    I don't know, but was wondering if the 555 orange cover fit the 562.

    I'd bet its a no go on the 372 to 576 cover though.

    Yep. I had my crappy grey 562 clutch cover powdercoated orange, but haven't put it on my saw yet. The color is off a little... Oh well.

    If you absolutely had to have all orange, you could swap a 550 crank and top end into a 545...

    The cover fit perfectly. ...

    I will say that you DO need to tighten the 2 mounting bolts before firing it up an going into a tree..... just sayin. .... no reason.
