Questions people ask

What size chain does a Husqvarna 436LI take?

The Husqvarna 436LI takes 3/8" LP pitch, .043" gauge chain. Drive links by bar length: 10" bar 40, 12" bar 45, 14" bar 52.

How many drive links is a Husqvarna 436LI chain?

It depends on the bar: 40 on a 10" bar, 45 on a 12" bar, 52 on a 14" bar. The bar length is usually printed near the mount.

Can I use a chain with the same length but different pitch?

No. Pitch and gauge have to match the bar and sprocket, and the drive link count has to match the bar. A chain that is off on any of the three will not fit or run safely.
