Most 100cc Partner saws sold in OZ with 36" bars would've had GB with Partner stenciled in yellow on each side. Long shot but someone at GB in Melbourne may still have the stencil.

Just found out my saw is a R440T
what does the T stand for

As answered earlier, "T" is for Thyristor. Earlier R440s, etc, had a Bosch coil with contact-breaker points under the flywheel. The electronic ignition used a thyristor as a voltage-controlled switch to trigger the spark to the plug.

looks like the clutch cover is broken so could be chasing one if any one has a spare

Checkout eBay? What partner saw interchanges parts with this R440T? That clutch cover look familiar?

could the cover be "TIG WELDED" and cleaned up so you couldnt see where it was welded

 

[Huskybill]

I repaired the alloy husky brake handles using TIG. I’m also a welder fabricator, one of many hats I wear. I’m retired but still do it sometimes at home.

Be aware some of the metals used are magnesium. I asked my welding supplier for TIG rod samples for welding magnesium. I never welded a clutch cover on the saws but I welded everything on the older Husqvarna dirtbike engines with the magnesium rod. I brought the dead back to life.

is it worth mucking around with or just get another cover

 

[Huskybill]

It’s worth fixing. To weld magnesium I open up the argon valve on the TIG put the part to be welded in a box. So it has a argon atmosphere. Magnesium burns in the air.
Then weld it once the box is flooded with argon. It might not be magnesium. But I do the magnesium process anyway. I had a weld droplet hit the floor burning. Stupid me I stepped on it and had like eight droplets on fire running away. I just let it burn out on its own.

I’ve welded quite a bit of magnesium in open air and never had a part catch fire.
A bit of lit up spatter, meh...

 

[Huskybill]

ok Partner collectors. I have a questions?

What’s the difference between a partner 5000 and a partner 5000 plus?

How do I know what model is a partner home owner saw or a pro saw?

How many different partner models were 100cc’s? P100, R440, ??

Are you sure it was magnesium? Did you use magnesium filler rod? Aluminum TIG rod won’t weld magnesium.

I only got involved with Partner after the model range became Electroluxified.
Prior to then, Partner saws had the serial number punched into a raised plat part of the crankcase. Later they had EMAB alloy tags attached with spiral rivet pins.
The only 5000s I saw had metal brake handles, I think also metal starter housing, and many detail differences to the 5000+ and 500. I don't know what differences in porting there may be.
3-digit = semi-pro; 4 digit = pro...er...um...except for the 100cc "P100"
So in the 80s in Australia, we had 550 (55cc), 650(65cc) & 500_(50cc) and later 400 semi-pro/farm saws,
5000+, 7000+ & P100 pro saws.
