Swap the heads regularly on my machines thats how I know

Cheers guy's any clues on serial numbers etc or is just a chain saw head to fit said model ??

There's only one Stihl chainsaw head, and it'll fit.

This is a thread from over 10 years ago but I have just damaged the gearbox to my HL75. Apart from stripping the teeth off the angle drive both parts of the gear housing that allow for the 0-90 degree orientation of the blades have been damaged (chips off of the bore through which the spindle goes on both parts ). New gearbox seems to be about £300 but as I seldom need to change the angle I was just thinking of replacing the gearbox with the much cheaper

Does anyone know if this is a straight swap or can suggest other options?
