Question:
OK. I just bought a new Husqvarna chainsaw, model 316EL, a week ago. I can't believe how difficult it's been to try to find additional chains! I've narrowed i down to either H37 or H36-56 but not sure which one or if it's either.
Husqvarna 316EL
2000720
01203597
Which # above is actually the serial number?
Also, is a carbide chain available for this chainsaw?
Thrilled with it so far - except for the chain replacement part! LOL

Answer
Cindy,
The 316E for a 16 inch bar, uses an Oregon chain # :
This can be easily cross referenced to a Husqvarna #: H36, Your chainsaw uses a 3/8 pitch, .050 gauge bar and drive link thickness, and 56 drive links, Lo profile chain.
DO NOT USE an H37 chain this is the wrong pitch, it is a .325 pitch chain.
SN# is 01203597, the first two digits are the date of manufacture.
I hope the above information helps.
PS. A great link is Oregonchain.com, which has tutorials, and will provide lots of info about, chains, chain types, pitch, gauge, etc, etc.
