Does it always fall on it's side when you set it down? I have something for you. This is the 'stock' original spike from the 562 I just got. With very minimal filing using your round chain file it will fit on your 545 or 550. If you add a husky roller stop to it, it creates a 'kickstand' for the saw to rest on and it won't play dead every time you set it down. Paying this forwards so long as your post isn't outside the ConUS. Here's an idea of what it looks like mounted. I did my 550 years ago and never looked back. Let me know if you want it. I have no use fer it.
Same deal for the smaller 3 series saws. There’s a spike w/ catcher that fits a bunch of em cause they like to roll. Can’t remember a part # rn but I know I have one in my parts cache. Great offer.
