Yea . all the ones I seen on internet had chain brakes ./ Try Randy Duncan in the U. S . He has an " Aladdins " cave of parts ......

Try an actual dealer, stihl still makes the parts

 

In fact, it looks like you only need the internals

Used to be my favourite go to saw in its day. Mine didn't have a brake. Got squashed felling chestnuts.

I shall take it to my local dealer as soon as possible and see what he says. Would be a bonus if I could use it, even if its not as good as newer saws, it's still a good saw and in great condition for its age

'Not as good' is subjective.

 

It's a lot heavier for its power than a modern saw, and it won't win any speed contests, but it has pretty high torque so won't bog down as easily with a longer bar on. It would be OK milling with a small log mill or a 24" Alaskan. Not the quickest, but it would handle it.

 

It looks very much like the chain brake parts are interchangeable with the 051 and 076. If so, they are no longer available new, but are easily available from Ebay in Germany at the moment. The brake is mounted in the bar cover (not the same cover as the unbraked one unfortunately - it's deeper). You also need the hand guard with the spring.

 

Edit: Just checked your pictures - I think yours is the earlier type without the cast lug on the top/front of the crank case to take the chainbrake hand guard. If so, it won't fit I'm afraid.
