Craftsman top handle red version of Poulan 25, with powersharp

[kevin j]

So I bought off CList (because my first free given to me saw was a poulan 25 pos) a red Craftsman top handle that seems to be a rebadged 25. Picked it up and it has the powersharp clutch cover. and a pretty good stone (Has a regular chain, to be expected, as they didn't work very well).

Model 358.352151 is not listed in Acres or Oregon, but I assume it is because the powersharp gave it a unique number.

I'd like to get it going, just because, but will be a shelf queen, not for working.

Q's:
1. Which Poulan version is it? I haven't spent much time on Acres, could figure it out, but figured Mark or someone would know right off.
2. How common was the powersharp version?
3. Recoil plastic hub is broken. What will fit, or not fit? So many versions of the 25's. Are there any metal versions of the hub? Irony, I gave away two 25's last fall that I had for 10 years. They weren't the same as the one I had, so figured I'd never get them going. Now I wish I had the parts.
4. Will the new Oregon PowerSharp (with the plastic thing at the tip) chain work on this? Appears to be 3/8 LP .043 52 DL. Are the bar tip radius vs. sprocket radius vs. tooth shapes such that it could work?

No pics yet. will add tomorrow.

The old powersharp worked pretty good.

No, the new powersharp chain won't work on the old stone setup.

Show a pic. No time to look up the #. I have craftsman S25CVA S25DA 25D all with powersharp. Some stuff missing on 2.

I'm totally digging the one that has antivibe. Is the red one a 2.3?

They made those with anti-vibe? I did not know that. Something else to watch for.

That saw is like a 25D far as I can tell. Notice I said "like" rebadged saws are not always identical to the Poulan versions. Seems the Power Sharp on these were much more common on the Sears/Craftsman saws.

It clearly says 2.1 so its not Super and probably a manual oiler only.

I have new and used recoil pulleys and I might have a power sharp chain. Did you get a roller nose bar with it?
