There is a written rule in chainsaw land that refers to using the wrong brand parts for the wrong brand chainsaw. In other words, don’t do it.

For example, Stihl chainsaw parts are designed for Stihl chainsaws. If you have a Husqvarna model and are in need of an air filter then resist the temptation to use another brand’s air filter simply because it’s cheaper.

In many cases, you’ll be wasting your hard-earned money and even worse, could be damaging your saw. The use of Stihl chainsaw parts for Stihl chainsaws is just common sense.

Stihl Chainsaw Parts

Have you given thought to hanging on to an older chainsaw for a little longer by virtually rebuilding it with new parts. Yes technology is increasing at a rapid pace and many love to get their hands on the newest and the best but if your saw has been pretty reliable over the years why get rid of it; especially if you are a homeowner who uses their saw infrequently.

By replacing the parts which need to be replaced at any given time, you can keep that trusty old chainsaw working longer.

Here’s a list of chainsaw parts which may need attention during the life of a saw:

- Bars
- Air Filters
- Cylinders
- Fuel Filter
- Trimmer parts
- Cut off saw parts

There are several other parts which fall underneath the above categories. So how expensive are most of these parts? The question you should ask is whether you simply replace a part for a few dollars or go to the expense of buying a new saw. Don’t laugh, it happens.

For example, There are several models in the Stihl range. Stihl chainsaw parts are available in any number of forms but we’ll use air filters as an example. Replacing an air filter shouldn’t cost more than $30 for the more expensive models while air filters for the lighter models can cost less than $10.

Obviously chainsaw guide bars are a “different kettle of fish” and much more expensive to replace but again, is it worth simply getting rid of your current machine for a brand new one?
