John Deere 40V questions.

[Den]

Was wondering if the John Deere 40V is the exact same Kioritz unit as the Echo 330EVL?

Also, someone mentioned somewhere that the crankcase has to be separated in order to replace the rubber oiler line on the John Deere 40V. Is this true?

If so, are the 50v, 55v, 60v, 70v, and 80v the same way with respect to the oiler line?

Den.

Ray, have you heard much about the oiler line replacement on the 40V being a terribly involved and time consuming job? Are the other 50, 55, 60, 70 and 80 just as bad?
