Nice effort Pete, I like the ingenuity.

 

As for overloading the saw: ofcourse you can't stall it, it has a centrifugal clutch?

You can burn that clutch though...

 

If you've found it's better for you this way then that's great, but I reckon you ought to look at your sharpening technique. If it's useable with teeth like that you must have a blunt chain?

Couple of friends bought within last 2-3 years, MS 171 and a MS 211. The 171 came with small moulded plastic spikes, which have now flattened off. The 211 came without dogs; didn't even have screws to fit them if he wanted to retro fit.

 

The 171 owned didn't know what they were for, while the 211 owner wasn't aware the saw was missing them.

Thought about this for a second, I'd make them smaller for fear of having too much leverage?

It's only plastic it's attached too after all and spikes so big could exert enough force to snap that plastic after not much work?

Can you get or make them to fit the side cover bolts ? My 135 has them screwed to the casing and they don't cause any problem or take up much length.
