Yup Robin, on the back of the yanmar, I have a set of studded ones that should fit the front, made up here but of chain unknown, but that matters not because they were new and free [emoji38]

Jerry....what do you know about the Dolmar PS 540??? I asked in the Dolmar stickies too.....
I do believe that the 540 is the newer version of the 115, now the 115i is a fine saw. I have a few of them and they are in the 50 cc class of saw, as reliable as a hammer, built for the long run but the AV rubbers are their weak link, they fall apart if subjected to oil and fuel but are easily replaced. Each one I pick up the first thing that gets changed out is the AV`s.
Not really - the 540 has a slightly larger bore, but is "detuned" to less performance than the 115 = one of several "semi-pro" alternatives to the 115.I do believe that the 540 is the newer version of the 115, now the 115i is a fine saw.

Thanks Nikko, I have not had a 540 in my hands , my interest in the SD saws waned badly after Makita took them over.Not really - the 540 has a slightly larger bore, but is "detuned" to less performance than the 115 = one of several "semi-pro" alternatives to the 115.
The 115 still is a current model, at least in Germany.
It seems like a very well built saw....from what I can see, it's wicked dirty but all there and nothing broken...well...except the engine, which is definitely broked in good shape. It is obvious that it has lived in the back of a pickup 24/7. Probably worth rebuilding if a fella had the parts.....otherwise be a great parts saw...which is probably more in line with its ultimate destiny....don't know how old it is but I'll wager that a rag has nevah touched this saw......not even once since it left the dealership.

That happened around 1991/92 really - but it recently has become more obvious.
