This 550 got run over


Bar got pinched, and the operator tugged too hard to get it loose. Use wedges or another saw to free it!!

Saw was ran over by a skidsteer.

I see what ultimately happened but, what caused it? Inquiring minds (mine) want to know.

Sure as heck did not explode from the inside out- had some help to become destroyed.

Not my saw, a fellow saw was working on. Stihl ms171 minus dirt in 1 pictue he melted the case around the brake band,melted the worm gear for the oil pump, stretched out the clutch springs, and melted the bearing cage for the clutch bearing. He couldn't remember how long it was idling for with the chain brake on

Likely on purpose knowing how frustrating those 540s are.
