ECHO Echo, Echo, Echo

The saw pictures is a 1001: The 1201 is a bigger Saw physically, & the clutch cover is larger.

Yes I know of the LARGE differences. I was trying to state that if s newer currently produced saw does not have a chain brake, then I kinda doubt that an older model (significantly different) saw would.

I know they were offered on the 900EVL & I assume there was a Canadian version of the 1001EVL with a CB.

That’d be something to see.

Thanks for the info.I would like to know when Echo discontinued the 900evl, the 1001vl, and when the 1100 started. Acre's site does not show this info.

All the 1001's I've seen had just the white plastic handguard common to Echoes of that vintage. Seems like Echo didn't equip all their USA market saws with brakes until after the new designs with the vertical cylinder came out. At first I thought the 1001 was a Canadian model because the metal handguard looked like a brake handle that was added on later to meet the requirement.

The 1001's never came equipped with a chain brake. Made from '76-80', they only sported the tube steel finger guard. It usually snapped off in short order.

Sawfun's looks like an early ('76?) model given the pentagonal shaped fuel and oil caps and the rear handle design. Later caps were round and the rear handle was redesigned to incorporate a hand guard and operator presence lever.

My dad's 1001 that he passed along to me a few years ago. He bought it new in '79. Presence lever was removed. You can see the remains of the snapped off guard still mounted to the handle support.



On a side-note. I picked up a relatively rare (for these parts) 452 with chain brake last week. Needs some new plumbing and it will be good to go. Pretty low miles.

What the heck. One of my 452's getting a piece last month after a three year hiatus. Like a champ.

Hoggwood, thanks on the 1001 info. Nice looking pair of Echo's there.

Picked up echo's budget saw to test out.
Got a stock poulan 3750 TABB to test against it. Know how it stands up against 262 036

So far been impressed stock with 20" buried in dry ash log. Me and a logger that was in for some work gave it alittle test session.

Now to find the 620.

The only thing the 620 has that is want on my 590 is the unlimited coil.

And, it’s a runner after a carb overhaul.

It’s missing some stuff. [emoji57]

best bet is a blown up one with the parts you need oem parts will have you more then you can sell it for....they hardly ever blow up ... hit you local echo dealer they sometimes have parts saws....or be patient and a carcass will show up on ebay for ten bux and 20 shipping....

View attachment 121224 Iv been rather impressed by my 355t. Has no issue pulling 14" bar buried in oak locust or hickory.

I'm impressed with mine too. Haven't cut anything that big, but it's done a great job in everything I've put it in.

Browse evilbay for Echo parts is depressing. New parts are stupid high as are used stuff.

Found what is missing in ‘Doc’s’ garage.

A crate of dead tophandles.

Is 125psi too low on this?

 

[Hoggwood]

New plumbing today on the 452. As usual, both the OEM fuel and oil pickup lines were black goo. Went through the carburetor and threw a new kit in it. Just thought I'd share some pics of the brake setup. Overbuilt in every sense. Typical Echo.

 

[old 040]

This J/D labeled 302 went through the bay a little while back, it uses the same style brake.

 

[merc_man]

125 is starting to get low. I would think it should run if the pistons in ok shape still.
