050 051 075 076 Info Thread

They can easily be converted by drilling out and retapping stud holes for longer studs. You also need larger intake and exhaust. Search for conversion

oops, what a difference a word makes. I have actually done the conversion years ago. I meant early 051 or 050 - can't remember exactly but it's not as simple as the late ones. There's something in the case (or not in it!) that stops it working

Does it have a manual backup oiler? If yes 075/076, if no 051.
Yes it does.
Going to try to get into it tomorrow.

Does anyone know if there is a torque sequence to the cylinder bolts on the 076? I don't know what the torque setting should be either.

tighten to 8Nm, tighten diagonally.

It can be done... if you have a TS760 with the right crankcase. Some models of the TS760 use the same crankcase as the 076 but with the unnecessary holes having plugs fitted. Some don't have the chain break ears though.
However, there are lot of TS760 saws that are not compatible in any way. There is no way you could put an automatic oiler in and there is no accomodation for a chain tensioner etc.

Assuming you could find one which was compatible you also have to consider the fact cut-off saws have often ingested a lot of brick dust in their life
You could leave the air filter set up but would need all the oiler parts, sprocket, chain tensioner, clutch cover, trigger unit depending what it has, etc
Best bet IMO would be if you could find a compatible TS760 is make it exclusively for milling. Thus not needing the oiler parts if you have an aux oiler.

Someone who found a compatible crankcase;

I picked up a totally rebuilt TS760 a while back. A guy with the railroad had replaced everything new except the crankcase. It has plugs where the oil tank is and it may be a compatible case. it is HEAVY.

I can get it to start on a prime, but not stay running. I suppose it's a carb issue. Likely a Tillotson?

I notice the air box is tiny, not likely a chainsaw conversion candidate. Any opinions? I like big heavy old saws.

I got it running. It has a Walbro, and the fuel lines were old and disconnected. A bit of Tygon, and away we go. It runs great. Does it look like a possible conversion candidate? Maybe if I got an old clunker and transferred parts? How much to find the parts used ball park? Is there an ipl available?

Thanks. This would be a low rpm 4 foot bar puller, so the rev limiter doesn't bug me that much. I recall the old 08s having a dual purpose model to switch back and forth. That's what my TS360 is based on, I think.

 

[teacherman]

Well, I put it all together. Works great. New P + C, I believe. It was used by the railroad to cut rails, That eats up the paint, but maybe not so much on the innards. I see the lugs for a brake handle on there. Anyone convert one of these over to a chainsaw? I think it would make a nice big logger. What do you guys think? If it doesn't hurt the oil pump to run when empty, it could be converted back and forth like the old 08S multipurpose saws.

 

[teacherman]

Bump.

The 760 has been doing a fine job cutting rebar.

Does anyone watch this thread?

I wonder if I can make this thing into a chainsaw and empty the oil tank and put the hotsaw parts back on and have a dual purpose machine. Does anyone have knowledge of this idea's practicality?

I watch this thread...,FWIW.

The conversion should certainly be possible given your description of the tank, but a pain in the ass to do on a regular basis as a "dual purpose" machine. If it were me, I'd keep my eye peeled for another 1111 project and just build a dedicated saw since the 760 seems to be admirably doing its particular job already..., but that's just me. The subject is covered earlier in the thread to some extent, but all the early pics are gone.

Glad to hear you got it ironed out and running.

Thanks. I appreciate the advice. The idea came from knowing there was once a multipurpose based on the 08S platform. My friend has a dirt auger based on that saw. Really interesting, some of the things people have come up with over the years. There was a drill based on the 026 that was used to take core samples from rock by geologists out in the field, but the 026 was discontinued... I have the hedge trimmer attachment, and it live on my 026. I use it regularly.

I suppose I should get a 14" good diamond blade and a water kit, and I'll be able to cut 5" deep instead of just 4".

Too bad about the pics. There must have been a real destructive cyber-event, because all the old pics went away.

Have a great day!

Ok, I've done a bunch more research and found that, apparently, an ignition coil (# 1111 400 1303) in conjunction with the trigger unit at the link below will get my saw running. The trigger is $37 and change. I found another by a different manufacturer for $13 and change. I also read that the 1303 doesn't need a trigger, so I'm a little confused about that. But the trigger should work with coil 1305. Any thoughts?

Anybody have an extra 075 clutch cover that isn't destroyed on the lower front corner? Another question does anyone know the used parts source up/around Oregon area( I think at least in the NW corner states) , he does a lot on E-bay but I had a major computer crash and no longer have the book marks.

I'd try customchainsawparts in marysville wa

 

[blades]

Yep he has some But I found another for less.

Sounds like you're a smart shopper. Good luck with your saw project. It's addicting.

 

[blades]

Yes it is , that darn 075 got lonely so now there is a 084 keeping it company and I thought it was bad enough with the multiplication of the Dolmars. CAD( Chainsaw Acquisition Disease) is out of control around here. On top of that there is the shadow of AAD ( Accessory Acquisition Disease) looming over the area.

Got the NEC trigger unit a couple days ago. Mounted it at the rear gas tank mounting bolt under the cover, wired it up and she fired right up!! Started milling slabs yesterday. My only issue now is the kill switch doesn't work. Can't figure that one out. Any ideas?

 

[blades]

All it does is short the coil to frame so some where it is disconnected or the lead is broken inside the plastic insulation or when reassembling you pinched and cut it somewhere. Last but not least and Stilh is notorious for - bad switch

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

That's a new one on me, but easy enough to check with a multi-meter -- first.

 

[macstrange]

Ok. thanks. Here's another one for you guys. The decompression valve backed out on me.... again! I thought I solved this problem. The valve that came with it melted, I put a new one in.... melted, put another one in.... melted/backed out. After some research, I found out I needed a seating ring. Bought ring and new valve. Saw was running great... for a few hours. Then saw started running poorly. After checking a few things, I went to start it and valve is gone. This is obviously due to vibration as I have found that the carburetor adapter bolts loosen also. Is anyone else having the same problems with their 075?

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Post a picture of your "melted" decomp and the threads in the cylinder for both the decomp and the carb adapter bolts. Sounds like the cylinder threads themselves may be the problem due to being ham fisted over the years and simply will not tighten any more. You'll need more than Loc-Tite to fix that.

First time I've heard of a decomp valve "melting", but there's a first time for everything!
