf]

I just bought a Husqvarna 351 from a co worker, saw seems to run just fine, but no chain brake. Flag is fine, just no brake. When I removed the clutch cover, it had been gutted. No brake band or linkage. Has anyone used aftermarket (like Farmertec) clutch cover for this series saw? Seems real cheap to buy the whole clutch cover with all brake parts installed. I suppose I could use the original cover and just replace the brake parts. What is the smart thing to do here?
Thanks,
Alan

Or similar. A chain brake is a safety feature. You really think the Chinese give two ***** about our safety? If you shop around you can probably find better cosmetics and/or price or find a listing for just the guts. Point being: stick with the good stuff.

They are cheap and easy to find you should stick with oem.
