My question is why does it need a belly plate?

Maybe left a lot ticking over on concrete rather than cutting wood.

Maybe on slate chipping in the garden🙄

 

It really was a sinple question.

 

Are longer bar studs available.

 

Pretty straightforward really👍

cant you just use it with the ones fitted on the inside as per your first photo?

id imagine they would be fine for most kind of cutting.

Maybe the ones off a 572 would be longer? Still the same M8 thread as nearly all saws.

Yes, more than likely

If modern husky bar studs are the same as old, then they are pressed into the crankcase from the inside of the oil tank and I would very much avoid funking around with them.

Especially to make a small saw worse by slapping big dogs in it

If you take the clutch cover off and look inside are there not cavities cast for captive nuts to take the outside bucking dawg/bumper spike rather that the 372/385/390 one you are trying to fit ? ( as on my 560 below )

Cheers for that stubby. Will check it out tomorrow

 

 

The spikes are for a 545/550, not the 372/385/390.

You might have to " spot " the holes through with a drill . I think its the same cover on your saw . Note the 562 cover is different in that the outer dawg mounting holes are further apart ( to account for the 3/8th running gear . Sooo if you buy a new set of dawgs get them for a 560 not a 562 . I think !
