Husqvarna and Craftsman question

[David McGrath]

I recently bought a Craftsman saw on Marketplace. Could someone tell me what model of Husqvarna it crosses over too. I think Poulan had a hand in it too. The clutch cover is marked Husqvarna on it's inside. I'm going to need a chain break band and I'm not having any luck in getting the correct model number of Husqvarna it is used on. Craftsman parts diagram shows nothing but a complete side cover that is no longer available. The Craftsman model is 358.350981. 20"bar. 50cc engine. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

It looks like the Craftsman 358.350981 is really just a fresh face for the Poulan Pro lineup. It probably shares a lot of its basic design with the Poulan 295 or something similar. You might even find that it has some of the same parts as those older Husqvarna 235 or 240 models. If you're on the hunt for brake band parts, I'd suggest starting with the Poulan 295 first.

Its basically a rebadged Husqvarna 340/345/350 series. The clutch cover and brake parts usually go well with those models, so you can check Husqvarna part numbers for the 340/345/350 chainsaws, that's usually your best bet for replacement bands and springs.
