They want to toss the original box if they haven't already, so much for a collectors item.

Yeah, doesn't sound like they understand that fact.

Alright, I'm here in a pawn shop and they have a nice used/not dropped out of a tree and ran over CS-355T for 150.00. Has original Echo bar, chain looks to have been replaced. What say you guys? Worth it?

 

[FergusonTO35]

 

[Nutball]

That's a question for you. At least the chain is tight.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Hmm. Seems to be a nice saw, only thing is it feels pretty bulky for a top handle. Also not crazy about the tapered shape of the top handle, feels like a toothpaste tube to me. I like my slim n' trim CS-3000 better, may just wait for a later version of that one to show up.

Here is a CS-450P locally for 125.00. Does this look like a decent deal? I gotta plug that hole between my 40cc and 50cc saws, right?

Momma just bought a new brat buggy, so no more saws for awhile. Oh well...

My tweaked 400 and tweaked 490 to me really don’t need a bridge saw between them. So don’t feel bad that linoleum lizards got your saw money.

 

[FergusonTO35]

I have a 400 and 500P and they work great. Just always looking for a reason to add more to the collection!

Look into a 590, you find some great buys on used ones.

I got scammed on a used one, shipped it right back, waiting on a eBay refund now. Chances are you could get scammed too, and see my return slip in the box with the other 2 return slips from the others who got scammed.

Ohio dealer was selling them new for 299 and the 620 for 449. He just made last call on them in my group. Sold tons of others. 2511 299.

Currently bidding on what looks to be a nice CS-303 on Fleabay. Any major differences between the 303 and my old CS-3000 other than the color and cat muffler?

[FergusonTO35]

Well its mine, so I'll be finding out. Now I can say I'm on the 3 saw plan with a back up for each one: 30cc, 40cc, and 50cc.

And here she is. 2018 model and starts runs and oils like it should.

Maybe interesting for someone - list of models labeled by other companies and manufactured by Echo: http://echo-usa.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/262

 

[FergusonTO35]

Awesome, thanks. So turns out that some 80's McCulloch weedeaters are in fact Echo machines as I suspected.

Anybody in here have any experience working on a 660-evl ?
I've got one with an air leak in a strange place.

 

[ajschainsaws]

Got this new addition and was wondering what bar Mount was the closest
For a long bar needed for this Saw

 

[Nutball]

I would assume a 176 would match it, or a 009 should work too, but I've never seen one in person, so I don't know.
