ZR, nice job on the spikes and the offer to share them.
Wish I had a lazer to cut em out, takes me some time with a band saw.

i wouldent say that particular model husqy is junk unless it was a factory defect like the poulan. the poulan that almost cut my arm off had a faulty chain gaurd so when the chain broke it snaped back and cut my wrist open. the little metal chain gaurd didn't help becuase it broke off and was made of cheap metal. the husqy's seem to be made of a stronger metal.
and yes stihl does make some cheap, crappy saws. no i am not a 20 year old know it all. I ALMOST LOST MY ARM ON A POULAN. thats why i dont like them.
i thought the saw he modded is a cheapo poulan from lows. those things suck.

haha looks like a solid saw but it really sucks. i love how poulan pro's look like a big box made of plastic. home owner grade saws are heavy and not verry reliable.
i once had a chain fall off a poulan pro like the TS's one and it nearly cut my arm off. i think poulans are a waste of money. there are far better saws out there for only $100-$200 more then what that one costs. i just bought a husqvarna 435 40cc with a full size 16 bar for under $300. it's far better then any poulan pro's. to be honest. im scared of any saw with a plastic sprocket cover like homelites and poulans. what are they thinking? :monkey:
The only thing cheap about those 330's are the price. I bought 3 of them. One is mine, the other 2 are Christmas presents.

Btw nice work on the dogs. Did you make them on a plasma cutter?
they were cut out of sheet metal with a laser.I hated that big funky half dog that came on this saw so off to the drawing board and then to the laser. They are copied off a stock small inner dog off a Stihl 460 and made out of 1/8" stainless.
...As for the Husky 435....why don't you compare the specifications to the Poulan Wildthing....hate to tell ya but it's very close to the same saw.
....
I have been trying to talk myself out of one, don't need one as I have a very similar PP365.
Got a 10% off coupon from TSC in the mail now I have to fight off the urge again.
Who am I kidding, I'll probably go get one tomorrow as I did see my local TSC finally had them the other day.
