Stihl TS760AV Cut-off to Chainsaw Conversion

[happysaws]

I bought a Stihl TS760 cut-off concrete saw, it runs great. I would like to convert it to a chainsaw similar to the 076.

Does the concrete saw have an oiler, or will I have to find an 076 oiler?

Will 076 bar studs fit in the TS760?

I'm sure I'll think of more questions, but this is all for now.

Thanks!

Haha, you did get it. We want to see pictures!

Better check for scoring. they didn't have a very good air filtration system on them.

Thanks for the replies, I talked to a Stihl mechanic, he said I'd have to get a ln unlimited ignition, a crankcase that'll accept an oiler pump, a different air filter and some other odds and ends.

I've decided to just leave it as it is.

PS, the compression is incredible, but I haven't looked at the piston yet.

I've just found an old attachment for a cutter, and I was thinking of turning my 076 into a cutter, not that it would get much more use than it does as a wood saw. Ironic

It's a good looking beast as a concrete saw, it disguises it's fat backside well.

I also have a ts760. I thought I would mount a 14 inch circular saw blade to the head of mine if I could and then Mount the saw on Rails and make a swing blade Sawmill with it.

Some earlier TS760's like yours had the oiler bore machining completed. Some were only partially done to accept the blockoff plug. You'll just need to remove the block off plug and bore check it against an 075 or 076.
I converted one once, but had to finish the machine work.
Most later TS760's have the oiler hole omitted from the crankcase casting.

I think I have one of these in the garage that I was going to harvest parts from for one of my 051/075/076 projects. In for more updates/details.

I think the early TS760 illustration and the 076 RH crankcase have the same part number, if I'm looking at eService correctly.
What do you see?
I'm gold certified, and I still have trouble deciphering their variation part numbers sometimes. Lol!

Rockfarmer is your conversion expert over here and more than willing to help. This is an older thread but has seen a fair amount of newer activity over the past year or so. Covers most anything you'd ever need to know about the 1111 series.

I also have a pretty thorough compilation of old 1111 series hard copy manuals and tech notes digitized into PDF if you decide to jump into the project. These saws probably had more weird design and part number changes than anything Stihl ever produced...even changing part numbers for the same parts just to make it interesting for all the Gold Certified techs of the future.

Clutch worm drive setups for the oil pump(s) are probably the most confusing thing to figure out on the saws when it already is a saw, let alone when scrounging oil pump parts for a conversion. The good thing about a conversion is you'd be starting from the ground up. You can make sure to get all the correct parts in the first place as long as you're forewarned that there are several variations with very little interchangeability (or forgiveness) among the different parts combinations.

Here's my 051. Came from a guy who just had the oil pump 'fixed' at one of the area Stihl dealers. Couldn't have had more of all the wrong parts if it was done as a training session on how not to do it. Problem is, the stuff today's techs need to know isn't in MediaCat, PartSmart, eSErvice, of just readily convenient in digital form. Gotta get into the old greasy hard copy manuals and tech notes to have half a chance..., and that in and of itself takes some time. (Ask me how I know.) Let's just say I learned more about the oil pumps on these things than anybody should ever know!

Bottom line; a conversion is totally feasible if you have the determination and a little experienced assistance. You'll end up with one helluva badass saw worth three times the value of that chop saw..., and a lot more fun to run.

If there's anything I can do to help, be more than happy to assist. Check out Rockfarmer, too. Tell him I sent ya. LOL

i think u are right

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Which part number?

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

020-2116 is the 510/760 case that can be easily adapted. The last illustration is the later non-adaptable case..., at least not without some major work if the casting will allow.

Good post, @PogoInTheWoods .

Lots of good info.

I have the TS760 AVE on the bench now. Looks like a low hour saw. Piston is pristine. More to follow...

I have some nos ts760 parts if needed.
Looks like a fun project.
