what part of jersey are you in?

Real good 56cc saw. Old school Poulan that's just about bullet proof and easy to work on.

I bought a used one in 1988 and it's still running strong.

Never had a problem, or even had to replace the fuel line. :msp_biggrin:

How much are you looking to get for it?:msp_confused:

 

[jughead500]

How much are you asking?

 

[redunshee]

Unfortunately the 3400 is very common on the resale market. Seen them go for as little as $75 in running condition. Worth more but the market is the market.

If you are looking to sell this you should post in the appropriate forum before you run afoul of the moderators.

Not as high revving as an 026 but a lot more grunt

 

[hoeyrd2110]

put an 18" and full chisel 3/8's on it and you will forget what a 026 even is

Yep.

I have both and with 16" bars, 3400 with 3/8 chisel and 026 with 22BPX, both with muffler mods and I would say they are very close. Mind you the 026 compression is at 186 lbs and the 3400 is at 130 lbs. Two of my favourite saws.
The 3400 is from the era when Poulan built pro saws. An amazing saw from an earlier time.

Try and find a good running 026 for $50.

...........and then there's the larger displacement 3800, 3700, PP375, PP395, and 4000 Poulans on the same chassis. Not really any heavier than the 3400, and much more beans than the stihl.

aaron, is that one you where talking about that was on CL?

You mean the 3800? Haven't called that guy. The 3400 in my pic above isn't in my possession anymore. With a different AF cover, clutch cover, handlebar, starter handle, bar nuts, and B/C.................that saw sold on ebay last month. It now belongs to a guy in Va. That 18" bar and chain now belong to an AS member in Mo.

 

[Magnumfloyd]

So it should handle bigger wood better then my 026 is stock to many opinions on muffler mods have me confused

[hoeyrd2110]

yeah a 3400 will handle a 20" much better than a 026
