Could be a 53 or a 65 those were good running saws anyway great score.
Just when looking up the odd #'s are direct drive and even are gear drive.

david ,, ps can you take a pic of the top name plate , i can usualy tell by the way poulan is marked on top , they changed the way the emblem looked too as to what year it was & also reflected the # too , hope we can see somthing

Things are slow

Boy, do the threads bog down in the winter. Maybe the politicians will ban it.

I got that 3400 I promised to fix running like a top in trade for three old red saws. Put about $20 in parts in it so with my gas I picked up 3 good project saws for about $45. It was nice to fire a Poulan up and get out and tune it some frozen wood. I haven't done that for a while.

On a different note; I put a carb kit in my Sears branded 2300 CVA today. It wouldn't pull fuel for anything. Kind of ticked me off so I took the carb apart a checked my work and all appeared good there. I decided to take a drink of mix and couldn't pull anything through the fuel line so I figured I'd crimped the line in the handle but all was well there. I looked further and found that I had kinked the fuel line near the tank. No complaints from the saw even though that must have been like having it's willie caught in a zipper. When I unkinked that line he shot a string of gas for about 8 inches (not bad for a little saw) likely out of relief and sheer joy.
I'll give it a chance to fire up tomorrow in the freezing rain.
Had to write this out of sheer winter boredom.

sawmandave,
Here's the photo of the top plate. L8ike the 2 sideplates, there are almost no markings left, but there IS what appears to be a serial number - 284224, if that tells you anything. Thanks for the speedy reply.View attachment 276005

Well Tim, we've even got snow on the ground way down here in VA, so I'd imagine things are a bit stir crazy up your way by now. At least you are working on a few saws and getting them running. Good on ya!

Thanks for showing Dave, I really like the 86 Super and the Poulan clock.

There are no sandcast saws around my area that I have found really, but I have been keeping my eyes peeled for some time. Think you could russel up a couple of 92's for us? :msp_biggrin:

I was looking for some part saws online when I came across this old 2 man poulan, it looks like something someone here might like to check out.
