I am still in the market for a good 046 tank, with the screw caps since my epoxy repair on the original tank has failed again. I did pick up an aftermarket flip cap tank for a friend's 460 and it fit surprisingly well. The only modification I made was exchanging the control switch for an...

Moisture at the cabinet but not at the dryer either means it is cooling and condensing after the dryer or the dryer is not working. How much rubber are you using in your air system? My compressor is bolted to the floor at the back of the shop and is plumbed with a combination of copper and...

I am looking for an MS 460 fuel tank, preferably not leaking, but I will take what I can get. I would consider an MS 440 tank as well. Thanks!

Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with the aftermarket cranks? Ultimately I would rather a good OEM one and am mainly just curious.

Mike: I am not in a huge rush for the crank, or tank I am just starting to collect parts for a future mod-project. Also, as long as the tank is't insanely beat up or something the marking, scuffs, and scrapes aren't going to bother me. DRF: I am interested to know how you are plastic welding...

First, I am looking for a fuel tank / handle, ms 460 is preferred, but an ms 440 will do. Second, I am looking for a crankshaft, if anyone has a used OEM one I would be interested in a price. I have seen some aftermarket ones various places, are they any good? Thanks!

While talking about repairs, here is a magnesium repair on the rear handle of an Stihl 041 AV. I did not think to take a "before" picture, but the ear was broken free, not missing. Welding magnesium is not something I have a lot of experience with so do not be fooled by the "after" picture as...

I do not know what happened to my 046 to break it as the saw was an abused basket case when I picked it up, initially for parts. I have seen and owned several other MS460 and 046 saws with the same broken mount within the last two or three years, and have split and replaced the halves. Since...

I knew I could not have been the first one to think about doing this, since I have seen a lot of broken cases in my brief experience. Not much difference between my variation to that one on ebay. Mainly just the rod I added to support the rubber mount and I am not really sure how critical that...

I am sure I'm not the first to think of this, but here is my repair for the broken mount on an Stihl 046 project I am working on.
