I will say though Bob, It wouldn't surprise me at all, if someone didn't actually know what they had! Just go by what it says on the cover.:msp_mellow: Who knows how many times it was "fixed up" over the years. Parts got from something else to keep it going.
I recently made up a saw for a friend of mine, that cuts with me. All he has had, is a couple Wildthings. It is amazing though, just how much wood he has cut with them. He was kinda wanting a bigger saw. But doesn't have the money for it. So I made up a saw for him with whatever parts I had that could be used, and bought a couple items, and gave it to him for Christmas.
I made a saw with the crankcase from a Craftsman 3400, P/C from a 4000, old style rear handle from a 3400, that I drilled out for the larger screws & counter vibe parts I had. Recoil & top cover are from 3400, 4000 top covers should be black, I think. I put a 4000 air cleaner setup on. It has a 3400 muffler with couple holes drilled in the front. LOL And a 4000 clutch cover I had.
So its a bastardized conglomeration, that somebody would be hard pressed to figure out just what model it is.
Here are a few pics of it. This would keep a "Poulan Guy" guessing for a while to come up with an answer.
