Craftsman/Poulan 3700 Brand New

[Rockland Farm]

I PM'd the guy and he answered me with post #13 . He shows his location as Ct. but now he is in California ???? Put a price on it and list it in the classifieds . Or go fishing on Ebay . I don't know but something doesn't feel quite right about this one . If I am wrong I apologize .

So what you're saying is that you're going to dance around the topic of price, and never actually put a price in public. Once you get a handfull of offers, you'll privately let everyone know that they need to up the game, and then sell it to whomever you can get the most out of? There is a place for that, and it is called ebay. There is also a place here for classifieds. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but there have been a few of these "what should I do with this" threads lately. If you want to sell the saw, put a price on it and sell it for that over in the classifieds.

Exactly, Ebay will establish a price for better or worse.

Sorry OP, but I also agree with the others, put a price on it. I get people that contact me selling saws a couple of times a week. I don't like hearing the "your the chainsaw guy...what will you give me". My answer is always the same, "as little as I have too...you start me out" then it goes to, "I looked on ebay and they sell for $$" which is what people ask and not what they always get. If you want to squeeze every last cent out of it, the bay is the way to do it. Buy low...sell high as the first rule of negotiation. Second is know what your selling, do the research then put a price on it even if the price is through the roof. If you want to have fun and really find out what its worth, put it on feebay start at .99 no reserve and see what it does. It could go for more than you think but sell for less also.
Put us a link here______________________________________________

BTW; You do have a gem for guys that collect...but as said earlier not a saw people will fight over. That is a very very nice saw that I would love to own and put to work. I don't have money for collector saws though. Maybe someone will be bold and throw you an offer here.

A nice saw but not a collector saw in my mind. I'd like to buy it but just because it would. A nice clean user.

Wonder how the carb, crank seals, and fuel lines are after all those years sitting?

Probably fine since it never saw fuel

3.7

I see this post is a year old, I would love to purchase your saw if the price is right. Someone commented it would be worth more if it was a Stihl or Husq. I have several old Pouland (working saws in my collection). This saw is a Husqvarna before they were imported here. It would be worth much more if it was a green Pouland instead of red Craftsman. I have 5, purchased all in good running condition. Paid $46 for #1 $52 red #2 $66 red#3 $126 green Pouland- worst looking of the 5. #4 was used one time close to yours I wanted it and paid $126 plus $28.99 frt. Before I got it I saw one that never had gas in it in perfect condition and bought it for $75. I lucked into a pouland 4000 on craigs list in prefect condition for $90. I'd say $150 would be a fair price, if green Pouldan $200-220. They are good saws I have a husq365 and 372 it comes closer to the 365. They are good saws.

NO! That saw is 100 % North American made Poulan, Not Husqvarna.

3700

I know it was made here, but look at I think its a 61 husq they are the same. I have a 245A which is a Pouland. My 4200 and 5200 are Husq saws. In 1981 I worked for a company out of SC we sold Pouland in about 6 states. At the shows the Pouland people called Husq part of a partner group. Gorman Rupp was another part of that "partner group'' Gorman Rupp sold trash pumps that had the Bierd Pouland name. The year I sold for them we had 5200,4200,245A, 306,3700, 3400, super 25 and the 2.0 micro saw. They had a few other models that we did not keep in the sales vans. I understand they were made here but I think it was made off a husq saw. I have a real nice pouland 6000 that is a saccs dol. saw.???? I'm 1981 the I bought the 245A new ,it was old school like an XL12 homelite. Its a 4.5 cube saw the 4200 was 4.2 and would smoke the 245, high speed vs low torque. I would rather have a 3.7 than a new 460 husq.
Do you still have the saw? still want to sell it?

 

[1Alpha1]

How hard would it be to start? :msp_wink:

 

[cmarti]

I tried to make an old one that pretty....You can pick them up for under 100$, but unlike yours they will have battle scars....They are solid saws, consider keeping it:dunno:

 

[1Alpha1]

It looks exactly like a Poulan Woodshark that I used to have.

It is called POULAN not pouland to start with, seems you should know that walking through a door for a job that so called sold poulan. The 3.7/3700 is 100% POULAN not a 61 husqvarna. The 4200/5200 are 100% POULAN not husqvarna either. And yes I would hope you would prefer a 3700 PRO SAW over a cheap plastic landowner saw like the 460 husqvarna.

Thanks for the info, from time to time all these saw builders use other saws, some of the new Jonsereds are Husq, my buddy has one just like the 460. never used a 460 most of my saws are XP saws. I have a tree service have a new 395 haven't used yet, use a 385xp and 2-660 stihls and several 365s and a 372xp. I do like the 350-351s. Have 2 55r with 325 chain cuts good. Would like to have a 346xp. I think the 372 is about the best I have ever had my hands on. My first 365 sp came from a pawn shop paid $100 for it looked bad but great saw.

Absolutely NO relation to a Woodshark, other than both being made by Poulan.

As far as I know Pardner, ALL new Jonsered saws are Huskys.
372 is a great saw no doubt about it. (Some are better than others)
I have a 351 you would probably like.

Do you by any chance have a cousin over in Tennessee?
