Joihn Deere 55 v on Craigslist for $49
The ad for this saw turned up on Orlando Craigslist a few weeks ago for $49. The guy was only available on weekends to show it. I managed to go look at it yesterday and bought it on the spot. The guy said it was his Dad's and had been sitting for quite a few years. I brought it home and dumped out the old fuel mix, flushed it out and added fresh mix. It fired right up on the 4th or 5th pull ! I went out and made several cuts in a piece of wild cherry and it runs very strong. It was covered with dust so I was very surprised after cleaning it up to see it looks almost new.
The only thing missing is the side cover above the exhaust if they came with one. Reason I'm wondering is there's a video of one on Youtube that also doesn't have a cover.
I sure would appreciate any information someone could share about it. I know it was made by Echo. The tag says Kioritz 55v
