STIHL MS362 double felling dogs /spikes

[XSKIER]

I'm looking to add a set of the bigger bumper spikes to my little saw. I've not talked to my local dealer yet. I see them on Bailey's and eBay. I would like to know if the MS440 and MS362 use the same dogs. Also, if any of y'all were buying them, who would you buy them from. What's better, four spike or five spike?

Do you have a lot of thick bark timber in Michigan? Seems like the large dawgs would be waste on the 362. I like double dawgs on most saws, but I would opt for the smaller ones.

Some of our larger cottonwood trees can grow really thick bark. I mainly want them for aesthetics, side cover protection, and off perpendicular cuts. I'm going to check with my dealer later, but what do you think of these?

Those dogs in the links look nice. I think the stock dogs on the 36x's are way too small and only grab half the time I want them to. I have 044 dogs in my 036, it looks good and grabs easy.

I noticed that the eBay dogs don't seem to have the chain catcher roller in the bag of hardware. I had my dealer order in a set,1135-650-7750, which should be the entire kit. I'll update in a couple of days.

Alright, the dawgs are in! Turns out that they are exactly the same size as the original dog, with the addition of a lower spike with the chain catcher. I was hoping that the new dawgs would go up a little bit higher, but I'm happy enough with them anyway. They sit at the perfect height when the saw is setting down. The spikes do not hold the saw up and teter or hang up too high.

they left out the 260 and 261 in the paper work

That is what I was referring to in previous post, nice set up. :msp_thumbsup:

I'll have to order some for mine :msp_w00t:

hope you don't mind brad had to borrow your pic

H2H you need to put a small washer in here as a spacer to push the roller pin out farther into the outer dawg
as the spacing on the 261 is wider than the others

it's neeter and looks a lot better than just bending the dawg cheers

THX for the info :msp_biggrin:

I could always go to the shop and turn a spacer

Try putting the nut and ccatcher on the clutch cover, which is correct. That way its not on the saw when trying to change the chain

Thank You

Thanks for the part number, I just had the dealer order a set for my 362. Tired of not being able to get a bite when I am undercutting a notch. Curious what you paid, I was quoted 35.99.

I just removed the original dawgs on my MS361, and never missed them!

Just another angle on the matter. :msp_wink:

Well over here we cut real wood not toothpicks and popsicle sticks. Removing the dawgs must've been for better sideways balance?

 

[XSKIER]

The double dog kit was the same price here.

I'm all aboot sideways balance, while in the cut, and with an inboard clutch Stihl the dawgs balance just fine!

Saw troll must be using a 36" bar or something like that to keep the powerhead away from the wood?

Very good lookin saw. What size bar is that?
