I have a 50V and it looks a little different on the cover for the air filter. I got parts for mine last winter. It was an Echo. I got the parts through a local chain saw dealer. If you have a good saw dealer locally he could probably help you.

That is either a 60V or 70V, I have a model 50V and it has the 18 " bar, Not a 40V or 50V they are much smaller. Their are books on Ebay for about $23 that cover the model 50,60 and 70. These saws were made by Echo/Kioritz for JD. It should have a model plate right below the clutch.

I bought a John Deere (Echo) just about 31 years ago that looked very similar to that one IIRC. It was a good saw, I sold it when I left the farm in 1984. Bought a McCulloch Timber Bear about the same size as the John Deere was (55cc, 20 inch blade) in 1992 in California and it's still sawing for me....true, I don't use it much. The Echos were made by Koritz for JD.

A 60V or 70V will have a decompression lever to the right of the top cover and a chrome metal ring on the left side around the starter rope. A 50V will not have these features. I have a 50V that has Echo 425 parts and ID on it after being ran over by a pickup.

I'll check, but I think my manual covers 50, 60, and 70V saws. 60 and 70V look very much alike if I remember right.
