Which one?

Lately, they have been using 359's, wish they would have stayed time specific.

Part 3 was a chromed 038

I think the origional movie was a poulan 330 painted yellow

Pretty sure it was a Poulan 306A, in the original movie.

Thats what I was trying to remember, YOUR RIGHT.

 

[bigjake]

They probobly had to use a old pulon to cut flesh.Just kidding pulon guys.

It's been kicked around here before, came down to Poulan 245A or 306A, 306A seemed to be the consensus.

245a?

The saw in the first picture appears to be a 245A. Externally they're the same except for a taller gas tank / air filter cover / handle and a different muffler. Both differences are visible in the pics.

The saw in the TCM pictures:

Looks more like a 245A:

Than a 306A:

This is always being asked and it's always said its a 306a, but like said above, it's a 245a for sure.

If you know the difference you can tell very easily by the taller front handle, gas tank cover and air filter cover.

 

[romeo]

The luvers in the muffler is the biggest give away I can spot.
I suppose its definitely a 245A with a yellow paint job and a piece of electrical tape.

 

[Modifiedmark]

Sorry Smercier, I didnt notice your text above the photos, didnt mean to echo ya....

Romeo, that is the real early cast muffler on the 245A pictured. Most that you see will have the "tin" muffler, as far as I can tell.

Here is one of the 359's they are using in the latest movies, just like they had back in the 1970's.

Part 2

What was Dennis Hopper running in part 2. I remember he was running 2 at a time. Pretty funny scene when he was trying them out at the saw shop.

Was leatherface running a rancher white top?

 

[HolmenTree]

At least they got the brand right in the first Texas Chainsaw Massacare, isn't Poulan originally from Texas?

 

[Bob Wright]

isn't Poulan originally from Texas?

I think they were from SHREVEPORT, LOUSIANA at least thats what my old lit says...Bob

Yes, Claude Poulan started in Texas and then moved to Shreveport.
