Dog spikes for old Poulan 361

[hangfirew8]

After the crazy East Coast windstorms, I've been going through my broken chainsaw collection (everyone needs a hobby) and found the old 361 still runs great but is missing the bucking spikes. I don't know its history but I'm sure it was missing when I got it. Being a manual oiler the 361 is not a saw I'd like to use on a regular basis, but its ability to run after years in storage make it a perfect backup.

Since it is so old you can't just pull up a parts list and order online, I'm hoping someone here can point me to a source, find an old one, or point me to a new one that can be easily adapted. Also were the originals just one or a pair? Or maybe it was optional back then?

Here's the mounting data, and since I know you guys like pics, a picture. That's a new 3/8-050 Stihl chain I bought for it Monday with a yellow link, on an old 16" Canadian made bar (Windsor maybe?).

The mounting place is 9/32" thick, has two 1/4" holes that are 4" apart.

Well I called (site sponsor) Chainsawr and while they don't have an original in stock, they're going to fix one up for me for a very reasonable price. I also got another part while I had them on the phone.

The very helpful guy on the line said the original spikes were optional, and kind of rare. This is what I suspected, since the mount holes looked unmolested.
