Mark, it's good to see you're back, at least for a while. I'll have to see what kind of parts you found. Dan

This is the only 5200 with a break I've seen.
All I have are chain brake models. I don't know if the Canadian factory ever put out models without them. Not the best design on the 3400-4000's. They can be easy to trip and are rather bulky. I haven't measured the mass of the covers but they certainly add up after a few tanks. I prefer 3000, 335 etc brakes to those of the 3400-4000.
Now that looks like a sail, a pretty sail at that.
Nice one Tim! Did you see the 4900 on K asking only $100?
Sure did Lee. I would like to have one but that is a little far to drive. I figured about 12 to 13 hours return. I hear they run as fast as a 5200.
I decided to pick up a little orange 2800 twelve minutes down the road instead.
How was the trip?
Yes tempting but a heck of a drive! My Husky 61 , now a 268 is almost ready. Needed a new gas cap of allthings. I'm hoping that it wasn't the real problem as I have just replaced the tank/handle. Went with a Chinese one, seems fine, except the old cap leaked.
They were available from dealers here at some point. I doubt they ever shipped a saw from the factory with one on but who knows.
The chain brakes on the 3400 does add weight to the saw and I do not think they clear chips as well either.
I have a PP 405 with a 455 top end on it. I use it mainly for stumping because of the direction the exhaust is pointed and the torque that this thing has.
What size bar do you run on it?
Right now I am running a 20" bar because the trees I am stumping are probably at most about 14" to 15" across. I am working at the local cemetery and there is a lot of elm trees around the border that are half dead so I volunteered to clean them up. So far I have removed about 15 of them.

That is a fine looking piece.
Wondering what its purpose was going to be in your stable. 
I have a thread on this one on Chainsaw Repair site. 5200 sold in KY years back.
Always wondered what the story was on it.
Pieced together? Dayton on recoil and poulan pro on clutch cover.
