Craftsman 3.7 18

[joe25DA]

hey guys i just picked up a mint craftsman 3.7 18". It has the original case, manuals, and wrench. There is not one scratch on this saw, amazing. The guy must have used it once and never again. The air cleaner cover says '82' is that the year? I believe this saw is 60ccs? Also is this a poulan clone? It seems like a well built saw I cant wait to get it going Ill post the pics tomm.

Likely a cloned Poulan. One of the bigger saws Sears ever sold, and not a bad find, it should give you decent service.

Sears sold a whole bunch of 3.7 saws that were Roper built also, in fact probably more then the Poulan built.

For the record, Sears sold lots of bigger then 3.7 ci saws.

If we had a sears part # or a picture we could tell for sure what this 3.7ci saw is.

Must have been before my time. I've never seen anything over 55cc's in Sears, I thought the only big Sears saws were the David Bradleys.

I've got an old 4.3 Craftsman. I've been told it's a rebranded Echo. Must be from the 70's? Built like a tank. Runs great. 18" bar.

I had a 3.7 back in the eighties and it was a good saw, Cut a lot of firewood with it. Back then i was cutting for three familys and it never missed a beat. The older craftsman were good saws unlike todays that are junk. You got a good find. Should serve you well.

What does a saw like that cost? I know where one is that in good running and good shape. I think I can get it for cheap.
I'm trying to stock up on good running affordable saws to resell before the "storms" come though this year.

Was it the saw on ebay? There was a Roper built 3.7 Craftsman saw on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. It was the type with the antivibe handle - not the one that looked like an old homelite. Kind of like the shape of a Poulan Micro, but bigger. That one on Ebay was mint. The case, saw, even the bar looked new. The bar looked like it even had all of the original craftsman label on it. I was amazed that it only went for about $45 plus shipping. The owner said that it even ran good. I figured that some collector might pick it up just for kicks.

I bought mine(craftsman rebrand 3700) for $35 at an auction 3 years ago. I saw a Poulan 4400 for, I think, $60-80 a month or so ago. I also saw a craftsman/ poulan 3800 for $60 lately.
