WANTED: top handle

soho

wouldnt you know it, after posting the other day that my favorite saw was my partner, i took her out for a spin and bloody aluminum on the top handle has almost cracked right through...

if anyone has a spare, or knows where i could find one, id be willing to fix them up for it!

here is a pic posted by Cut4fun:



the second from the right with the grey handle is mine, but all the top handles seem to be the same shape to me...

any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks

Cut4fun

The 500 handle is different then the handle for the 5000 plus with support.

The Jonsered 490 590 and older Partner 5000 without support are same handle and direct bolt on for the Partner 500.

Pioneer Partner handles were grey ones. All the rest I mentioned are black. Grey is harder to find, if you find a black one snag it.

They can be welded too, I have a 5000 one that was welded like new and is still in service today.

There is a 590 handle on FEEbay cheap.

Have you found your top handle, for your chan saw yet? If not, I might be able to find you one, possibly even a new one. Let me know. Bruce.

I know a fellow racer that has one several states south of me. He has it for sale on FEEbay right now, so you might see if he will ship to Oz.

Not grey though like on the pioneer/partner ones, black like on the partner jonsered ones.

soho

the only one i can find is this one... it doesnt look like it will fit my saw, but maybe it will?

soho

Cut4fun

Nope neither of the handles are the right one.

I'm talking to the guy with the jred handle. See what happens and i will let you know.

You want a 490 590 500 949 or old 5000.

The 325 and 5000 plus can be made to work at the lower AV mount with a extra metal piece on back side or add the 5000 plus support piece.

soho

maybe i should just buy a 7000... hahaha

Chainsawr Partner Chainsaw Top Front Handle PN 505 3500218 NEW

what do u think cut4fun?

Cut4fun

It sure looks like it. Email him and ask if it will fit the P 500. he will be honest with you.


I have dealt with Scott since 05-06. Just had a couple shipments for 2010 arrive too.

Top notch, HONEST to deal with.

Email him and see if he will mail to Aus. I am pretty sure he does.
what do u think cut4fun?

soho

hmmm, it seems to be the wrong part...

Bruce Hopf

I have a Jonsered dealer not to far from me. I'll be going there this week, to take them some parts that I ordered for them. Let me know if you want me to inquire about a top handle for you. Bruce.

in the mean time, good buy or bad buy:

$200 aussie dollas = ~$180 US

thoughts?

Bruce Hopf

Cut4Fun will be able to help you out better on this one. I don't know too much about Partner. Sorry. I'll see what I can do about the handle though, for you. Bruce.

One of my 5000's has a welded handle where it broke into. Guy in Ohio did a excellent job welding and finishing it. You cant even tell it was broken.

I will see if I can find a old pic of it.


I know nothing of that partner saw sorry.

Cut4fun

soho here is the 5000 handle that was broken into and welded back together. Still working good today.

Cut4fun

soho did you ever get a handle or weld the old one up?

soho

i gave it to a friend who had a bit of trouble welding it because its quite light aluminum (or so he tells me)... still after a new/good second hand one if anyone has one...

just using my other saws atm...

Cut4fun

Guys that know about shipping prices. Would it be better for soho to pay shipping from Sweden or Mid-west US? I have handles located in 2 places.

soho

havent checked back here in a while...

sounds promising cut4fun!

not sure about shipping costs, but i would think US price would be cheaper, maybe?

Cut4fun

The one in the mid-west is gone already, cash talked and I couldnt give him your answer the next day. The guy in Sweden said he would see if he had any extras and that is the last I heard from him.

If your serious pm me so I can let you know what the one was priced for handle only. I have no clue on shipping from here to you .

Now if you had enough

I would guess that shipping from the US is a lot cheaper than from Sweden, based on what I have read through the years.

Cut4fun

I found one, it is black and looks to includes extras like the lower AV parts. Get with the seller and talk to him about it. He wants $25 USD + shipping and he does ship international. I have dealt with him alot and top notch guy. Link being sent in pm.

Good Luck.
