This is a genuine Husqvarna centrifugal clutch for professional petrol chainsaws.

It is a direct replacement for worn or slipping clutches and restores reliable power transfer from the engine to the sprocket. Designed for heavy-duty saws such as the Husqvarna 281 and 288, it suits demanding forestry, arborist and landscaping work. Genuine status ensures correct tolerances and compatibility with the original crankshaft and clutch drum. OEM No 503 70 15 02 (MPN 503701502).
