How to look up chainsaw serial number?
For the Craftsman electric chainsaw model 358341140, we look up the serial number by first finding it on the saw’s identification label or stamp, then using that exact number when ordering parts or checking documentation like the 358341140 operator’s manual. On many chainsaws, the serial is on the motor housing area.
Serial numbers are typically placed where they stay readable but protected from heavy wear.
- Check the motor housing on either side of the saw body
- Look near the power cord entry or recessed plug area
- Inspect around the bar mounting area (near the bar nuts and side cover)
- Look for a stamped flat spot or a printed label on the housing
- Wipe off oil and sawdust; serial labels can be hard to see when dirty
The exact format varies by production run, but these are common patterns.
| Item | What it’s used for | Typical format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the product family | 358341140 |
| Serial number | Identifies your specific unit | Often 8 to 12 characters (numbers and/or letters) |
- Parts matching: Some parts can change by production run
- Documentation: Confirms you are using the correct manual and diagrams
- Service history: Helps track the exact unit if you keep maintenance records
Using the correct serial number helps prevent ordering the wrong chain, bar, or hardware for your Craftsman 358341140. If you are replacing cutting components, match the size and style shown in the manual and parts list; for example, the chain 91PX052G and bar 140SDEA041 are common replacement items for this model.

How do you tell the year of a chainsaw?
You tell the year of a chainsaw by finding its identification tag (model and serial number) and decoding the serial number format used by that brand. For Craftsman electric chainsaw model 358341140, the most reliable path is to match the serial number on your saw to the identification details shown in the owner's manual.
Check these common locations on an electric chainsaw:
- The rating plate or ID tag on the motor housing
- Near the rear handle area
- Along the power cord entry point (where the cord enters the housing)
- On a sticker near the trigger switch or lockout button area
- On the original carton label (if you still have it)
Write down both the model number (358341140) and the serial number exactly as shown.
Craftsman date coding varies by era and supplier, so we use a practical approach:
- Confirm the model first: Make sure the tag shows 358341140.
- Record the serial number format: note the number of digits, any letters, and whether it starts with a prefix.
- Compare to documentation: use the identification and reference sections in the owner's manual to confirm you are decoding the correct unit.
- Use purchase clues (when available): the receipt date, warranty start date, or original packaging often narrows the year quickly.
| What you see on the tag | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Letters plus numbers | Encoded plant/date or supplier code | Copy it exactly; decode by prefix pattern |
| Numbers only (6 to 9 digits) | Internal production sequence | Use receipt/warranty date to narrow year |
| Multiple lines of codes | Model plus separate serial/date code | Use the line labeled serial or S/N |
Knowing the approximate year helps us match the correct bar, chain, and hardware so your saw cuts safely and fits correctly. For example, this model commonly uses a 14-inch bar and matching chain options such as the chain 91PX052G and bar 140SDEA041.
If you are servicing the saw while you identify it, these common wear and fastener items are often needed:
- Chain 91PX052G (cutting performance and safety)
- Bar 140SDEA041 (straight tracking and reduced binding)
- Lawn & garden equipment flange nut 530015251 (bar/cover fastening)
- Lawn & garden equipment screw 534222402 (cover/handle fastening)
