Craftsman 358351060 chainsaw Parts

On the Craftsman 358351060 gas chainsaw, we look for the serial number on the engine area: it’s typically stamped into the motor housing or crankcase on a flat spot near the muffler, or printed on a decal attached to the unit. Use the serial number to match parts and service information.

Where to check on the saw

Look in these common locations first:

• On a decal (label) attached to the unit (often on the housing)
• Stamped into the motor housing
• Stamped into the crankcase
• On a flat surface to the left or right of the muffler when viewing from the top
• Near the starter housing area (close to the recoil starter)

How to use the serial number once you find it

The serial number helps confirm production details when ordering parts or getting repair help.

What you’re doing	What to use	Why it helps
Ordering parts	Model number + part ID/part number	Ensures correct fit for your exact build
Getting service	Model number + serial number	Helps identify the unit version
Checking documentation	Model number	Matches diagrams and adjustment procedures

For model identification and parts ordering details, use the 358351060 owner's manual.

Why it matters

Chainsaws can have small design changes within the same model family. Having the serial number (along with model 358351060) reduces the chance of ordering the wrong fuel system, ignition, or clutch-related parts.

For the Craftsman 358351060 gas chainsaw, we recommend a 40:1 fuel mix (regular unleaded gasoline premixed with high-quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil). Using 50:1 reduces lubrication and can lead to overheating, poor performance, and engine damage. See the 358351060 owner's manual for the fuel mixture chart and mixing steps.

What 40:1 means (and how much oil to add)

A 40:1 mix is 40 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-cycle oil.

• 1 gallon gasoline: add 3.2 oz 2-cycle (air-cooled) oil
• Premix in a clean, approved fuel container (not in the saw’s fuel tank)
• Use fresh regular unleaded gasoline
• Use 2-cycle oil labeled for air-cooled engines

Mix ratio	Oil per 1 gallon gas	Best use case
40:1	3.2 oz	Required for Craftsman 358351060
50:1	2.6 oz	Only for engines specifically rated for 50:1

Oil type rules that prevent engine damage

Using the right oil matters as much as the ratio.

• Use high-quality 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED)
• Do not use automotive motor oil
• Do not use marine 2-cycle oils (NMMA/TC-W3 type)
• If you are not using Craftsman 40:1 oil with stabilizers, add a fuel stabilizer for storage

Why it matters

This chainsaw’s 2-cycle engine depends on oil mixed into the fuel to lubricate bearings and other moving parts. Too little oil (or the wrong oil) increases friction and heat, which can cause hard starting, rough running, and seizure.

Related maintenance tip

Your saw typically uses about one tank of bar oil per tank of fuel mix. Keeping bar and chain lubrication topped off helps reduce chain wear and overheating.

On the Craftsman 358351060 gas chainsaw, the model number is printed on a decal attached to the saw (the manual notes the model and serial number are found on the product). Use the model number when ordering parts and service. See the 358351060 owner's manual for the exact identification details.

Where to look on the saw

We typically see the model/serial decal in one of these easy-to-check spots:

• On the main housing near the rear handle
• On the starter (recoil) side of the housing
• Near the fuel tank area
• On the underside of the saw body where it stays protected
• Near the bar mounting area (clutch cover side)

What information to record (and why)

The operator's manual recommends recording key ID details and keeping them in a safe place. That helps you match the correct Craftsman parts, like a fuel cap assembly, carburetor, or guide bar.

Item to record	What it’s used for
Model number (example: 358351060)	Identifies the correct parts list and diagrams
Date code/serial number	Helps match production variations
Date of purchase	Useful for maintenance tracking and service history

Why it matters

Chainsaws often have multiple versions that look similar but use different parts (fuel line routing, carburetor setup, bar/chain fit). Using the exact model number helps prevent ordering the wrong component and reduces downtime.
