Is there a year when 750's started to have chain brakes installed? That Canadian Ice saw got here today. (there has to be fifty pounds of shipping material I think I could build a dog house with the crate) I thought the guard in the Epay photos was a actual Guard, but it is actually a Brake that grabs the clutch and has springs and things to keep the chains from turning. Is it a Canada thing to keep the french safe? Or did all of the 750's have a brake after A ralph nader moment in history? RS Ps I tried to host a picture and may have messed that up. this is supposed to be a picture of a crate against a 16' garage door. WTF I will have to spend actual time to read up on this. img79.imageshack.us/img79/390/1002498small.jpg |

The IPL lists the Chain Brake Kit as a separate item on the first page. There is no picture of the components that make up the kit but there is a listing of all the parts. I don't see anything in the owners manual that covers this.
All that bar and the ice is melted ;D

I came across a chain brake for one a few years ago. I do believe it was from Canada as well. It was the only one I'd ever seen. It had a 650 label on it, but its the same part numbers as shown for the 750. I sure don't know the history, but I'd start leaning toward the theory that Canada had some ultra safe laws in effect prior to the US regarding use of chain brakes.

When the Ice shows up you tell yourself you can go tomorrow to cut and tune. When it is melting you start eyeing up the trees that *need* to be trimmed. There are no Rakers on the chain....... (I knew better) i just touched an Ash Butt I have laying here and flipped it right over..... Won't do that again RS |

I would be very happy with that packing. Bill I am happy, with the crate, the quality just shocked me. the saw was shrink wrapped, then packed in foam which was craddled in loose cushions and the wrapped by carboard and then nestled into that coffin as Sassy (the wife) puts it. I paid shipping on a #80 assembly for a #30 saw. RS |

Dan After further thought the following was recreated. "Insensitve reference about the french and possibility they need to be *protected* here". Dan do you recall what year chain brakes were mandatory in the US? RS |
