I'm happy to say that my 7-10 wasn't in a chop shop after all.I went out this a.m.& looked at my other 7-10 & measured the mounting area on the bottom of the saw where the handle & screws fit in,then I measured the new 7-10,it's the same length.So I thought to myself that there had to be a 2nd hole there,& sure enough,I found it.It was so completely filled in with oil & dirt that I couldn't tell there was a hole there.
I've been told that a 10-10 handle will work.IO looked at the 7-10 & 10-10 IPL's & the part # is the same.However,I found a nice ProMac 10-10 handle on EBay that has all the required parts I need,but the part # is now 214549,the old # is 87686,are these handles interchangeable?I know there are some differences between the 10-10A & ProMac 10-10
