Hard to tell the diff. from a 350 or the 142 .
Bearings were good on both saws.( that bolt was just so I could take the pics)
I had to change out the chain on the 142 ..not much teeth on the drive side of the chain..
Oh ya the noise is gone..
 
I had that happen a couple of years back with my 350. It started breaking chains it was so bad.
Changing the clutch was pretty simple. Now I keep an eye on the teeth whenever I change a chain.
