Overview
This aftermarket 32-inch replacement chain is designed to fit select Husqvarna chainsaw models. Chains wear out through normal use — cutters dull, drive links thin, and the chain stretches beyond what the tensioner can compensate. This replacement matches factory specifications so you can swap it in and keep working without a trip to the service shop.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 32”
- Type: Semi-chisel (aftermarket replacement)
Compatibility
Engineered to match the specifications of select Husqvarna chainsaw models, this chain drops in without modification. Before ordering, verify the three critical numbers — pitch, gauge, and drive-link count — against the stamp on your guide bar. A mismatch in any one dimension means the chain won’t fit safely.
Installation notes
Before swapping the chain, set the saw on a stable surface and let the engine cool if gas-powered — or remove the battery on cordless models. Loosen the bar nuts, slide the bar forward to slacken the old chain, and lift it off the sprocket and bar nose. When seating the new 32-inch chain, make sure the cutters point forward along the top edge of the bar. Snug the bar nuts, then adjust the tensioning screw until the chain pulls away from the bar about 1/8 inch and snaps back cleanly.
Common questions
Q: Will the 585550005 32-inch chain fit my Husqvarna 555 if I’m running a 32-inch bar?
Yes, this chain is intended for the Husqvarna 555 when the saw is set up with a 32-inch bar and uses a 105-drive-link chain. The main thing to confirm is that your current bar and sprocket match the chain specs your saw is set up for, especially the drive link count and bar length.
Q: My old chain says 105 drive links—does that match this 585550005 replacement chain exactly?
Yes, this replacement is a 105-link chainsaw chain, so it matches a setup that calls for 105 drive links on a 32-inch bar. If your existing chain is the correct one for your bar, matching that 105-link count is the quickest way to confirm fit.
Q: Any tips for installing and maintaining this 32-inch chain on a Husqvarna 555?
When installing it, make sure the cutters face forward on the top of the bar and adjust tension so the chain seats in the bar groove but still pulls around by hand with gloves on. For maintenance, keep the chain properly sharpened, check tension after the first few cuts, and make sure the bar oil is flowing well since a 32-inch setup needs consistent lubrication.
