Perhaps just different production dates.
You need to check the bulletins and IPL to see if there was changes made, I really doubt it, but it could have been.
Chainsaw nut!

Dang I'm confusing myself here. The pulley I took off  5031024-0 the 2 stamped on dial, 268 for 1987 shows 5031024 03 on IPL.

What would be the safe one to buy? 02 or 03 or are they the same or what.  ???

268 (1989-02) Chainsaw   
268 (1990-05) Chainsaw

61 (1988-06) Chainsaw   
66 (1987-06) Chainsaw

266 (1988-06) Chainsaw   
266 (1989-02) Chainsaw
266 (1990-01) Chainsaw   
281 (1989-02) Chainsaw
281 (1991-04) Chainsaw   
288 (1989-02) Chainsaw
288 (1991-04) Chainsaw

Looks like IPL dates, but goes only up to 1991, so a lot is missing.

Yeah right for 268 503102403

The metal part of the pulley is to short to reach the pawls. Go figure.  >:(

This time I bought a 5031024-05 if it turns out to long I can fix that. 2 short like the last new one I couldnt.

The last one was 2mm shorter then the one I took off. I think it was like (numbers are going to be wrong I  know going from my  memory yesterday). 16mm 03 was new one  18mm 02 I took off and 05 ones are suppose to be 23mm long.

Different housings as well you have to match the pulley with the right housing...

Sweet 503102405 to long just like weimedog posted in the pic. 5 mins on the side of grinder wheel and fits great and works like a charm. No more BS trying to find the right ones that dont work when they come in anyways and HALF the price to boot.

Where do I find the old style brake band in the 268 with metal hand brake handle? The one in the IPL looks different and newer style.

Anyone know the part # for the old style brake band for the metal handles?   Shown in pic above and is different then the new ones in IPL.

501830201 is the part number, but it's NLA from Husky. Only real option would be to get the entire new style side cover.

I like the old metal chain brakes. Little sandpaper and they shine up real nice on the old girls.  8)

New owner of 268/272 wanted the new updated 272 clutch cover. So I ended up getting one of these for him.  http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=QH+50373+6601&catID=

So I now have the husqvarna 268 272 61 metal handle chain brake cover (in pic above) that needs the NLA brake band or just run it without like I did.   Trades or sale out right.
