I have been looking for years for the John deere(Echo built) twin cylinder. Guess I will just have to keep dreaming and put more pennies in the piggy bank.

There is an older thread where an Echo twin (60cc) was ported and the results were not as expected.

I found this today as I was moving boxes to my new house.
It is from 1977.

It is a sales brochure that describes each of the saws. I think I have a 50 here somewhere.

The military version from the Belgian Army
Bit a heavy saw but it has every feature a saw should have and manual adjusters where you need screwdrivers on other brands.
It has auto and manual oiler, decompression valve, idle adjusting knob, oiler adjuster knob.
Think all manufacturers, including the Echo of today could learn from it.
Why mess around with screwdrivers when an elegant little knob can be made? Nobody would accept a radio that must be turned louder with a screwdriver.....

Jos, that is a REALLY nice 750. I assume it is a military version or did you do an outstanding paint job ? I concur with your opinion that the older Echos were loaded with features not found on todays saws by any mfg. Those carbs in that side mounted carb box are a real joy to work on

It is really military, i also have the wooden case with Nato stocknumber.
Also hoarded six twins. For one of them i am looking for a right crankcase-half.
Five of them.....
But the saw i like most is the CS 4500, light but powerful enough to manage most jobs in the wood making firewood.

I have a couple of 4600's that are identical that I enjoy running as well in general firewood duty.
