Husqvarna 50 - Braking band

[RogerD]

We have a Husqvarna 50, S/N 9150724, that has broken the braking band. Evidently this part is no longer available from Husqvarna. Since this a saw at work, we cannot use without working chain brake. It would be a shame to have to get rid of a fine saw just because of this. Husky says part # 501764801.

I found this... don't know if you want to spend that kind of money on that saw though...

According to Husqvarna that does not show as being compatible with my 50. Who knows?

Hmm... yeah, I don't know.

Also found this one... aftermarket, but half the price.

Order it, if it doesn't work, send it back.

Do you have a photo of your saw? I have a 50 built in 86 and one built in early 90. They use the same clutch cover/chain brake as a 51 and 55. You can get after market parts on eBay cheap.

When you put it in the cart...says...In Stock Soon.

To the OP: I would go to the Parts For Sale section of this site and post a wanted thread.

If i remember correctly , the newer brake will work, but the outlet for muffler is a problem as it will melt brake handle.
you may have to change to 51/55 muffler and front bracket for it not to melt cb lever?

Ha Ha, I didn't go that far. Usually when Jack's says they have it, it is available.
Oh well, hope he finds one. He might be able to have it tig welded though. jmho. OT

Gosh...they seemed to have sold a gazillion of these saws. I can't imagine changing out a bunch of parts to use a newer band, or tig welding the old one, will be necessary.

Shop hard for the correct used band.

Since I got burned by them for some Echo parts I always before I order. Finally got ahold of echo for those parts, "we have no idea if we will ever get those again". Cancelled order with Jacks and had a mess of paperwork to do. I work for city public works, paperwork, paperwork, paperwork.

Local shop had a dead 51 he was using for parts, we swapped the cover w/ brake assy, bolted right up. No charge either. Worked out great.
