Contrary to previous reviews stating this will not correctly fit the discontinued Craftsman 16" chain saw, This Poulans 576180701 chain drive sprocket works fine. The original Craftsman drive sprocket consisted of a plain sprocket sandwiched between two washers to retain the chain. This substitute part incorporates a side flange as part of the sprocket casting. There is no way for the chain to jump out of the sprocket. Install this part with the sprocket flange facing the drive motor and install the chain over it. Easy as can be! I purchased this part expecting to have to machine it to be narrow enough to install the additional washer and clip. Machining was not needed and the washer and clip were not used. I now have a working Chainsaw that was headed to the trash because of the unavailable Sprocket. Life is good! Read full review

I searched everywhere for a Craftman chainsaw parts and they are out of stock purchased out of a whim and to my surprise it fits and works even better than the original part now the chain does not fall out of place at all. My chainsaw is a Craftman Model 071-34546.

This Sprocket Kit (part no. 57618071) does NOT fit a Craftsman 16 in. Electric Chainsaw Model no. 071-34546. The spindle that the sprocket is supposed to fit over is not long enough to add a washer or retaining clip. Using this Sprocket Kit on Model no. 071-34546 would leave the chain dangerously unsecured. Please note that the previous review by Georgiorafaelme on Apr 03, 2020 was not for this specific part nor this specific Seller. After extensive research, I was unable to find a replacement part that fits, so I disposed of my Craftsman, and replaced it with a Kobalt 18 in. electric chainsaw at a very reasonable price.
