cant find the pics but i received one from the warehouse last fall that someone had ported the recoil/crankcase with a forklift. Wasnt much left of the saw but they took the time to open the box and push it back out and tape it up so nobody would notice till a dealer opened the box and pulled the saw out.
Might just JB Weld it, I've never had it fail yet. Might be stronger than it was new..

May i ask how much you'd be willing to let that go for in that condition? Got a buddy lookin for that model and can relay the info, plus its ported by the man himself, he'd probably jump right on it!
EDIT: I'd do the old fixin myself, as is would be fine with him im sure

Disregard, i saw your other thread...
Who was the shipping company? Did you file an insurance claim?
My 460 has a crack started in that same place . I mended it to stop the piece from falling off . But now for the question ... Does anyone know where to get paint that matches the paint on the case ? TIA
It could be rebuilt with a TIG... Slowly!.....Do one pass let it cool completely, then another pass and so on, I'd do this before the brake becomes contaminated.
Then grind it back to its original shape......I can give you the number of a guy that's handy with a grinder.

It's getting cold out there....
At this point I just want to say, that's a bummer.
Also slap on the back to the Husky guys for not starting to gloat. You know, all the husky guys sitting on their hands while they read this thread with smug grins on their faces, practically dying to have a dig at a design flaw on a modern Stihl pro saw...
In before the 'BA again?'

Oh well.......these things will happen.
It's already ported so it's now my saw..........
tried that! after a day of bucking it came off
I'm kinda surprised. I've used it a number of times and never had it fail but I guess that part does get a lot of abuse.
j b weld is right down the road from texarkana!

USPS. No sense in filing a claim. They'd just beat me out of it again.....
Pretty hard to fight the government...

Well if he wasn't he probably should have
I didn't mind removing them tabs on the screw caps.. And all flippy caps are all broken or almost broken anyhow

I just had a saw show up like that.. I am not worried about it, but those that ship in just the factory box should know that USPS is not gentle. They do drop, kick, and shove these boxes. . A lot.
