Westcoast Saw Clutch Cover for Husqvarna Chainsaws

The Westcoast Saw clutch cover for Husqvarna chainsaws is an aftermarket replacement for a cracked, worn or lost side cover. Westcoast Saw is known among arborists for parts and upgrades for the saws tree crews actually run.

When the side cover needs replacing

The clutch cover clamps the bar and covers the clutch and sprocket. On tree saws it takes hits from limbs, gets dropped, and has its bar-nut seats crushed by years of cranking down with a scrench. Once it is cracked or the seats are worn, the bar can creep and chain tension will not hold.

This cover is a direct swap for the original part on the models it is listed for. Confirm your saw model before ordering, since Husqvarna covers differ between models and generations.

Aftermarket covers are popular with crews who would rather keep a spare in the truck than wait for a dealer order. If your crew runs a fleet of the same Husqvarna model, a spare cover in the parts box means a broken saw is back in service the same day.

Fitting and checking

Clean packed chips out of the clutch area, check the sprocket and clutch drum for wear, and confirm the chain catcher is in place. Fit the cover, tension the chain, then snug the bar nuts. Test the chain brake before cutting and wear full saw PPE. For more service parts see our parts section.

When ordering, have the saw's model and serial plate handy so the cover can be matched to the right version the first time.
