    Have you sunk it into wood yet? The biggest issue I've had with big aftermarket dogs was that they would pull the saw into the cut really hard and cause the saw ton bog quite a bit.

    Biggest problem with big dogs is they get pulled into the wood (even when you try to hold them off).

    It slows your cut and makes it super violent.

    Bigger saws with more power are a bigger problem. But a problem none the less.

    Gitcha black paint marker to fix up those letters. They work well on the felling sights too.

    I will attest first hand that the 441C-M he has coming, is a beast.

    Nice collection you have Waddel!!

    speaking of bumper spikes, this is from page 12 of the MS 440 parts list, what is item # 30 for?

    I have yet to see one of those on a saw. I have only seen the other two styles shown,

    It's a limit stop. It doesn't allow you to dig in and leverage the saw when bucking. It's used for racing, protecting the muffler/crankcase, and other tom foolery.

    i saw on the parts list it was called a limit stop, but was not sure what it was for. Thanks!

    You ever see one on a new saw?

    I've never seen one on a new saw. I like them for the above reasons. Small saw with a good self feeding chain spikes are not needed. I made mine for my Jred out of SS

    Is that when your wife gives the green light to buy some accessories for your saw and you end up with two extra saws?:D
