Chainsaw Repair

To many saws not getting used and going to start with some echos first.

I took it in trade 2010 or 11  on some racesaw stuff.

Older echo 8000 in John Deere colors 80.7cc. No chain brake just hand guard. Where the OEM hand guard mounted broke off mount on handle.  So It has a older poulan style handguard.

Has had the squish tighten up 195psi and everything back to stock. Muffler modded.
Never had to remove cylinder for any looks so going by original owners word I trust.  Carb has had some work done to it to help in the cuts. 

I still think they would make a good 5ci racesaw too.

PHO $400 or something can be worked out if b+c needed. I only have up to a 24" though and pretty sure this saw would pull 36".







Some pics before I put the handguard on.

These are pretty rare.  It would be a good score for any collector.  Homelite replaced Echo at the John Deere dealers in 1988.     

SOLD to a John Deere collector.

That 800 looks nice Kevin, but like you  I have to clean out my stable too.
I just ordered  a new diesel pickup, which leaves me thinking.....lot's of money going out, but need to do a little house keeping of some excess and get a little $ coming back.

Packing a 181SE up for a trip now too.   I know that 272 of yours would look good in a collectors hands.

That JD collector maybe interested.  Give me info and I will run it by him and give him # if you send in PM.  He told me to keep a eye out.
