Does anybody know who makes the J3816R for John Deere?

John Deere owned Homelite for a short while.

The J3816R is a Homelite

I have a John Deere 30cc Weed whacker and it is a Homelite and looks like my Homelite Weed whacker. The parts interchange.

Here's a Homelite I had one time. It's the same era as yours only a little bigger at 45cc and 18". It even has a box just like yours. Homelite went by UTC codes.

I also had another 45cc Homelite that was just a little older. I always had a problem with just what those were called?

Who all made saws for JD?

I can remember Echo, Homelite, Efco. Any others?

Remington made some in the 70's, I think they offered the PL-4 in green and yellow.

not to me thats for sure, but i'm sure somebody will jump on it if they wanted it bad enough. you'd be suprised how much people spend on this "hobby". $500 aint close to what some saws get.

Yea I put 2 little Homelite XL2's w/ no bar/chain on ebay for parts or not working. I winning bid was $54 for both.  I didnt think I could get my money back if I bought bar/chain for them and got them running.

What something is worth to someone is crazy at times. 

There is a JD 66 twin = echo twin in the echo section here I posted pics of. I could have bought that saw for $425. I dint want or have a use for it. So I offered to a echo collector to pick it up for him. He wanted nothing to do with it either at that cost.

Thread   http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/echo/john-deere-66sv-echo-twin/

Some guy north of me bought it and flipped it on feebay. Some  ::):-X paid $900 on BIN for that saw  :o .   Unbelievable what some pay out there IMO.

 I still wouldnt drive a hour there and hour back to just flip it for $475 profit minus whatever bay takes, but that is just me.
