Looking for a husqvarna 181/281 parts

[joshwallace]

I'm looking for a working old style chain brake

Why do you want the old style brake? the later inertia brake was far superior.

Because swede-o-matic is a much cooler name for a mechanism, despite the clunkiness of operation ?

Plus you get a lil twirly knob that does not much  ? K

I've spent 15yrs working with twirly knobs that don't do much... Industry's rife with em

have few old bits for metal handled brakes..i struggled to find bits for these 10 years ago .list some part numbers and will see what will fit

I'm new to the 181 got it a couple of weeks ago, found that It had some bad cracks in the crankcase but I managed to get my hands on a 281 case all I think I need is a brake, I'll post more pic of the clutch case and brake when I get home

I would say that is a 288 pot as it has a decompressor, 281 never had one as far as i know

You can get that frozen but I like to mash my own with some butter and black pepper .

Swede o matic was designed in the  gun shop, based on a gun trigger mechanism, just a bit of trivia.
