You sure it isn't aluminum? They look identical.

What kind of saw is it?
Its a chraftsman built by husqvarna in the mid 80's. I just had the engine all apart and rebuilt the thing, rings, gaskets, fuel lines oil pump, new clutchand sproket, ported and polished the cylinder..I tried the JB to no success, I made about 4 cuts yesterday after letting the jb cure and it seemed like i got a good squeeze on when tightend it down but did not last. Once it heated up they pulled loose.

Gonna look on line and see if anyone may have parted one out. And just buy the half of the case i need.

I am only into the saw for about 60$, thats with the rebuild! And i love the saw, i have a husq 445 x-torq, a Echo 440e and some older sthils and that thing will cut circles around all of them. My wife works for asplundh tree services and can get me a new husq 372 xp for about 500 so if i can get this thing to hold up til after chraistmas I see orange in my future!
