Husqvarna 261/262 Muffler bracket
« on: December 14, 2013, 03:16:45 pm »
Have a look at the muffler bracket on the attached photo of a 261. I am looking for some of these but cannot figure out what the part number is or any reference to it.

If anyone knows or can give me the part number I would appreciate it.

This is a factory bracket not a modification.

Did some more looking and it appears that it is off 1999-06 261 EPA I believe the part number would be 503 50 86-03
And the spark screen is 537 01 08-01  Complete muffler is 503 97 25-02 all the parts and complete unit appear still to be available.

The reason for all this is that is looks to me like the factory put a very mild DP muffler on a stock saw.

I remember finding some brackets a few years ago used at chainsawr.

Checked Chainsawr and no go.

So it appears to me that if one were to use the 261EPA bracket and screen on the 262XP muffler (which is open behind the bracket) you could get dual ports without modifying anything. The opening in the 261EPA is not huge but could be enlarged without too much trouble.

I'll shoot some photos of my 262 with that 261 muffler.
Also the 261 muffler is running a deflector with a 5/8" hole behind it as part of the mod.

I also have a nos 261 muffler that may have a part number on the bracket.

I'll look @ my 261's I know one of them has that support.  You're right 1999 261 PN's are right for cover @ screen.  If one of them has it I'll remove it and send it to you.  I have some NOS supports to replace it with the reg. ones.  It is a mild DP.

Just figured out that the little vent in the front of the 261 bracket can easily be opened up into an oval shape such that a tube can be fit and welded from back. I have a supply of old bicycle frame tubing that I will use. Bicycles have all sorts of useful curves that make doing MMs easy. They can be had for cheap at a scrap yard.

It turns out that I have just the standard 261 muffler and bracket.





Here is the muffler mod that is on my 262xp.

That is pretty slick! Did you use a 266 outlet?
