I got given a scrap MS260 a little while ago for parts but with some AM bits its back running. The only downside is that it has the quick chain tensioner which to sort out (new tensioner gear needed) would cost nearly more than the rest of the parts put together..
Has anyone successfully converted these to a standard tensioner? Removing that bar plate it looks like a side tensioner is out but a front tensioner might be possible...
A quick google didn't throw up any standard convertion parts / kits but surely removing all that unnecessary plastic nonsense must be a common thing to want to do?
Before I start cobbling something together I thought it must be worth a post as someone here must have already made such a convertion?
