Current price from Stihl, $84.99
How long did you run it for after you fixed it? Did you immediately take off the cover? Was that plastic still soft and melted when you inspected it? OK, basically what im saying is did you run the **** out of it and accidently leave the brake on causing this damage??? LolMy buddy bought this used for $150. Cut one small tree, and the new hand tighten system it has (not the 2 bar nuts but the plastic wing nut) broke off. He gave to me to fix. I got the new part and ran it, the bar overheated right away. I removed the clutch and found a lot of melted damage. The oil channel from pump to bar is open, the worm gear for pump is melted, and the clip on worm gear is missing some. Did I mention there's NO needle bearing for the drum, it's just sitting on the shaft. I assume the guy knew what he was selling. It ran perfectly otherwise btw. So now, is it worth fixing, I would need a whole half of case, correct? Keep in mind, I've never gone that deep into a saw before, have dealer fix?
Awesome please let me know [email protected]Let me go look in my parts pile. I think I have a few 250 carcasses with good cases.

Ya I saw thoes, China knockoffsIf that doesn't work out ebay sells them for less than $25 brand new and includes the oil pump, fuel and oil lines, oil and fuel caps and several other things
Did you send him back to this reputable shop?See that **** bothers me.. I had a guy bring me a MS460 he purchased off a reputable local shop. Saw worked fine for about 3 tanks before it took a crap.
Turns out it was a cheap aftermarket cylinder kit, and further inspection showed it was actually a 440, that someone put a 460 badge on.
