385 clutch cover casing ,

[SawTroll]

Hi Guys , recently got a 385 xp and have discovered the the clutch side cover is damaged , whoever had it previously repeatedly used excessive force to tighten the bar nuts or it got jammed in a big log or something which has cracked the casing and buckled it a bit which has over time worn the alloy away and the bar tensioner will only travel 2/3 of the way up due to the distortion , it still works ok but its irrititating me now , anyone have a decent casing they could sell me ? , its the same casing fitted to most of the bigger 3 series saws , 365/371/372/385 390 and the 570/575 , OEM part No is 537 00 40 with side adjuster

thanks for any input

The use of the word "casing" is a bit confusing here - but believe the question really is about the clutch cover?

 

If so, the same covers will fit all those models (and more), but the 371s and many 365s had a front chain adjuster (and no adjuster in the cover).

Different part numbers can be about color, minor changes in production, and of course standard vs. wide.
