You should take a picture of your crankcase with the bolt removed and in place so we can see what's going on there.
Your 028 tensioner set up looks slightly different than mine. The bolt on mine has a flange and you don't put the bolt through the rubber piece....
Got the MS360 case. A few differences that matter. The case has 5mm holes for the starter cover as BuckthornBonnie predicted whereas the 034 Super...
I found this pic from Jul-30-2021 and sure enough there's a crack in that spot in the case for the hand brake mechanism pin.......so it was just a...
You can learn quite a bit from Project Farm. Definitely like to learn from his videos. I had Stihl RS chains and just ordered some Oregon EXL...
Oops hahaha. Btw this is the area that is different above the chain brake spring. You can see the 036 case in this picture (same as 360) has no...
Not sure but it's the same as a 192/200t be cause I used the same flywheel smackaroo tool that threads on and it fit on the 034 S. I believe the...
I bought a ms360 case from the same guy who was offering the 036. I figured it's a bit newer and the paint on the ms360 looked a lot better. I...
Thanks. Yeah all I have is a 225amp 240v stick welder so a donor crankcase would probably be the cheapest and easiest way to get her up and running.
Yeah the side tensioner is definitely slightly different in shape between the 036 and the 034 Super. I think I recall something about a muffler...
Thanks. There's also a regular 034 case I see.......I know the 034 and the 034 Super have the same stroke and the 034 has a 46mm bore vs the 48mm...
Yeah budget is an issue so the more I can do the better.......I think I'll take a chance on this case. Thanks for the suggestion.
So I found a possible candidate. 036 case. I asked a bunch of questions. Here's what I asked: Hi. I've purchased parts from you before....
I think I saw a bucket of sand is handy but I wouldn't know based on experience. Yeah I'll keep an eye out. 034/034 Super/036/MS360 crankcases...
And I suppose my options are: 1. Run the chainsaw without a brake (very unlikely option for me) 2. Sell the chainsaw 3. Repair the broken...
I appreciate the info. I will do some research. Given that the damage is to a pretty darn important part of the safety system, I hesitate slightly...
Yeah man that would be cool. I'll send you a DM. I forgot to include the ebay listing that showed the same exact broken spot. [ATTACH]
Well it feels like 5 years have passed since I built this 034 Super............but it has only been 1.5 years and today is a sad day. Got the 24"...
All the loops were in boxes specifically labeled for that chain - i.e. the retail version as opposed to say the dealer making loops from a...
And that should do me good for now. 14" bar on the Makita, 16" on the 026, 18" on the 028, 20/24" on the 034 super, and 28" on the ms460.
