For a Stihl 046/MS460:

 

Inner spike 1122 664 0506

Outer spike 1128 664 0501

Hexagon head screw (M5x12) 9008 319 0960 (you need two of these)

Lock nut (M5) 9214 320 0700 (you need two of these)

Roller chain catcher 1122 650 7700

Back to the MS240. The most sensible (IMO) would be kit 1135 650 7750. It includes both the inner and outer spike along with the roller chain catcher and fixings.

e.g.

STIHL MS361 DUAL BUMPER SPIKE/CHAIN CATCHER KIT | eBay

 

It is recommended by Stihl to fit the MS361 but I am pretty sure it should bolt straight on the MS240. Remember IPLs only give Stihl's recommended replacement parts not which parts actually work/can be used on other models. You would be looking at about £10 excl VAT.

 

The only issue I believe you may encouter is the roller on the chain catcher may need to be trimmed to be slightly shorter.

Will this fit my ms170 as well?

No. You can get a metal inner spike that will fit, part number 1123 664 0501. Looks like;

Or you can get a "straight" one part number 1123 664 0500. Looks like;

You need two of part number 9075 478 4115 (Pan head self tapping screw) to fix it on. The holes are predrilled in the engine housing on your saw but not tapped. You don't need to tap the holes, just screw in the screws ensuring they are square.

 

Unfortunatley, there is not an outside spike available as such. Mainly due to the fact the sprocket cover is plastic and has no accomodation for a felling spike. If you want a matching set it would be best to make up a set yourself using the Husqvarna principle of securing the outer spike via the bar mounting studs.

 

Also if you don't like the front chain adjustment you can make your MS170 side chain adjustable instead, to be like the MS171, MS250 etc. Part number 1123 007 1000 contains all you need.

That's cool, can I make the 240 side adjustable?

Many thanks for the useful info from at least half of you, should be able to try snedding with dual spikes shortly.

I'm still confused as to why some people feel compelled to answer a question with another question?

[IRONJACK]

IMO if you need more felling dogs on a tiny saw like a 240 when snedding your saw must be blunt. I think they would slow you down if anything.

 

Tommer tommer tommer...

My saw is neither blunt nor tiny.

I know you're only a tree surgeon, and clearly know very little about forestry, but FYI the size of a saw is only relative to the size of the trees you are felling.

A 240 pulls a chain around a 15" bar adequately, so using technical felling cuts that aren't commonly used in tree surgery, (this is where you would probably reach for the 660/880 etc) I can fell anything up to 32". Sure, a larger saw would knock it over a little faster, but when you're spending a lot more time snedding than felling, you soon start to appreciate a lighter saw with a shorter bar.
