I have a lead on a Husqvarna Model 3120K concrete saw and was wondering what it would take to convert it to a chainsaw.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

I say it can be done, because with the right transmission and auxiliary oiler made to run as primary oiler, you can definitely mount that on a jig to use as a powerhead for milling.
Chad didn't specifically mention an application, he simply asked if the K saw could be converted to a chainsaw, and the short answer is no.
Thanks, Jacob J. I took 'not feasable' as meaning not possible instead of meaning just too expensive. I'm not as familiar with the drive output on those as I mostly have used a Stihl to cut through block. It had a diamond blade and never gave us a problem! haha I probably never had to remove the blade.
If there is a shaft coming off of it and a way to mount, you can even make your oil pump driven off the shaft outside of the bar. That would be cool since you don't want oil dripping. You can make an outboard oiler between the case and the guide bar. It's an oil pump ******* it not a dialysis machine. Even if the bar had to be mounted on a pedestal it could be done. I was walking around considering this if the bar mounted to a right angle gearbox the handle being upright when you mill, that would sure make an ergonomic position with the elbow out and the wrist aligned.
There is no short answer on ArboristSite. LOL
When you think of the uses for powerheads in milling don't forget a stack cutter if you know what I mean. And as a log cabin mortise chipper or any kind of stationary job. I'm not real big on carrying around an 088 like I was when I was twenty. Why don't you just carry around a window air conditioner pound for pound.
Could be with the right blade that 3120 would make a real good circular saw sawmill powerhead that could very well be. Does anybody cut wood with them? That wouldn't need an oiler.
Oh goodie! Ignore the most knowledgeable folks on here, good idea. Can I make the list too?Gee my ignore list just got 'em some nice plump bedfellow.
