MS 361 dogs on MS 261

Scrench holder?

Take the handle off. Let the scrench holder get warm by setting in the sun. Spray some WD-40 on it and be very careful. I may have used small screwdrivers to help it slide over the bumps on the handle.

I have updated my MS261 MC slant head version with the dogs and it was an ultra easy install 8mm and the standard torx bit. The parts from my dealer were $38 and took a week to arrive. Thanks for the help!

 

Can you guys explain to me why the other set of dogs?

 

So are those scrench holders species specific or would they fit huskies also, or does Husqvarna have em also? I want some

 

It's really not necessary. But it gets you the roller chain catch.

 

That I’d good to know. My Dolmar 5105 has 2 sets of dogs on it just curious that my MS261 only has one set.

 

Another reason for the dual dawgs is when bucking bigger logs you get a straight pull on the saw & a straighter cut. Usually not a big deal unless you really "dawg" into a log.

 

I had a Husqvarna 350 and the handle was a smaller diameter, making the scrench holder loose. I can measure the handle diameter of a stihl so you can measure your saws.

 

These work good if you don't need the roller.
