Husqvarna 535i chain and bar swap

[DaveOB]

Hi
Can I change the bar and chain combo on this saw to a larger chain?
Currently its running 14' 0.325" 0.043". With the type of cutting I do I seem to get little life out of these mini chains.

I would like to run 12" 3/8 LP in a 0.050 guage but I don't think Husqvarna makes this bar.
I have petrol saws as well but this is a great saw to throw in a backpack and clear trails.
Thanks

What about 3/8LP in .043? That's a recommended combo in the owners manual.

You want to run a larger chain? 12” LP is smaller in every way than the 14” .325”. Gauge is just the bar slot width (match to the chain drive part, obviously)

If you’re set up for .325, you’re going to need new sprocket/rim and bar for the 3/8 LP.
