Husky 435 parts help

It says 05-08. Does your saw have the holes there for the spike bar? You could compare that part # to the # of newer & older models to see if they all use the same.

This came from the Husqvarna website listing the parts for 05-11 years.

The parts are cheap enough to warrant taking a chance. You could also give Husqvarna a call and ask them directly. When I initially read your post I thought you bought a used saw - Sorry about that.

Either find a good after market set of dogs or go see your local Husky service guy and ask him what you need for the OEM dogs. He may not have any in the shop but could look it up pronto.

Just a thought to make your life easier. Obtain the carburetor spline adjusting tool at all costs. The 435s were notorious for being impossible to start with the factory carb settings. Before I got my carb tool, the only way I could start mine was to wedge my boot in the handle to give it full throttle. And it would not idle - the end.

Once a buddy of mine and I got the adjusting tool, it began to act as advertised. It is a wicked cool cutting machine once the high and low points are set. I got the chain saw file and guide kit from Husky as well. Chain touch ups take about ten minutes or less and life is very good!!

Bought the Husky parts for my 2013, spike and screws, and they installed perfectly. Parts were $11 I think, the spikes fit in the groove on the saw perfectly, it was obviously designed for the parts. The spikes themselves are a little on the light side so if you can find an aftermarket replacement part I would try it. At the end of the day it is only a 40cc saw with a 16" bar, the spikes don't need to be but so tuff.
