Husqvarna 585550068 Chainsaw Chain 18in 3/8 .050 68DL

Product Description

The HUSQVARNA 585550068 is an OEM replacement chainsaw chain designed for professional-grade and homeowner chainsaw models. This chain runs an 18-inch bar, features a 3/8-inch pitch, a .050-inch gauge, and 68 drive links. It is manufactured from steel and is built to OEM tolerances, which means proper fit on compatible bars without requiring filing adjustments out of the box. Licensed HVAC and power-equipment technicians, arborists, and landscaping professionals rely on OEM chains to maintain consistent cutting performance and reduce wear on guide bars and sprockets.

This chain is suited for residential and light commercial cutting applications where bar length and chain pitch must match the original equipment specification. It is a direct OEM replacement, making it appropriate for service shops stocking common wear parts and for field techs who carry backup chains. Compatible models include the Husqvarna 135 Mark II and T435, as well as other Husqvarna models spec'd for an 18-inch bar with 3/8-inch pitch and .050-inch gauge.

Key Features

• OEM part — manufactured to original equipment tolerances for precise bar fit
• 18-inch bar length compatibility
• 3/8-inch pitch for consistent cutter spacing and smooth cutting action
• .050-inch gauge matches standard Husqvarna bar groove dimensions
• 68 drive links — correct count for 18-inch bar applications
• Steel construction for durability under repeated cutting cycles

Compatibility

Compatible with Husqvarna 135 Mark II, T435, and other Husqvarna models using an 18-inch bar with 3/8-inch pitch and .050-inch gauge. Verify bar length, pitch, gauge, and drive link count against your saw's specification plate before ordering.

Installation Notes

Chain replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or experienced operator following the saw manufacturer's service manual. Disengage the chain brake and remove bar cover hardware before removing the worn chain. New chains require a break-in period at reduced load followed by re-tensioning, as the chain will stretch slightly under initial heat cycling. Never operate a chain that is improperly tensioned or missing its bar cover hardware.
