FOUND IT 346 & 550 felling dogs

[Brown8417]

Looking for the same for a 550.

Thanks in advance!

Sierradmax on AS sells some real nice ones for the 346. I don’t have a pic at the moment but could prolly come up with one..

The stock spike/dawg on the Husqvarna 545 550 saws are a joke. They're just too small to be of any value. While some may feel a 50cc class Saw doesn't need a spike, I wanted to keep the muffler from caving in and I like as much paint on the case as possible. I used a stock, OEM spike off of a...

I put a 562 spike on my 545, much better. Just a bit of filing on one mounting hole.

Thanks @Canadian farm boy, any thing known for the 346?

I see WCS makes a set for the 550 as well but a little more pricey than a stock 562.

I haven’t done this personally but I do believe the 357/359 inner can be made to fit with a little file work

I have a set of 562 big dawgs I'd give ya for shipping cost if you want to mod them for the 550.

 

[Brown8417]

I know I read it somewhere but I can’t find it now

 

[Brown8417]

I’d take you up on that, I’d really like to try them

Bueno, pm me an addy and we'll go from there.

Stock 555/2260 ones work real nice on 550’s. I rehashed stock 372 ones for my 2153’s. It works good and you get the kickstand roller guide too. 357 ones work good on 346’s too

357 spikes can be modded to fit 346 but a fair amount of material has to be removed.

Here’s an old pic of the Sierradmax spikes. Have them on a couple saws.
