Chain Brake Band for Husqvarna Saws

This three-piece set replaces the original chain brake band on compatible Husqvarna chainsaws. It fits models 61, 66, 268, 272 XP, 281, 288 and 288 EPA across the listed production years. The part is designed for two-stroke, single-cylinder petrol saws and matches OEM reference 503704002.

Straightforward Swap with Basic Tools

Installation requires removing the clutch cover and clutch drum to access the brake assembly. The band sits in a groove around the clutch drum and is held by a spring and pivot pin. Common issues include losing the small return spring during disassembly or fitting the band backwards so the anchor hole does not align with the lever.

Verify Model and Year Before Ordering

Check the model plate on your saw and confirm the production year falls within the ranges shown for each model number. The brake assembly changed during the 1997 to 2001 period, so a 288 from 1997 uses a different band than a 288 EPA from 2001. Cross-reference your OEM part number with 503704002 to be certain.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 503704002 brake band is working after fitting it to my 272 XP?

Engage the chain brake lever and verify the chain stops instantly; release the lever and confirm the chain rotates freely when the throttle is applied.

The listing says 3pcs/lot — does the pack contain three complete brake bands or do I need extra springs or screws?

The package includes three brake bands only; springs, screws and the brake lever assembly are not supplied and must be sourced separately if worn.

My saw is a 288 EPA built in 2001 — which of the listed model years covers that unit?

The 288 EPA entries for 2001-10 include your saw, so this brake band is the correct replacement for that production period.
