Questions people ask

What size chain does a Poulan PP338PT take?

The Poulan PP338PT with an 8" bar takes 3/8" LP pitch, .043" gauge chain with 34 drive links (Oregon R34).

What bar fits a Poulan PP338PT?

A bar with the A041 mount, in one of these lengths: 8".

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.
