here are some better pics of the dual dogs on my 032, now I need to find a 3/4 wrap handle bar for it.
I got the three kits tonight that I ordered. I put one on my 261. The inner dawg is the same size as the original, except the bottom spike is larger. That's a good thing. I drilled the holes out for the outer dawg and installed it. The supplied 5mm bolts are 12mm long, and are too short. The threads do catch, but need to be longer. This is because the 261 clutch cover is not recessed in the area where the dawg bolts on. For the same reason, the chain catcher does not go into the hole as it should. It needs to do so to provide support in the event of throwing a chain. A slight bent to the dawg and it's good to go. I'll order new 5 x 16 bolts tomorrow. I give the kit a thumbs up. It makes the saw rock steady, such that it won't roll around in the bed of your truck. I also like that they're not much larger than stock. They don't need to be on a 50cc saw.

Brad, the roller chain catcher is supposed to be bolted to the outside spike.

I realize that, but way prefer it on the inner spike. Just continuing the Husky theme

To each his own. That leaves it in the way when installing the bar and chain.

Nothing but 32:1
looks good ,Brad looks like there is plenty of left over thread on the catcher ,and by fitting a washer or spacer between the inner dawg and catcher it will bring it across enough that you can straighten the outer dawg

I did notice that. That would definately be a better solution.

Likewise.
I used a nylon bushing to bring the chain roller out further into the outside spike now, And the nut ends up right even with the threads. The original pics don't show this addition. I also use longer bolts on the outside cover but had to change to non-metric to get just the right length, the metrics that were available were too long. Worked out well.
Used it today for the first time with the kit on in White Oak and it sure makes a different and keeps the trash off the case of a new saw. Good addition to the saw for sure. Also it noodles much better, not that I use this saw for that. (With the original chain catcher removed but bolt re-installed)
Ooops, I forgot to pull the stock chain catcher.

That kit is really nice on the 261 but on the 361 I almost think I need a larger set cause I still rub the muffler some times when digging the spikes in. Looks perfect on the 261 cause the muffler sits back a bit farther.

Hey question guys, if the 261 bar cover will work on a 361, do you think the large bar cover for the 361 with the flared out skirt would work on a 261? I've only seen those flared out bar covers on a few 361/362's, I think they were the R models with wrap handlebars maybe?
Thanks,
Erik
yes
261, 361, 362, 441 all use the same clutch cover. so if anyone wanted to they could use the captive bar nut cover from a 261 on any mentioned saws.

Snellerized, now it sounds fast. You painted the muffler too sweet. Them spikes was a little too large. Maybe the 361 set or ones like it. The second or third guy's right, you can drill out the clutch cove, the holes are already located.

The kit are cheaper, here in Canada. Its only 28$ ! I placed an order.
Resurrecting an old thread here.
So I guess the 362R cover would work on a 261. That would give me the holes in the cover for the outer spike, but what about the chain catcher roller, is it longer for this saw so you would not have to bend the outer spike?What about the roller that comes on the 440/460? I have one of the 361 dual spike kit that I took off my ms260 before I sold it and I am wanting to use it on my new 261. But I am buying the saw new and am going to ask them if they can swap out the cover for me. Just trying to figure out exactly what I need.
