Question:
I have an old Husqvarna L65 chainsaw & need to replace the chain guides but am told they are now obsolete for this saw. The part #s are 501 24 41 01 and 501 24 42 01. Is there a substitute anywhere for these parts or is there another option I am missing?
Answer
hello chuck, it had been a long time since I had seen a saw with these guides but last month I repaired a Remington model RM5520 rodeo chainsaw. DESA international built these saws for 40+years but went bankrupt in 2009. MTD picked up the ball for Remington and continues to sell and market them today. sears sells this model rm5520. there are exploded parts views available to look thru on the internet and this model has chain guides ready to buy on sears parts direct for $3.99 for each plate. if the mount holes are not exactly right, it would take nothing more than very small drill bit and drill to modify. the part #'s are 753-06740 & 753-06488 the respective IPL #'s on exploded view is 37 & 39. I am certain these will work, and also I am sure that MTD sells these replacement parts as well, but I didn't look them up to find part numbers. sears also started having the craftsman brand built for them by Husqvarna so check out their parts network to see if you can find the old 65L originals. who knows? maybe you will find them.
good luck chuck, i'm out...

Thanks for the help. I ordered the guides from Sears today & I hope they work. If they don't work out of the package, I think I can make them work with some modification. At least it is not money invested.

those guides are wafer thin and very easy to shape. drilling a tiny hole thru will be instant. so I know you can work them in. just be completely certain that the inside guide does not impede or obstruct the oil channel in any way at all. that channel must remain clear and free flowing. ever need any real tech help just bark out. I can provide helpful tips on how to where any matter is concerned. I do not represent Husqvarna. but I repair a whole lot of their saws.
and you are more than welcome sir...
