Do I want a Poulan 4000?

[ChillyB]

Local guy has a running 4000 that he'll sell for $50. Cant tell bar length. Seems like a decent tinker project.

Renowned for its excellent power, I'd say it's worth getting.

Best saw I ever had. It's a 65cc saw with lots of torque, auto and manual oiler.

for that price, if you don't want it send it to me

Great little saws. Been looking to convert mine to a 4000 for some time. Legendary saws!!

yes you do.

Just sold this one for 200. I have 3 at least over the years. But I let the collectors get them after I check over. Sold all of them for 125 to 200. Seems fair IMHO.

Rebuilt carb, new lines and tank vent.

Part alone are worth more then the asking price. IMO buy now.

I like mine also. Power galore:

About all I had to do was make a new choke lever for it. This puppy has no trouble pulling a 30" bar if needed. I say you should buy the saw. $50 is a steal.

Are those Poulan 4000 manual oiler only?
About how old are the 4000's?

I've noticed after mostly using my auto oilers chainsaws that I catch myself every once in awhile not doing enough oiling on the manual oiler type saws.

Auto with manual too.

I dont collect so dont pay attention to dates on these.

This may give a idea when introduced. No clue if right as you have a 50/50 chance there. = click link.

13 lbs and made in the 80's. (back when good saws were made)

I've got couple of the little light weight Poulan S25's top handle series that are really good saws, manual and auto oilers and will pull a 16 inch bar easy.

I don't collect either, but it seems like I do collect by just stumbling into saws I cannot refuse repairing and owning. I do give mine a workout in the wood lot every fall.

I have around 3 of the Poulan 4000's. They are good saws and for 50 bucks you cannot go wrong. Easy to work on and seem to just go and go.

Little more then that. Roger weighed them. Here is 3700 with no chain brake. PHO dry.
