Aftermarket Rancher clutch covers

[59billy]

Are any of the aftermarket Husqvarna Rancher clutch covers any good, or is this another "OEM or die" part?

Are you talking about the 50,51,55 or one of the later model Ranchers?

The later ones like the 460. I'm looking at it as an upgrade to the 345/346/353 series.

I think the chain tensioner method is different between the 460 and 353/346. Might still work though if you remove the tensioner on the 353/346.

I bought an aftermarket clutch cover for a 445 a while back that seemed well made and it was like 10 bucks.

Here’s some details I just found https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/346xp-clutch-cover-swap.259474/

I got an aftermarket clutch cover for a 55 Rancher and it worked well. I will probably get another since I have another 55 to build out.

Put one of these on my 346 seems to work just fine. Tensioner was a little crunchy the first couple turns but other than that seems fine
