Is it time for an Echo stickie?

[nick 55]

I have a 620PW headed my way now. The local dealer quoted me a price I couldn’t turn down. So we will see if that turns out to be true when I go to pick it up next week. Can’t believe the 120 page thread on it and this one, seems to be a really good saw that will serve me well for a while.

Well, it finally arrived. This thing isn’t common in my area of Northern Illinois evidently. The shop seemed surprised when it was brought up to the counter for me. Can’t wait to break it in tomorrow and run some tanks through it before a muffler mod and possibly a Stoeckel filter.

Just something different I thought I’d share, a while back I picked up a couple of freebie cs670 beaters from the scrap, built one from the best of both and decided to mount an extra bow I had laying around on it, runs and cuts good and is easy on the back, it’ll have upper and lower guards on it before I start using it around the sawmill bucking up smaller logs for 4x4, 6x6 post etc.

 

[backwoodsdave]

Made up a couple of guards, I’ve never had a lower guard on a bow saw before but I think I like it, cut a few with it today, I’m happy with it.

I'd like to find a bow for my 036 Pro. So much easier to buck with, saves your back.

Here's the newest version of the Echo shelf. No room for the 280E.View attachment 799404

That was the new shelf a couple years ago. Now it has so many Echo's on it you can't separate them!

Well, because I can’t leave things stock for long, I got some new dogs. Honestly, I wanted these because the first few times I used the saw I kept digging in and hitting the muffler on the logs. Not liking that, I think the extra distance will help. I have multiple bar lengths so it can be compensated for. Also got one of the Stoeckel foam filter too, no pics of it though.

I haven't posted here in quite some time.I have a John Deere 30,same saw as the Echo CS 302.I got the saw over 3 1/2 yrs.ago from my old high school biology teacher's estate for $20,sight unseen.The saw was mint,but didn't idle.I did a carb adjustment & it runs like a champ & oils well too.It sat in my barn for the last 3 1/2 yrs.& I got it out today,dumped out the old fuel & put in fresh fuel & it fired right up.I think this will be one of my new limbing saws,very light & easy to handle.

That's awesome man, and a pretty cool story!

Funny all the folks that criticize Bow Saws have never ran one and maybe never saw one except in pictures.

[Backyard Lumberjack]

i googled it! nada!! ~ and just when i was about to call a 'strike'.....

 

[Bill G]

Mine is a bit different in color

 

[chainsawwhisperer]

I had a 1001 years ago. Traded it to Wildman1024 for a cherry Homie 550.
Side note: My 1001st post here was about the Echo 1001...go figure !
The castings and the flywheel fan were on the thin side.

yeah, and its really, really heavy, and has incredible compression. This one has been fully rebuilt, very well made saw.

picked up a 900 too a couple years ago, but the top end is trashed pretty bad from the looks of it and it needs a muffler. I might be able to save the cylinder i just haven't got around to it yet.

I have a 1001 but the clutch cover is broke
