371k cut off saw to 371xp chainsaw build

[tlandrum]

i went to my local husky dealer this morning for a couple of odds and ends and ended up picking up a 371k cut off saw and a 365 chainsaw. i was needing a crank for a 372 project and came up with a little more than i hoped for,especially at the price of 100bucks. the cut off saw has low compression,the 365 looks to have been run over. i am going to turn the 371k into a chain saw. ported and milled of course. here are the pics for the dis believers.

Good find. I can have My Echo 60S from cutoff saw to wood cutter in about a half hour...Bob

Cut off saw is a pretty handy tool. I have a ts510 and it has paid for itself many times over. Them 371k were really good saws. I would put a piston and cylinder on it and run it. Everyone needs at least one chop saw.

i thought about putting a 372 cylinder on it and running it but i carry torches on my service so its not really needed.

If your saw has the water kit, you can also mount a diamond blade and use it to cut stone and/or asphalt. Handy.

I have 3 sets of torches but that cut off saw sure made quick work of a big Granite rock in my yard. Now it has a nice flat spot on it. Now to find a gas engine drill LOL...Bob
