So we got dad's old 288 out the other day and ended up needing to replace a fuel line. Back up and running like a top. When he was putting the bar back on, i saw that there was TONS of room between the bar and the studs. Like alot of room. We didn't have a stihl around to see if it was a stihl mount bar and the paint and laser etching was rubbed off (oregon bar) so I went to the bar stash and pulled out a husky 24" bar that I have a few of. When we tried to put it on the saw, its was just a fudge too small to go the whole way up on the studs and the tensioner hole was too high. I know for a fact that these bars fit on my 562. So what all do these bars fit?
And what bar do I need for the 288? I'm not big on bar mount numbers and such so I figured you guys could simplify it a bit.

I have heard there are different husky bars for pro saws vs homeowner saws and ive also heard that there are different ones for older saws. I've never had this issue with a bar before mainly because all I use is stihl or new huskys. So what is it. Age or Type

You can put an s clip on the bar now and run it
Or round spacers over the bar studs to take up the extra clearance.

D009 for large mount Husqvarna

What saws have the large mounts? just older ones or the 80cc+ saws? If i remember correctly 365 and 372 are the smaller one?? I may be completely off my rocker. I might just go back to being one of those guys that doesn't use a bar unless it says my make and model on the wrapper lol

365, 372, 390, 395, 3120, 288, etc are all D009

I will trade you a nice carbed v1 ms261 for
That 288
And you won't have to worry about it.

562's are also 009 large mount.

Really? I know these bars fit my 562 as that's what I am running on that saw?? Is there any chance that the 288 has different studs or that they have been changed?

Edit: So these bars must be the 009 mount. I know I have run one on my 562 and now that I'm thinking i have had one on a 365. So what's the deal with the 288lite? Are we sure that it is this mount? I could see the bar studs being changed but how would the tensioner be in the wrong spot?

Sure, was case modified or changed? I now understand, it's not my problem.

Im stumped. I know these bars fit 562, 365. But I also see on parts lists that a 288 is a 009 mount. Plus what you guys are saying. Case is stock. I will have to do some more looking at the saw and bar tomorrow. The bar may have been in the wrong package ( I got them from a flea market) And dad tried to put it on, I didn't even look at it. He may just be doing something wrong
Thanks for the help

Yeah I'm going to chock this one up as dad not putting the bar on right. Case hasn't been modified, I know the bars fit other saws. I know they all have the same mount.. yada yada yada I think he's doing it wrong. Might be that this particular bar was in the wrong packaging as I know 2 of the other bars in the lot do fit d009 mounts. Still think he is just doing it wrong

Part number of the bar is 6080000-23 I do believe this is a small mount bar...

Upon further research and looking through the buildings and fiddling with saws, out of the 6 bars I bought that day, 1 was the smaller mount and the rest are the d009. The one that I happened to pull out and use today ended up being the small one

I appreciate all the help guys

They will fit but the oil hole and bar adjuster can be all over the map in 9.1 or 9.2 slots in the tail.
Glad you got it sorted
