Convert Stihl 020AV Super to 020T Super?

[bulletpruf]

Fellas -
I need a top handle saw. Years ago, when I was living in Europe, I sourced a clean 020 AV Super and a roached 020T Super. I really don't need a 35cc rear handle saw so my plan is to convert my rear handle saw to a top handle saw.

Is this as easy as swapping out the handle?

Thanks,

Scott

It pretty much is- along with the associated throttle linkages etc.
But, if I were in the position of NEEDING a top handle saw, not sure old school 020AV is the direction I would be taking personally.
If I merely WANTED a top handle saw, then maybe.

All of my user saws are older - 026, 038 Mag, 076 Super, etc, so having an old school top handle saw makes sense to me. It won't get used much at all.

Thanks
