I have a Husqvarna model 42 chainsaw. It is serial number 9440485. It has an 18 inch bar. I inherited the saw and it needs a new bar.
Question is what bar does it take, or more specifically what chain size. I have a suspicion that the bar is incorrect. Existing bar is 18" .058" drive width .325" drive length and 72 drive teeth. Dealer sold me a bar that is the same but a .050" width. Funny thing about the saw it came with a .050, .058, and .063" chain--the .050 was in the .058 bar so it was shot.
What was it supposed to have--having a hard time finding information on this model.
Thanks,
