DANGER OF USING DIFFERENT MNUFACTURERS BAR ON SAW

[RIP]

I HAVE HUSQVARNA 142 16" AND I HAVE AN UNAMED 18 BAR,NOT SURE IF IT WAS FROM MY CRAFTSMAN OR NOT.WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF USING THIS ON THE HUSKY.I KNOW THE CHAIN BELONGS TO THE BAR BECAUSE I HAD IT WIRE TIED TO THE BAR?

If the pitch of the chain and your saw's sprocket are the same, and the oil holes line up, you should be good to go.

Don't worry, they are both Poulans anyway.....

In your case you have the correct replacement bar. Just double check alignment with all holes and match the sprocket as happysaws mentioned.

One little typo there? Should read sprocketS. Chain pitch must match that of both sprockets. If not, you'll likely know about it real quick.

They use the A041 bar which is one of the two most common mounts out there for smaller saws. If the tail is the same it will work and you just need the longer chain.

You must have skipped his last sentence where he mentions the bar and chain are already a match.
