My new free saw!!!!!

[mimilkman1]

I told a buddy of mine I was shopping for a saw to handle a 20" b&c and he said he had just the thing for me and to stop by. I got to his place and he had a John Deere CS56 sitting on his bench. He showed me the saw and said he no longer needed it and I could take it, it only needs a clutch and sproket. Who makes the saw for John Deere and how many cc's is this model? He says he was real happy with it, so once I get new parts I'll find out for myself.

I'm pretty sure that it is a 56cc Efco, check with Baileys for parts and more.

Taxmantoo will be by shortly, I'm pretty sure he has a couple different JD/Efco saws.....

I think you meant echo not efco.

 

[PWB]

Newer ones are efco, like the man said. I think the older ones were echo, so everyone's right. I think that number is an efco saw, but I stand to be corrected.

 

[toddstreeservic]

I just had one given to me that is a JD 70v which is an echo 702vl. I'm not familiar with the newer ones. Could be efco.

Thanks for the quick replies! Also on the top cover it says pro series, they didn't make pro saws did they?

Thats a decent saw. I used to have the Cub Cadet which is the same saw only yellow. It is the same as the 56cc Efco. I thought it was a little down on power and was no match for a 359 or slmilar 59cc model, but it was dead on reliable and the price was right. Report back.

It is the smallest of the pro-built (vertically split crankcase) models in the Efco line-up. Efco produces a well built, solid, reliable saw.

Solid saw, you did well. Those Efco/Emak/Olympic/JD/CubCadet/??? machines seem to be quite nice, especially for the price!

Pictures!!!

I'm pretty sure that AS rules say that if you get a free saw ya gots to post pics of it LOL. JR

 

[mimilkman1]

Well it ain't pretty, it's been abused some I can tell ya, the muffler has some rust on it, the plastic is a little faded from sun exposure. His brothers borrowed it for a while. I will try to get a pics tomorrow, but I don't know when I will be able to post em.

If I recall, one of the week spots on those machines are throtte linkage related. If your ordering parts you might wanna add some spares on your order. Try the search function.
