45 EV is 40.2 CC. The 35 is in the 30-35 CC range. http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...1a2652067ce927f688256d09001d923a?OpenDocument

These saws were made by Kioritz Corp. and were also marketed as Echo. I got 20 years of farm pruning and a bit of firewwod out of a JD 40V. It was a good saw.

thanx for the info sir.are they comparable to a poulan pro or along that line of saw?

I don't have much experience with Poulans, but I'd say the Kioritz made saws were comparable to the "Farmer" and "Rancher" saws of Husqvarna and Stihl.

Take a look at the lower front of the right side of the saws. I dragged out the old 40V and there's an oval tag there that says Kioritz Corp. 40V. serial number. Made in Japan. If those saws are Kioritz made I'd say they're good ones.
