Making some 044, 064, 066 Dogs. . .

[Metals406]

1)181/281/288 will be the same.

2)2100CD/298XP/2101XP will be the same.

3)266/268XP/272XP will be the same.

4)257/261/262XP will be the same.

I don't have any 257/261/262 spikes to lend. I do have spare 288XP and 272XP inner dawgs I could loan you to template. Don't have any outers to send (other than what's on my 272XP). I have 'rough' but useable 272XP and 288XP clutch covers that I could lend for spike templates too.

I could loan you my 2100CD inner dawg as long as I can get it back within a month or so (or you send me a snazzy new Metals406 spike set for it).

Thanks for posting this info! I'm pretty sure I can locally source the powerheads from your list to template dogs on. It's a lot easier than the long distance thing.

Over the computer isn't too bad, but still a lot of back and forth.

Naw, I'm not single-brand loyal. . . I like chainsaws. Especially ones that run for a long time without needing fixed.

I'm not single branded either I like all saws that run hard and fast..... And have BIG dogs!!

So is there any chance of making some dolmar dogs for my 372?

You'll have to tackle that one mate -- I'm trying to stick to some basic designs -- as this dog thing is already proven to be hugely time consuming, and the return on my time has been negligible to this point.

Looks like next week for my order.

200T, 361, 460, 660

Hung a 28 on a 361 last night. It looks wimpy with that lil spike.

 

[Naked Arborist]

Should I spec out the MS 361 spike or should I have done that last week? Daa...

Could always send it out. I do not have an outer one but could see if the Stock 660 Double dogs lines up on it, dought it will. Wish I had a 044/460 outer to try on it.



SawTroll, some help please or anyone who knows what fits.

I'm super busy the next week, week and a half. I just spent Sat-Sun doing 8 trailer loads of Elm (loading and unloading). . . I hurt all over.

I won't be doing the 361 for a while, unless the 044-066 set fits.

I have a 044-066 set here, a 200t, and a 460 if you want to get those now.

Trying to get a return call from my steel guy is proving impossible. . . Just tried again, and no call back yet. They're jammed, which is good for them, but making it hard for me to order.

If I remember right, 441 dogs fit 361. Get a sure fire answer though.

Hey Nate ; I feel ur pain, but in different parts of my body

Just a thot on the 390 Husky dogs. The bottom of the factory West Coast dog is pretty good. But it could really use one more point above the bar. . Like a good 1 1/2" above the top point of the factory west coast dog.

Just a thot. But I found myself quite a few times with my left hand knuckles banging into a stump or buck and levering off them. . Kinda hot and somewhat painfully regularly.

Glen, when I can finally get a 390 set cut out, you can get a pair and try them out and see if they do the same thing? If they do, I can modify them. They should be very similar in size and feel to the ones you just got.

 

[tramp bushler]

Awesome.

 

[Naked Arborist]

The side covers are all the same I think. I'll try the 361 dog on a 460 I have apart now and the other way around. That should do it. I dought the bar stud location holes are different.

LOL

Yours don't count yet Mike.

I think the Lord will bless me with some cash soon so I can afford to have batch #2 cut.

 

[mdavlee]

I know. The 46 spikes are going on Glen's road rash saw. He forgot to send some with it. I have a place for them afterwards if the guy will part with it.

Yup, you can see some 461's on a saw earlier on in the thread.

Don't have any cut right now though.

I put factory 460 inter on the 361, looks good. I don't have and outer. The factory 660 spikes will fit with a slight trim on the lower case or the spike. The alignment hole for the chain catcher is off about 0.030 with that 660 set installed. The 660 are bigger than the 460 by far. Still need a 460 outer to know the truth of the matter.

I have one 460 outer sitting here.

I just sent Mike what I thought was my last 460 set, but there was another one sitting there -- no inner though.
