Coincidentally I have one that's starting to crack at the rear. What do you use as a "splint?"

On my 026 that was cracked I used a soldering iron and melted it back together and then filled where I melted with 2 tone epoxy! Held great so far.

I have used about a 20 ha piece of ss that is formed to the inside of the handle. Then I countersink 2 machine screws to the bottom and 2 inside the handle. If this doesn't make sense let me lnow

Could try plastic welding it. I know there's guys around here that do it. See if someone local has the gear and give it a try. Don't know if anyone has attempted this on a saw or even if it works. I had my motorcycle done and it was great.

I've got some epoxy resin leftover from an acquaintance's experimental airplane build. I was thinking of layering on a bandaid of resin and fiberglass.

I see guys all the time looking for 044 tanks. I can't understand why they don't make aftermarket ones when they make them for 038's, 372's, 272's etc.

There would certainly be lots of demand.

Agree. 660 AM tanks are all over the market.

I agree totally DSS. The aftermarket demand for these would be good, but I'm just a saw hack, what do I know about the market?
The ominous search for a 044 tank is like the expedition to find the albino snipe.
Did the OP find said tank? Or is the search still on. Did not know if I need to still dive into the parts
supply or stand by. Let me know.
Thanks

If the OP did find one and is not in need anymore, I need one aswell. I have a 044 with a 440 tank. Damned floppy cap annoys me.

Send him a PM (conversation). I'm sure he'd be willing to trade with you.

Did you find a tank yet?
If an MS460 tank will work, I have one for sale.
It is starting to crack at the rear, I can send pics. I will even plastic weld it for you if you want it.
