Info on older Poulan

[Jason280]

Thinking about a winter restoration project, and came across this older Poulan. Saw cranks and runs, and seems to have pretty good compression. Not sure of the chain length, or the model, but curious how available parts would be.

Any guesses on a model and rough year of manufacture? Motor size and HP rating? Any reason to avoid this project, and what do these saws generally go for in this condition? Thanks!

The bow is worth twice the saws worth, but it's an old school 360, 361 or 400 model.
Probably is a 361 as they were most common.

Most parts are NLA from Poulan, but are still around if you hunt for them.

As Hotshot said, a 361. First "modern" saw that I bought back in the 1970's. Not really powerful enough for the bow, I would be willing to buy/trade if you want a bar.

What would be a fair price for the saw in its current condition? I believe the guy is asking $100, but may be able to get it for $75.

If it runs I would pay $75 for it.

Buy it hurry before someone else tracks it down on you
