MS361 Dawgs, and chain catcher kit

[GASoline71]

Installed a Stihl dawg roller kit on my MS361. It comes with new inner and outer dawgs, the ceramic roller, and all the mounting hardware. The stock cover has bosses in the inside to drill holes for the mounting kit. The instructions even show where to drill, and what size bit to use. I already had mine drilled from when I installed the 660 dawgs awhile ago. Attachment shows installed kit.

In case anyone is interested, the part number is:

Item: 1135 650 7750

Much benefit on a 361?

 

[GASoline71]

yup... I had bigger (modified 660 dawgs) on mine. Most of the cuttin' I do are big Doug Firs and Hemlocks. These dawgs work well even in thick barked trees.

Thanks for posting that Gary.

I like the dawgs looks good, but seems a bit overkill to put on a 361, would save my money and put it on a 440 or higher stihl, IMO unless I could get them cheap...

Would you put this kit on other models (441, 460, 660...)?

 

[Peter McS]

I have fitted them onto my 440 and 460, and I will now not hesitate to recomend them

Installed mine in mid January, love them. Love my 361. Life is good.
