Here's mine. Efco 152. I absolutely love this saw. It is such a smooth running saw. My first saw was a non running homelite 12xl. Sold that cheap at a garage sale a few years ago. I served me well and sat on the shelf mostly. My efco I've had for around 10 years and has cut alot of trees.

Efco is a top notch Italian manufacturer. Tilton Equipment imported and sold their chainsaws and trimmers under their Olympyk brand name, we sold hundreds of them.

Interesting Bill. The newer John Deere I have is an Efco/Olympic (CS36).
My father in law gave me mine. He purchased it with a 16" bar and the dealer swapped it out to 18". When he was done taking care of the dead fallen trees on his 12 acres he gifted it to me and I've taken down a few hundred trees with it now. I just tore the whole saw apart this fall to replace the outer plastic body/case and clean all the crevices out. It had a hair line crack at one of the studs to hold the bar on which lead too a leaky oil tank. I found a new take off case from chainsawr.com. I knew that Efco made the john deere ones and now since I need to order a brake band for it, I also learned that Efco also made them for Cub Cadet. So my efco 152 is also a John Deere cs52 and Cub Cadet cs5220. If I need to replace the saw, I will go Efco again. All my friends that have l helped clear land with like the feel of it better than theirs.
Haven't used the 2 Poulans in my garage in a couple years... Now I need one at least Weds morning. (always take an extra saw when you NEED to get something cut)
Half a dozen pulls on each, and they fired right up.
Yea, those two aren't commercial machines, but somehow, they're extremely reliable...
