FOUND IT Rear Handle for Stihl 046

[blueberrymuzik]

Just bought a great 046 this morning with a broken tank/handle. Anyone got one to sell?

Are you good at fixing plastic? I have one from a 461 with a good tank and handle, but the part that the bottom of the wrap handle bolts too is almost cracked off... you can have it for the shipping if you want to mess with it.

 

[blueberrymuzik]

Yes, I'm very interested. Could you send a pic of the damage? I'd to take a quick look.

 

[Flying_Dutchman]

I'll try to get pictures tonight.

 

[blueberrymuzik]

Thanks! I'm pretty sure that I want it- just need to see if I think I can fix it.

Did you get your handle? If not I have one that aint doin nothin but taking up space that I'dlet go of.

 

[blueberrymuzik]

What would you want for it?

 

[trooney]

Sorry, my bad. I must have got rid of it. I found an 044 handle. Well, thats old age for ya!!

 

[blueberrymuzik]

Sorry to hear that. I've found another one, but it is damaged and I'm going to have to try and repair it.

 

[blueberrymuzik]

Thanks for looking!

I just fixed one like that. Fill in the sides with epoxy, take your time an rap a strap from bottom around the end and back on the flat. Drill and tape the top side countersink bottom side 10-24 screws with green lock tite. Handle will slide right in the pocket. Have to drill a hole for the one screw. Good luck

Thanks! I'll give that a try!

[blueberrymuzik]
