help finding model # on craftsman "42cc/18" special edition"

[jtracy1223]

I got this saw the other day. And trying to find out more about it. Looks like it haznt seen a lot of use. It is all black with gold stickers like I said its a 18" 42cc "special edition". I have looked all over it and can't find a model number anywhere. It has a sticker back by the throttle trigger that has the numbers for the chain and the bar and some random number at the bottom (530-055869) where else could I look for a number or does anyone know about his "special edition" junker. Before anyone says anything yes I know craftsman is junk. Its more of a project than anything.

That saw is a Poulan 2375, also known as the wild thing. Looks like this correct?

Yep that her. Thanks for the quick info. Not sure if I want to invest in fixing this thing or not.

If that's what he has he isn't too bad off. The 2375 is one of the better Wildthings.

My 36cc looks just like this, except for the gold sticker ........ same primer and cap locations.
Cast in flywheel key that got filed down to 1/2 its origional thickness.
Muffler mod
