Recently came into a decent Deere 60V, believe it crosses to an Echo 602EV. Runs great, weighs a ton, here's the issue- The spur type chain drive is well worn. But it's part of, or at least seems to be part of, the chain brake. IOW, the clutch drum, spur and chain brake drum all appear to be one piece. I don't even know where to look for parts on this one. Can't find any IPLs showing the 60v/602EV with that type of a set up, or any chain brake at all for that matter. Anyone know anything on this one?
 
I’m not certain but this is what you need.

And, the next 60v with a chain brake I see will be the first. [emoji848]
 
That drum for sale on eBay is unique to the 601/701. Those saws were one of the few earlier Echos that had a different oil pump design. They were not like the widely used piston pump driven by the crank lobe. These were driven by the external cam on that drum assembly. None of the 601/701's had optional brakes.

The 602/702 vl came with a brake assembly similar to the 452. The brake was a massive assembly fit into the clutch cover and looked like an automotive drum brake system. The 750 evl came with an altogether different brake.
 
Dug out some photos of the assembly on one of my 452's. Robust in the typical Echo fashion.

That's the one! Appears to be the same (?) as item 18 in the JD parts link. I can't get anything to come up with the JD site as far as availability. Any idea if they can be found or am I stuck with a worn spur? Free saw, it'll stay int he collection, but it would be nice to be able to work it.
