Many wrap models come with West Coast chain cover, double dogs, chain catch, and HD Oiler.
Same **** different wheelbarrow Mike.How's it going Jeremy?
NopeIsn't the porting different on an actual R model to give the saw more bottom end torque or grunt verses speed ? I got into this discussion with our Stihl dealer and they looked up the cylinder for an 046 and there were two different cylinder options one for a regular 046 chainsaw and an 046 Rescue saw . I have one of these Rescue saws with that style of wrap handle and it is a tad slower than a regular 046 . I always liked that saw because of the torque and the handle . The only drawback to that style handle is taking the bar off or putting it back on and to tension the chain.
I know we are discussing 461 but it is still basically the same saw.
You should see Car Salespeople here in the UP! … Customer service is a lost art anymoreIts borderline scary to me how clueless people can be about products they offer.
View attachment 745256 I couldn’t find a 461 r in my area and the dealer wanted $1200 for one so I made my own out of a new 461 I found for $980 OTD. I put the big clutch cover on it , high output oiler, and the factory dogs. Mine is just like a R model minus the wrap handle.
I bought an R a couple years ago. I bought it specifically for the wrap handle. When it arrived, it did have the wrap handle, the box said 461R. I’m not sure about the Oiler though. I’m runnin a 32 in bar and full comp chain. It seemed to dry out after some cutting. I cleaned behind the log plate and Oiler port and ran it “a little” and it seemed to oil better. Going to run a tank through on some big ash to be sure.
my Oiler only has 1/4 turn adjustment. I can see the pin stop but it appears hard to access. I heard you can recess that pin and get more flow.
The pin is at about 7 o’clock when lookin from the chain side on the bottom. You have ti view it however from the 12 o’clock position, you can’t see it looking straight down. If you look at a 462, it’s much easier to see.I've never seen a pin on any 461. Drill the oil port on the bar, it helps.

The pin I’m referring to is on the saw, not the pump. Maybe I should refrain from talk about it since I have not actually done the procedure described.462..Yes. 661...Yes.
I've had 4 or 5 461s personally and put HO oil pumps in more standard models than I can remember. Never saw a pin, the 2 pumps on my workbench don't have a pin either.
