Wondered why the cover and case was cut

What is so special about it

The case and cover was cut for a bow, that's what I had to do for mine. Can you post a closer picture of the last pic you posted, I need to see the part that bolts up to the mount.

That brace was used for a bow and they are real hard to find.

Was there a spacer between the brace and mount?

Nothing, I was mistaken by the earlier picture. The bow mount brace has a drop in it under the bar mount for extra clearance. Yours appears to be a standard brace and you can see where it has been beat to hell because its a standard one.

Here are the only 2 braces that I have seen,the black for the 4000 and the other for the 3400,3700 is that correct

Yep, those are standard braces, same that I have.

Those braces are also on eBay but expensive

There were two different versions of the standard brace, looks like you have one of each. The straighter one is for the early narrow cast clutch cover. The one with a bow in it is for the later, wider plastic clutch cover.

The one for use with a bow bar is dropped down then back up where it bolts to the front handle mount. It gives more clearance for saws equipped with a bow bar.

I thought about taking my spare one and adding to it to get more clearance.

Thanks Mark I enjoy the knowledge that you give so freely

You still got that 351? Your right about it, they were a well built saw, but it was down in power compared to a good S25. That is my take on most the old Echo's, they start and cut wood religiously but a bit heavy and a bit down on power compared to there competition. I agree that the new ones are getting away from that reputation. In fact I bought a brand new one a few months back. With this bad shoulder, I thought a less then 8lb limbing saw would be a good idea..

Sure do Mark. It's in Vermont and used for trimming branches. Still runs great. Thinking of shipping one of my S25's up there. Have so many up there my brother may throw me out.

Found this orphan outside my shop door tonight . Was circling like a cat in heat . After a wipe down it's pretty good . It needs gone through and the chain is too long for the saw. Hello 1985 !


Wish it was green !

Looks in great shape.

I'd say that's a low 30 minutes use saw, looks like original chain and bar script looks good. Nice drop off.

No case, or did they come with a case when they change to gray. My red 2.3 I got from Sears came with the case.

Looks like it could be a poulan 2000. Same as the green ones.

I think so . Same 2.0/14.

Wish some of those would find my door, only cats that are at my house are the 3 black and white ones that want a meal twice a day
