Hi Fella's,
Please allow me to introduce myself, Im Sharkey and this is my first post. 

I noticed the pics of the John Deere model 800v saw and am looking for information on it.  I have one too and see it is a rebadged Echo 8000.  When I noticed your pictures I thought to myself; 'these have to be a fairly rare saw'?  I have not seen any others prior to yours.  Not to be confused with the horizontal cylinder John Deere / Echo - 80EV or 750EVL. 

My saw came with a service manual that is dated August of 1987 and the manual is labeled "Horicon" Works?  Seems as though the saw could have been released as a John Deere model before the Echo model?  The serial number on mine is M0800VX-100238.  The serial plate reads "For Deere & Company - Made In Japan".  I bet the 'Made in Japan' label went over like a lead brick at the JD dealers back in 1987... 

Does anyone know when the Echo 8000 was first released?  I will try to get a few pics of mine up for you to see.

Thank you,
Sharkey
