How do I find out what Craftsman chainsaw I have?
To find out which Craftsman chainsaw you have, locate the model number on the saw’s ID label and match it to the parts listing. For this page, the model is Craftsman 358352110, so any label showing 358352110 confirms it.
Where to look for the model number label
On most Craftsman gas chainsaws, the model/serial label is on the saw body, not on the bar or chain. Check these common spots:
- On the starter housing (recoil cover) near the pull cord
- On the rear handle area near the throttle trigger
- On the underside of the saw body near the fuel and bar-oil caps
- Near the muffler side of the engine housing
- On the crankcase area behind the clutch cover
How to confirm you have model 358352110
Once you find the label, use this quick checklist:
- The label includes 358352110 (exact match)
- The brand reads Craftsman
- The saw uses a 14-inch guide bar setup (common for this model)
- The replacement cutting components match the parts list, such as the 14 guid bar 140SDEA041 and chain 91PX052G
If the label is missing or unreadable
You can still identify the saw by matching key service parts and fitment:
| What you can match | What it helps confirm |
|---|---|
| Bar length and mount pattern | Narrows the correct guide bar and chain family |
| Chain pitch/gauge and drive link count | Confirms the correct chain specification |
| Fuel line routing and tank pickup | Helps match fuel system parts |
A practical next step is to compare your bar and chain to the parts above, then use the diagrams and parts list for model 358352110 to verify other components.
Why it matters
Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong bar, chain, or fuel system parts. Even small differences in mount pattern or chain specs can cause poor cutting performance or unsafe operation.

How long is a 72 drive link chainsaw chain?
A 72 drive link (DL) chainsaw chain is not defined by inches alone; its fit is determined by pitch and gauge plus the bar’s sprocket and nose. In practice, 72 DL is most commonly used on 20-inch bars, but you must match pitch and gauge to your bar.
What “72 drive links” actually tells you
Drive links are the teeth that ride in the guide bar groove. The number of drive links mainly sets the chain’s loop length, but it only fits correctly when these specs match:
- Drive link count: 72 DL
- Pitch: commonly 3/8 in. or .325 in. (must match the bar and sprocket)
- Gauge: commonly .050 in., .058 in., or .063 in. (must match the bar groove)
- Bar length and bar tip sprocket: affects required DL count
Quick fit check (what to measure)
Use this checklist before ordering a chain for your Craftsman 358352110 chainsaw:
- Read the stamp on the guide bar (often lists pitch, gauge, and DL)
- Measure gauge if the stamp is unreadable (bar groove width)
- Confirm the sprocket pitch matches the chain pitch
- Count drive links on your old chain if you are unsure it is original
Common 72 DL setups (typical, not universal)
| Drive links | Typical bar length | Common pitch | Common gauge |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72 | 20 in. | 3/8 in. | .050 in. |
| 72 | 20 in. | .325 in. | .050 in. |
Why it matters
If pitch or gauge is wrong, the chain will not seat in the bar groove correctly, can derail, and can damage the bar, sprocket, and clutch. For safe operation, follow how to prevent chainsaw injuries.

How many drive links are in a 16 inch chainsaw?
A 16-inch chainsaw chain does not have one fixed drive-link count. Drive links depend on the bar’s pitch and gauge, plus the exact bar and sprocket setup. For the Craftsman 358352110, confirm the bar and chain specs before buying a replacement.
What determines the drive-link count?
Drive links are the “teeth” on the bottom of the chain that ride in the guide bar groove. The correct count is set by the bar and chain specification, not just the bar length.
Common factors:
- Bar length (16-inch is only one piece of the fit)
- Pitch (for example, 3/8 low profile vs. .325)
- Gauge (chain thickness that matches the bar groove)
- Bar tail mount pattern and sprocket type
- Wear or mismatched parts (a swapped bar can change everything)
Typical drive-link counts for many 16-inch setups
These are common examples you will see in the field; use them as a starting point, not a guarantee.
| Bar length | Common pitch | Common gauge | Common drive links |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 in. | 3/8 low profile | .043 | 56 |
| 16 in. | 3/8 low profile | .050 | 57 or 58 |
| 16 in. | .325 | .050 | 66 |
How to confirm the correct drive links (fast)
Use one of these methods:
- Count the drive links on your current chain (best method if the chain fits correctly).
- Look for the stamp on the guide bar (often lists pitch, gauge, and sometimes drive links).
- Match your replacement to the bar and chain you are using; for this model, a common reference point is the 14-inch chain listed as chain 91PX052G.
Why it matters
If the drive-link count is off by even 1 to 2 links, the chain will not tension correctly. That can cause throwing the chain, poor cutting performance, and accelerated wear on the bar and sprocket.

Where is the model number on my Craftsman chainsaw?
On a Craftsman chainsaw like model 358352110, the model number is printed on a small ID label or stamped plate on the saw body. Most often, you will find it on the engine housing (motor casing), near the rear handle, or on the underside of the saw.
Common places to check on model 358352110
Look for a sticker, foil label, or stamped marking in these spots:
- Side of the engine housing near the starter cover
- Rear handle area (near where your right hand grips)
- Bottom of the saw body (underside of the crankcase area)
- Near the bar mount studs (where the guide bar and chain attach)
- Around the fuel and oil cap area
How to record the model number correctly
Once you find the label, write it down exactly as shown so you can match parts to your saw.
- Copy every digit in order (example: 358352110)
- Include any extra suffix numbers or letters if present
- Take a clear photo before the label gets dirty or worn
- Clean the label gently with a dry rag if it is oily (avoid solvents)
Why it matters
The model number is how we match the correct Craftsman chainsaw parts and diagrams to your exact build. Even small differences can change which guide bar, chain, fuel line, or carburetor parts fit.
| What you need | Where you use it | Example for this saw |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | To pull the correct parts list and diagrams | 358352110 |
| Part ID | To order the exact replacement part | 91PX052G |
| Part name | To confirm you are choosing the right component | Chain |
If you are replacing cutting components after you identify the model, common matches for this saw include the chain 91PX052G and the 14 guid bar 140SDEA041.
