@jacob j.

Forrest if Frank cant fix ya up, i got one.
JJ u remember what the modding was for? I think its a OE 288 wrap that someone flattened the top of the tube to put a bolt through cuz they used it on a 394/5 for the AV mount. Its still stout id say. Ill send it to ya, you have always been good to me. View attachment 271728View attachment 271729View attachment 271730View attachment 271731

Yeah that's an original OEM 288 handle but a local yokel modified it to fit his 394 while he was working some big fires a few years ago.

I can help with Christmas too @Funky sawman although Nick has the last good 288 full-wrap handle I had (this one that was modified).

Maybe it is time for a saw with easier to find parts? If parts are that hard to find for a 281, it might be worth more in parts anyway than as a work saw. Just a thought.

Yea I'm thinking that too. I'm staying away from Stihl for now, poor customer service locally. Was wanting to stick with non computer carb so that's why the 281 was a candidate.
