contents Given a Morse-Smale vector field on a smooth manifold, Franks described how one can replace a closed orbit of index $k$ by two rest points of index $k+1$ and $k$, using a local perturbation. Combined with classical results about gradient-like vector fields, this gives a method of assigning different topological or algebraic structures to Morse-Smale vector fields. We show that there are multiple non-equivalent ways of following this procedure and illustrate this non-uniqueness in various examples. We describe the consequences of this non-uniqueness to the endeavour of assigning CW complexes or chain complexes to Morse-Smale vector fields in a canonical way.
