Husqvarna 455/460 Rancher Chainsaw Chain Replacement: 24-Inch Bar

If you run a Husqvarna 455 Rancher or 460 Rancher with a 24-inch guide bar, this replacement chain is intended for that setup. It is a 3/8-inch pitch, .050-inch gauge chain with 84 drive links, and it also fits a range of other saws that use the same bar-and-chain spec.

Will this chain fit your saw?

To confirm fitment, match all four chain specs on your current setup:

• Bar length: 24 inch
• Pitch: 3/8 inch
• Gauge: .050 inch
• Drive links: 84

If even one of those measurements is different, the chain may not fit correctly. Bar length alone is not enough, because many 24-inch bars use different drive-link counts or gauge sizes.

For this product, the listed fitment includes these Husqvarna models with the above 24-inch chain spec:

• 455 Rancher
• 460 Rancher
• 555
• 562XP
• 365 / 565
• 576XP
• 385XP
• 390XP
• 395XP
• 3120XP
• 372XP / 572XP

This chain is also listed to fit these 24-inch Stihl models when they use the same chain dimensions:

• MS 362
• MS 391
• MS 462C

The listing also identifies these replacement part numbers:

• Oregon E84
• Oregon 72LG084G
• Oregon 72RD084G
• Oregon 72LG-84
• Oregon 72LGX084G
• Husqvarna 591119484
• Husqvarna H46-84
• Husqvarna H47-84
• Husqvarna H80-84
• Echo 72LPX84CQ
• Stihl 33RS384E

If your current chain or bar shows one of those numbers and your saw is running a 24-inch bar, that is a strong sign this is the correct replacement.

A quick note for Husqvarna 455 Rancher and 460 Rancher owners: these saws are often found with shorter bars as well. That means you should verify your actual bar length and chain spec rather than ordering only by saw model name.

Replacing the chain

Use safe chain-change habits every time:

1. Shut the saw off completely, let it cool, and disconnect the spark plug before working near the chain.
2. Remove the clutch cover, then back off the chain tension so the old chain can be lifted off the bar and drive sprocket.
3. Clean the bar groove, oil holes, and clutch-cover area before installing the new chain.
4. Fit the new chain around the drive sprocket and onto the bar, making sure the cutter direction is correct along the top of the bar.
5. Reinstall the clutch cover and adjust tension so the chain sits snugly in the bar groove but can still be pulled around by hand with a gloved hand.
6. Tighten the bar nuts securely, then recheck tension after a short test run since a new chain can stretch slightly during initial use.

If the chain will not tension properly, do not force it. Recheck that your bar is truly a 24-inch, 3/8-inch, .050-inch, 84-drive-link setup.

Keeping it sharp

A sharp chain cuts faster, tracks straighter, and puts less strain on your 455 Rancher or 460 Rancher.

• Keep the chain out of dirt, rocks, and old fencing. Even brief contact can dull cutters quickly.
• Check chain tension often, especially during the first few cuts with a new chain. A loose chain wears the bar faster and cuts poorly.
• Maintain proper bar-and-chain oil flow. If the chain runs dry, it will lose its edge sooner and wear the drive links and bar rails more quickly.

If cutting speed drops and you find yourself pushing the saw through the wood, it is usually time to sharpen or replace the chain.

FAQ

Will this fit every Husqvarna 455 Rancher or 460 Rancher?
No. It fits those models only when they are equipped with a 24-inch bar using 3/8-inch pitch, .050-inch gauge, and 84 drive links.

Can I use this chain if my saw is in the 50–100 cc range?
Only if the bar and chain specs match. The listing states this chain is for chainsaw sizes 50–100 cc, but correct pitch, gauge, bar length, and drive-link count are what determine actual fitment.
