jonsered 2260 parts compatability

[David Young]

At work we have a 2260 that needs a new brake flag. When I looked it up on line the part is NLA and I didn't see anywhere that I could buy NOS. what parts change over to Husqvarna 555/562's? Do all the parts fit but the color is different?

Thanks

I am sure someone on here knows more than me but from what I can tell. 2260 and 562 have the same case but different brake handles because top cover and top handle are different. I have both so if someone doesn't come up with a good answer I could bolt the 562 flag up to the 2260 so you can see what it looks like

Since the 2260 uses a small mount bar, I'm thinking the case would be similar to a 555 or 560. I would think a brake flag for an earlier Husky 555 or 560 would work, but as you said, would be the wrong color. The 555 and 562 show different flag #'s, so I'm not sure that a 562 flag would fit. I'm not an expert, so hopefully someone else comes along to confirm or correct.

I think the main issue with using a 555 brake handle will be interference with the handlebar. It looks like the Jonsered handlebar sits forward on the unit more than the 555 handlebar does. It looks like the 2260 brake handle sticks out further as a result.

That is a good callout!

I don't know for sure - I've never had a 2260 so I'm going by pictures. I know on some of the older Jonsered saws, a Husky brake handle interferes with the handlebar.

And historically the jonsered had a straight across front handle.

Maybe it would work better to get a 562 flag and top handle?

Correct, Jonsereds have a straight top handle and Husqvarna is angled.

In order to do that you would then need the fuel tank to match the handlebar I believe.

Can put 562 handle on 2260 tank because I was going to swap mine over but didn't because I didn't like how brake handles lined up with stuff swapped around

There ya have it lol. I didn't realized they lined up.

local, former jonsered dealer said to put the 562 stuff on. I would need the gas tank, top handle also, because of the angles involved.

I don't think you need the gas tank but I can try swapping my handles if you would like to confirm

I am in a similar boat and would appreciate confirmation. My 2260 chain brake broke at the left hand bolt. I bought a chinese 555 handguard and cannot get it to work. It works without the chain/bar mounted, but when I activate the brake with everything buttoned up, something clicks out of place every time. The 555 chainguard I received was definitely different (ever so slightly), but I also wonder how much of that is because of the cheap part quality.

If I have time this weekend I will swap parts over from one saw to the other and take pictures
