Dolmar PS-6100 / Makita EA6100 dual spike and clutch cover mod

[Wilhelm]

Funny how the handle has changed.

Handle?
Changed?

I got her the way she is now, lest the clutch cover/dual spike mod.

Will that cover and dawgs still work with a full wrap?

Somewhere in this thread is a definite answer, I think YES if You cut off/trim the section on the cover where the stock integrated chain catch is.

Sondre @SOS Ridgerider knows for certain!

Post #19 shows the cover on a 6100 with full wrap. Once I get my other covers I'll install one on the full wrap saw. I'm just gonna cut off the tab that holds the 5600 chain catcher on. I'm installing roller catchers anyways. And yes, the dual dogs will work as well.

Thank you Sondre.

Sorry!

Holiday coming up, I'll look into getting Your stuff sorted and shipped.

Mine has that plate that says Dolmar.

Don’t worry about it Wilhelm. I’m not. The saws aren’t going anywhere, and I’m in no rush at all. Lol

Wayne, in that photo it is the 5600 and not the 6100, hence the handle looks so different

That explains everything then.

Are You the Marty commenting on my YouTube videos?
This is me https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVWMhHkLWR9OtcNk45r9KtA

That was my faux pass!
Now that both my PS-550 and PS-6100 wear the same clutch cover I tend to mix them up looking at pictures.
When I posted that picture I didn't realize it was my PS-550, hence the confusion - my apologies for that!

Dual spikes FTW!

The PS-550/EA5600 clutch cover and spike set make the PS-6100/EA6100 a true pro saw.

Bumping up this thread with a couple more pics.

Is that a Stihl chain catcher? I probably should do that with mine.

Yes, it is. Just drilled two 5.5mm holes, and done.

I used a Husky on mine.

Hot damn! This thing looks the tits now.

I used a AM husky chain catcher and AM Stihl screw on the outer dog since that what I had lying around.

Solid team effort lol

Thanks again to @SOS Ridgerider for bringing this mod to the forefront and @AlfA01 for the parts procurement for me.

The Husqvarna parts will make it faster.

Until you hit the wood. My 6100 walks away from my 262. I don't think the 266 could get much more than a fender on it.

 

[RI Chevy]

6100 or 262 ported?

The Stihl chain catcher good for a tenth or 2 in the cut. LOL
