Chainsaw Repair

John Deere 450V Echo 4500 parts saw.  JD 450

I bought this as a running parts saw and tore it down for a look.

Sold the runner long ago so can sell this one now. I put together loosely yesterday instead of parts in a box.

It had fallen from a truck and busted the muffler studs off in cylinder. Last owner tried a insert repair but it didnt hold. I bought muffler studs and a muffler to find out it didnt. The bar side crankcase is **** around bar stud. The saw ran when I got it so coil and carb was good. I have more then $100 in it with the extra parts I bought.

I just put it back together LOOSE with ONLY 1 cylinder bolt (all I could find  ). Has good usable piston etc too.

It is also the older JD version  before the chain brake was added.

$50 and shipping.

Working on pics.

Bad areas, pics above I put the bar stud back in hole.   The handguard mount area is broken off just like the 800v one was. it is a very weak area.

Bar stud area cracks and the renecked inserts someone tried.








Showing piston.





Cylinder inside if you fix the stud area. I am guessing weld and retap would be best. Bet member scarr  could do it.

Just bought a echo 4500 needing the parts saw here. No longer for sale.
