Title: Trying to identify these chain brakes
Post by: fordrocks on February 25, 2014, 02:07:27 pm
Anyone recognize what model saws these chain brakes are from. The smaller one looks to be from a topping saw maybe.

First appears to be for a climbing saw, like 334/335/338
Second one says right on it is Husqvarna 335
The third is most likely an early 262 plastic cover because of the two tabs on the back edge, which usually are broken or worn off.

Ford, what did you buy a truck load of old saws?

Guess i need to look a little closer, the 1st and second pic are the same cover and it does say 335. Ya, i bought 8 boxes of saw parts and have been able to identify most parts but some have me stumped! LOL!

They must have been LARGE boxes, you have been pulling parts out of them for days. OBTW, the 262 cover is probably worth more to sell it. Hard to come by anymore, especially with the tabs still there. If you happen to have a 262XP in one of those boxes then hang on to the cover.

I have 6 of these covers in total, 3 complete working and 3 that just need new bands. I'll be selling all 6

Are you planning to e-Bay your stuff, sell locally via Craigslist or what? You may want (once you get your inventory completed) to also list the stuff here in the 'for sale' section to give the members a shot at what they may need or want.

It does not cost you anything and I have yet to run into any of the members that I would not trust to make good on a deal.

I'll keep that in mind. Up until now i didn't realize there was a for sale section here. Thanks.

A bit of friendly advice; if you have crankcases with crankshafts to sell and do not have the appropriate case splitting tools, do not try to split the crankcase. They are somewhat fragile, break easily and are usually damaged in some way by the wrong tools.

You would actually be better off $wise to sell the bottom ends as units, when you consider that the tools for splitting Husqvarna cases are around $80 each and there are 4 or 5 different ones.   ::)
