STIHL MS362 double felling dogs /spikes

[GrJfer]

Resurrecting this old thread as I have installed the dual felling dawg kit on my ms261 c-m. I have found the supplied bolt that go through the clutch cover are short. I am only able to catch about 3 threads on each.

Looking at the picture that Brad posted of the 261 it seems the same way. I plan to install some longer bolts to remedy this, just wondering if others have ran into the same issue?

Also do you find the preferred method to install the roller on the clutch cover side verses the oil tank side dawg?

Bolts are too short. On my 261 I left the factor chain catch and did not install the roller catch.

Do you need to remove the factory chain stop to use the roller?

For the roller to catch it then you should take off the factory chain catch since it is higher than the roller.

Okay after getting two longer hex head bolts I got them installed on my MS261 C-M today. Need to trim a little excess of the bolts that are sticking out. Have not got a chance to use them yet, but really like the look, and feel they are stronger than the stock dawg.

Great saw, sweet dogs. After cutting the excess bolt length off, cut off the original chain catcher.

Nice, my 362 dual spikes and roller were ordered last week, I'll get them on the 261 as soon as. I didnt mind the original 261 spike but wanted two of them. Cheers boys, this thread was very helpful

magnum dawgs will work on a 362c

Or I could just remove it. Funny Stihl's pictrections doesn't show removing it, however I see the benefit of removing it.

Putting big fat dual dogs on a 261 or 362 is like putting drag racing slicks on a 6-cylinder chevy nova.

Large dogs have their place on 90cc+ saws

I don't even like large dogs on my 038Ms

My new 362 and 261 have the new stamped single dog setup. Neither have provisions for the attachment of the outer dog, just solid metal clutch cover...

personal preference. just because u dont like it doesnt mean it isnt for everyone! I had them on a 261 which too big a bite would bog the saw but I havent had that problem on the 362c.Mostly I just like the looks though

ur 261 and ur 362 will accept outer dawgs. Remove the clutch cover and remove chain slides and the bolt head slots are already there. Just drilled the premarked holes and ur in business

Big Dawgs on a small saw are just like a big ol wing and fart can muffler on an Asian kid's car.

what are u implying to be small? a 362 or 441 isnt small. I had magnums on my 261 and didnt like them but a 362c isnt a small saw.

Well it appears that many of the responses are centering on appearance rather than function. Hence the analogy.

Thats why they put slicks on 6-cyl novas too, no need for them

did you drive mom's chevette?

Lol!!! Now u get it! They look good om my 362c to me! They probably serve no purpose on any saw about as much as all of us on this site having several saws and never using them or.spending 9/10 of our time on as comparing our manhood and pride!! really no need for 20 saws to cut wood but its what we like and it happens I like magnum spikes on my 362c!

Most of them likely don't realize how much torque that saw has.
