What is the story on that?
Why did poulan get away from building the bigger saws?
Was it due to E-lux wanting to push the market share of bigger Huskys I wonder.

you guys are having way too much fun....Hey help me be the first guy to get my feedback score off of zero....I don't have a clue but at 63 years old and a little gimpy I hate being a zero...if anyone can do it the Poulan guys can...
Stephen, I think that feedback thing, has something to do with selling stuff on AS's classifieds. Kinda like Ebay feedback.
Gregg,
I haint no tease, I put out buddy!
If this works right you will see the 8500 puts out also.

That all depends on who you get your information from!
The timeline pretty much proves to me that Elux bought Poulan for the things Poulan had on the drawing board, the EXTENSIVE dealer network (especially in the southeast) and to use as a prostitute to keep the Husqvarna name off the "homeowner" saws.
Whatever the reason, it was a great move on their part.
The Poulan name kept the lights turned on and the payroll met and the Husqvarna side got the glory and kept the shareholders happy.

Finally, and I mean finally I think I got the 71-A all figured out. Runs real good now.
I thought I had it good for the Poulan GTG and it did run good with the straight bar, but not so good with the bow.
I finally got a original needle lever spring for the carb and found I had a problem with the fuel filter not hitting the front of the tank when used upright.
Seems good to go. After this was done we advanced the timing on it some more and it sound even snappier. Will give it one more run tomorrow.

Sounds like the same thing that happened when they bought up Partner. Those 5000 5500/325 etc was way ahead of their time too IMO.
Yeah alot the same but Partner got screwed worse. I mean they were demoted to consumer saws for Europe like Poulan was in North America, but they didnt even really got to make there own consumer saws. Elux had Poulan make em for them.

That saw is missing something, I can't quite place it, just seems it needs something............
all but one of these saws in this pick have it but I just can't figure out what it is.
OK, that saw needs a full wrap, other than that it looks perfect.
Sounds like y'all had a great time and that 8500 looks and runs GREAT!!!! Wish I was closer instead of 800 miles down south. BTW...what exactly is that white stuff on the ground?

Gregg,
I understand it has to do with the "auction" part of the classifieds.

Tell me about it!
Looks good...Those are good running saws with the mufflers opened up and a good chain!
Did you swap the turbo/clean air components? I think they should fit on with little or no trouble.

Your right Kevin, would love to have that sign, but not at that price.
Someone should tell the seller that sign isn't from the 1960's.
Thats a 3400 on there, they weren't made till about 1980, maybe a year or two earlier. Me thinks some body has been watching to much American Pickers!!!

Gregg,
I had said that about Pickers elsewhere, has ruined cheap butts like me from getting signs reasonable to hang up in the barn/shop.
No biggie I can live without for those crazy prices. :msp_biggrin:

What are the banners listed under. I was looking and did not see them.
I'll go see if I can turn them up. Heck I just used banners banner etc.
Might have ended since I saved the pics and be in completed listing now too.
None sold. In completed listings. Bet you contact seller he would give you a deal on all 4 of them he had.
They're all under completed listings now marked as sold.
