OEM dual felling dogs for an MS461.

[chevy_tech]

Would anyone have the part # for a set of Stihl felling dogs that would fit my MS461? Do they come in a kit?

I asked the same question, a couple of weeks ago. This was the info posted. I ordered it from the local Stihl dealer. Around $50 for the 3 items.

Yep that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Are the fasteners included with the dogs?

No kit, need to order the separate numbers.

1128 664 0502 Bumper spike (on the outside, chain sprocket cover)
1122 664 0506 Bumper spike (on the inside)
1122 650 7701 Chain catcher (rollerchain catcher)

This is before tge chain catcher was installed.

Those nuts are supposed to be on the inside of the cover in the pockets, torx head on the outside. Don't matter, just thought I'd point it out.

And no, hardware is not included.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll put the nuts on the inside.

They way you have the bolts on now are exactly how they come from the factory when you buy an R model..id leave them the way they are...plus the chain guides won't fit back in the clutch cover as good if you turn them around since the threads will protrude into the clutch cover a smidge.

Every one I've seen or R model stihl I bought had the nuts on the outside...id definitely leave them the way you have them.

Correct, the outer Bucking spike doesn't use torx head screws. How you have it mounted is correct.

I thought Stihl had short torx heads for the clutch covers and the nuts were on the inside, guess not. My bad..

Certainly seems logical considering how the remainder of the saw is. Wouldn't bother me either way really. There is a 461R straight out of the box.

I know one thing for certain, I love that saw.

So, do I have the wrong bumper spikes mounted on my 046 Magnum?

They really worked well today while bucking 30" dia. red elm and noodling the big rounds. This saw is a keeper.

"Wrong" as in what sense? Wrong as in would it have come from the factory that way? No, those spikes would've only come on an 046R, so it would have included the west coast cover and 3/4 wrap handle. That being said, a lot of guys including myself have done and will continue to do what you have done and put west coast dogs on a regular saw and go cut wood. Nothing "wrong" with that in my opinion. It's kind of like is a big block "wrong" in a 55' Chevy, it is wrong, but is oh so right....

That's crazy that the 2 spikes and the chain catcher is $50. When I bought a 362 this summer, the 361R which included the 2 larger spikes (same as the 461?), plus larger clutch cover and a mostly metal wrap handle was only $50 more vs the reg 362.

Those dawgs don't line up on that saw, they came on a standard 660 and would line up on a 440...sucks they made a 046/460/461 have a different outer than a 440/660 and the variants.

If I was gonna buy a set of dawgs for a 461 right now these would be it..cool they cut them like the 661 dawgs.

I like the 4 points from Madsen’s: they seem a tick thicker than stock, & are what I would consider just right.
But what do I know?
