John Deere 300CS

Guy trade one of these in on a saw I had for sale. He knew
nothing about it, just said he couldn't crank it. It belonged
to his late father in law.
Upon further investigation, I noticed it was exceptionally clean
with little run time. Bar and chain were dry, so I suspect a bad
oil pump, but haven't checked it out. Surprised that it looks
like it is made by Homelite? Has to be torn down really good to
get to the oil pump.
All JD I have dealt with were Efco or Echo.
Anyone with experience with a JD 300CS?

Thinking it was JD that had bought Homelite out for it's
chainsaws and OPE. I got a big JD yellow homie trimmer.

Yep
1994 - John Deere acquires the Homelite Jacobsen products but
the Jacobsen commercial products remain with Textron and remain
today as a Textron company.
2001 - John Deere sales the Homelite brand to TTI, a Chinese
conglomerate.

Been many years since I worked on a Homelite. Wonder how many
people knew they were buying a Homelite at a John Deere price?
Glad I don't have a lot of money in this "Homelite" and wouldn't
have even took it on trade had I known.

As I stated, been a long time since I worked on a Homelite
chainsaw. Engine had a lot of movement inside case, and I
discovered one mounting screw was broken and other two were
loose.
One screw is behind the clutch and needs tightening or----
removal to replace broken screw in front.
Problem is, it has an outboard clutch and drum is retained by
NUT instead of "E" clip. I am 90% sure it is a LEFT HAND THREAD
but the other 10% leaves room for crankshaft breaking! ! ! It
is very tight!
I have never encountered a RH thread in this type application
but who can tell me for sure?
If I could see some threads on crank, I could tell.
