Ha! I wouldn't put it past you Mark. (I seem to remember a 4900 crank mysteriously appearing in my letterbox some time ago.) I'd have to send you that old 1020 that's under the bench. Course, for a 4000.....
And be nice to your daughter - some of us weren't lucky enough to get any. Seems I can't even get me a daughter-in-law. I am just going to go out and buy a couple of grandkids to play with.

If he is going to strip the mag parts prior to painting, you might want to see if he can do a pretreatment to the metal prior to paint. As I am sure you know, unprotected mag can corrode very quickly. I noticed the XX i am working on its either pickled or chromated under the paint. It will also help with paint adhesion.
Just some rambling thoughts......

Well Santa Claus left this on my door today. It is so clean that it has to be Gmax. I love 3400's.:msp_biggrin:

Let me know if you decide not to rebuild it, my 365 is complete except for the hand guard that bolts to the top cover. Thanks for the informative responses.
The more poulan chainsaws I get into the more I really like them. For instance my 3750 out cuts my 036 and my friends 361, but my 3750 was 75.00 where my 036 was over 200.

At the risk of once again showing my ignorance :msp_unsure:, I don't know if this Craftsman bar is the hard-to-find length & mount frequently discussed in this thread, but hopefully one of y'all will know. I'm guessing not since it's been listed for a while with no offers showing. If yes, let me know, but don't make buy it or maker an offer :msp_tongue:.

I couldn't find which saw it's used on except for a Craftsman 358.351242
Seems to be lots of them out there for sale for around that price.
I thinks that is the K041 bar mount that works on a lot of the saws similar to the 3750 as well as others. Poulan still lists that part # as available for $66.54.

I'd pay the $1 price for it that's in his listing title. No way is he getting the other $89 from me (added to the price in the description)....:hmm3grin2orange:
Thats what I thought as well.
Heck the 22" is to long IMO. I like 16"-20" on those mount saws.
3-4,000
:msp_unsure: Couple of weeks ago, I decided to make up a saw for my sisters BF Kevin. All he uses are a couple of Wildthings. I found a real nice Craftsman 3.4 crankcase for cheap. So I dismantled what was left of my "ugly bastard" kinda ported 3400. LOL Swapped a bunch of parts and gave it to him. He has been wanting a bigger saw.
He used for a day or so and liked it. The rear handle that was on it, had been repaired with JB weld and finally came apart again. So I thought I would do a little more modifications to the saw.
I had a rear handle for an early 3400, so I drilled the holes out on that and put it on this saw. I also had a 4000 Piston/cylinder that I been hanging on to. Decided to upgrade the saw a little more. I recently came across a 4000 air filter cover, so snagged that and changed that over also.
I added a clutch cover I had also. Put an older 20" bar I had, and loop of the old Vanguard chain on it, till he can get a different one. The only things that are not 4000, is the muffler and starter.
I or he hasn't put it in wood yet since the change, but I think he is gonna like it! Runs very well!
I gave it to him and said Merry Christmas!! He is tickled with it to say the least. Its still an "ugly bastard", just not quite as ugly. LOL
Gregg,

Gregg,
Heck a 4000, what is not to like. One of these days I may have one.
I am curious if did a compression test on it and what it was.

Gregg,
Nuttin' ugly 'bout dat saw, Gregg. The ugly's usually on the inside IMO. That one's pretty on the inside.
3000 FPS, No I didn't
The old tester I have doesn't want to work very well. Thats an item on the I want list, that I never get around to buying. lolYour absolutely right about the ugly being on the INSIDE! I will post some pics later of another "project" I been working on. It is a sad sight for sure. Here is a pic of this saw before the change over.. Mike has one that looks very similar. Thats where I get the term "ugly bastard" from.

Gregg,
I just got a 3700 and all the mag has yellow paint (Canadian Tire colors under the green). Half the case from the 3700 swapped out on that 4000 and I think you may have all the re-badged saw colors covered.
