Your saw simply does not use a one-off chain, not possible. The bar, even though it had Husky painted on it is an Oregon. The chain, even though it has Husky stamped into it, is also Oregon. It is X pitch, X gauge, X number of drivers with X style cutters and safety links or not. You should get to know all this info as often a chain will fit a saw not listed on the fit up guides at the box stores.
Any real saw shop can fix you up with a proper chain in a jiffy and in most instances you can get even better performing chains than are sold at consumer outlets like you mentioned.

| | A few are close to "one of a kind." My Makita/Dolmar came with a 18" bar that takes full size 3/8" chain, .050" gauge with 66 drive links. That link count is a real oddity. No other bar on any other saw uses it that I know of. No big deal. I can just buy cheap 70 link chains for Stihl saws and shorten them. I've got a rivet-spinner here. Never heard of such a problem with plastic Husqvarna Ranchers. Generic .325" chain pitch, tang thickness of .050" or .058" and 78 drive links what many call a 20" bar (that actually cuts 18"-19").

| You are correct! When one considers all the types of chain and bar lengths that there are some uncommon combinations. My point was/is that NO saw chain is one off for some certain model saw, however the drive link count may be specific to a given model. Our differances being you are talking about loops and I am talking about the chain types. Anyway we are talking the same thing.
Guess what? My 1987 Dolmar 112 with 16" bar uses a 3/8 050 chain with 66 drivers Haha!

| That's funny - but it IS the same make. Just a different model. Makita owns Dolmar. They call it a 16" bar on your saw and an 18" bar on my Makita DCS510. Both with 66 drivers and full profile 3/8" chain.
