Dual dogs / bucking spikes with pics.

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

Wanted to share here as no one else I know cares about chainsaws. Looks gorgeous and being larger than the previous standard dog, actually useful. Had I had read the instructions I wouldn’t have had to sand the bolts and nuts back and I would have orientated them correctly. Anyway, they won’t be loosening, they are torqued and lock tight’ed, besides it looks cleaner this way.

That just needs to be modified to mount the roller chain catcher now, the ceramic roller will sharpen the chain each time it is tossed.

Or just leave the chain loose so the cutters gets sharpened while under cutting. Never a dull chain.

Dual spikes makes us feel more manly when we dig them into the bark, like using spurs on a horse? I would but u know what a mean.

Fixed it for ya.

Plus a muffler mod, base gasket delete, timing advance and a woods port job.

They should be perfect for piercing the back seat of your car........
Those on a 260 look about as manly as lake pipes on a Vauxhall Viva.

I worked on a Stihl 440 and I saw that the nylon chain guides were missing from the cover. The dog bolts were installed with the nuts on the inside. That did not allow the guides to fit.

Switched orientation of the bolt with the nuts to the outside and installed the nylon guides back.

The chain was wearing a slight grove in the cover where the nylon guides are a softer consumable material than the metal cover.

That's a dang overhaul.

That's a good one but he might want to remove the isolators and make ridged mounts so the saw don't flex any. Then he can really bear down with those dawgs.

Remove the b & c the dual west coast spikes make great back scratchers?

I like the way it looks Tom. Have you thought about changing your profile name from “Spoon carving with Tom” to “Chainsaws with Tom”? Might be a bit more fitting these days. Have a great day!

Of course, why else would I get them!

serious note They are mostly there because they make my saw look friggin cool and maybe cus of thick bark, but mostly because they look cool

I couldn’t agree more, I feel so much more masculine!

Going to the shed and gonna go switch mine around (that’s why I had to grind the bolt and nut) I feel like a idiot

Don't worry Justin... we ALL done something to fit that phrase!

We should have a sticky post " Done something really stupid?" It will amaze you what has been already done so that you can't claim to be the first..........
