Good day all,
Been a lurker for awhile now, but managed to pick up a nice 028AV(runs mint) and an 048AV (not running) as a package deal for $200.
The 048 looks to be in goodish condition and looks like it would run. I have a new recoil spring on the way after it snapped on me, but the compression was good before that.
The big glaring issue before I put anymore $ into this thing is weather or not I can find a brake band assembly. Where I'd be working is in the middle of nowhere with no cell reception - so I'd like to be safe. Of course someone either broke it or outright removed the brake band assy because it is non existent. I know the 048 is hard to find for parts, but was wondering if the brake band off an 038 might fit it...... if so there's a bunch of those kicking around. None for the 048 that I can find.
Part number differences are : 048: 1117 160 5401, and the 038: 1119 160 5401.
in pictures they look awful similar to each other.
Thanks for the help! Glad to be here.
