TS 760 convertion

[Richsark]

Hi everyone, I've just purchased a working TS 760 disk saw,without the disk bit, and as it is based very closely on the great stihl 076 chainsaw. I would like to convert it back to the 076 chainsaw, as anyone tried this or as any info about such a conversion?

Regards Richard

Either of the 2 that have been on ebay the last couple of weeks?

 

Its not as easy as it appears. Mainly made for the railways who insisted on the "chain oil tank" was turned into an auxiliary fuel tank which people seem to miss. On some theres no oil pick up pipe feed hole in the crankcase.

Different air filter and cover.

No lug for a chainbrake handle.

Oiler and associated bits.

Then a chain and a bar added into the cost.

Hi I did get it from ebay, I've got few part for a 076 ,chain,bar, rim sprocket kit side cover bumper spikes ect. No oiler parts though.

Well I think it could be a interesting shed project for the winter.

Thanks any other info would be great:biggrin:

Lol I was watching them both as had half a heart in bidding but never did.

I love the 051/075/076 saws and rebuilt quite a few.

They are pretty straight forward and there main fault is losing spark when the trigger unit fails behind the flywheel on the earlier models which is no longer available but there are ways to get around it.

 

I would look at the oil tank/fuel tank situation first and see if its been combined into 1 big fuel tank and the possibiltys of getting around it to separate them again.

Hello I like those old beast too, I have a 051 and it runs really good. I been after it's big brother for a while now but they go for a lot of money.

Anyway I'm hoping that it's not got the combined oil/fuel tank, thanks for that tip I will be looking for that first, and then take it from there.

Cheers everyone:thumbup:
