Overview
Available as a 2-pack, this chain is a direct replacement for Husqvarna 135 models. A sharp chain means less effort, cleaner cuts, and safer operation compared to pushing through wood with worn teeth.
Key specifications

- Pitch: 3/8”
- Gauge: .050”
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
This chain is designed to fit Husqvarna 135. Always confirm your saw’s model number and bar length before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Installation notes
Power down the saw and disconnect the battery or spark plug lead. Remove the side cover and release bar tension. Take the old chain off the bar and sprocket, then thread the new chain into the bar groove, confirming the cutting edges face forward on the top rail. Set the tension so the chain pulls freely without sagging away from the bar, and do a brief test run to verify everything tracks correctly.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 16 inch chain fit my Husqvarna 135, or do I need to match anything besides the bar length?
Yes, this chain is intended for a Husqvarna 135 with a 16 inch bar, but you should still confirm your saw uses a 3/8 pitch setup before installing. It’s also smart to compare the existing chain markings on your current bar or chain so the replacement matches your exact cutting setup.
Q: I have a Husqvarna 135 and I’m replacing the chain myself—do I need to do anything special when installing these 16 inch 3/8 chains?
Make sure the cutters are facing forward on the top side of the bar, then set the chain tension so it sits snugly but still pulls around by hand with gloves on. After the first few cuts, recheck tension because a new chain will usually stretch slightly as it seats in.
Q: How often should I sharpen and maintain these 16 inch saw chains on my Husqvarna 135?
Touch up the chain as soon as you notice it pulling to one side, making fine dust instead of chips, or requiring extra pressure to cut. Keep the chain properly tensioned and make sure your bar oil is flowing well, since a sharp chain with poor lubrication will still wear quickly.
