Chainsaw Repair

I am new to your forum and I just want to say Hi and thanks for letting me join in. I was chasing down a repair /service manual for my saws I own 3 of the 5000 plus's. In chasing down this info I was led to a post on this site where a person had shown someone a picture of his service manual.    Then I joined this site so I could ask him if he knew how I could find one as well.
While waiting for the approval to join in here, I posted the question on another forum "Tractorbynet." I got a responce from the person that also belongs to this site as well. As we speak I am in the process of buying one a "soft cover edition" from e-bay. I just hope it will have the same info as the one pictured in "cut4fun's" post. Well thanks again and have a Merry Christmas.

It shows sold now so I hope you got it. 

Yes and that is where I learned the trick of holding the topend still through the crankcase with a hex wrench years ago. Didnt have to use a piston stop or rope trick through the sparkplug hole anymore.

Well I got my Partner 5000 / 500 service manual my nephew bought it for me from e-bay.
In the mean time I have accidently run over one of my 5000's  I destroyed the "D" handel ,chain brake cover and recoil cover. I had enough spare parts to rebuild most of it but I will need a chain brake cover.Does anyone have a chain brake cover they would part with? Actuall I would take 2 if I could get them/ you never know.
I have searched and joined 2 other sites but still no luck finding parts.I have joined Chainsaw repair.I will begin looking at old saw shops in my area in Central Maine to see if any are lying about.If anyone knows a good place to look let me know and I will check it out. This was pasted  by me from the Tractorbynet forum when it was pointed out to me that I had not made this request here.Thanks Jeff
