Makita dcs 7301

Can one be converted from a cut off saw to a chainsaw. Do they have an oiler provision or are they designed specifically for concrete. Also what mods can be done to one.

I've gotta figure out why it was parked first.

If it were Me I would look for something else because concrete saws have a tendency to eat dust.

Yeah I'm wondering what's up with it. I haven't had a chance to look it over, just got it today. It was given to me. I believe I have a good cylinder that will work on it if needed, for some unknown reason. I have no idea how I end up with so much random crap.

Ok so good news bad news I figured out why it was parked. Looking through the plug hole there is obvious transfer won't know how bad till I tear it down. But considering I got this for free a new piston and a vac test to check seals I should have a nice cut off saw for around $100. Not bad I think.

None that are high quality like meteor but I have found some AM Pistons for about 1/2 of OEM prices and cleaned them up and used cabers with decent results so far.

Hlsupply has a hyway for $25 on their website I've never bought anything online that wasn't through ebay and don't know how to go about it on their site.

While I'm into it could I put a 7900 top end on this or would that be silly. I mean I know everyone likes the 7900 but it's a chainsaw not a cutoff saw top end.
