That looks to be a good one for sure! Steve, (67 Mustang) has one just like that. I think the guy selling it is a little off on years though. LOL Poulan didn't start making & selling saws till 1946. I think Steve thought his was built around 1950 or so.

252 bar mount pattern
Does anyone know what the 252 bar mount pattern is?

If it's a Laser Sales bar it's a 3/8 LP X .050 ga bar for some small Homelites according to their catalog.

I meant what bar mount pattern does the Poulan 252 use?
The 3450 badboy was shipped to me today.
When it gets here I will take pics of the older 3750 badboy and 3450 bb with covers off side by side to show cylinder tops etc. Plus both rear ID tags.

Gregg,
Yes, AFAIK the first Poulan two man saw was the 2400 and it's a toughie to find. Only one I've seen was locked up and little more than a parts saw. Guy wanted a bundle for it.
Why yes I do kinda...
Why would you ask such a thing? Curious minds would love to know.
Looking again closer, it appears the grommet might be missing on the choke lever, which should be there to keep dirt in and under the filter. Might want to check that.
Ok, now were ready for the running video. :msp_wink:

You know, vintage saws...found some bars and wondered what the mount pattern was, marked for the older big Poulans including the 252. NOS .063 hardnose bars.

Sandcast Poulan bowsaws
Speaking of sandcast Poulan bowsaws, I just got one yesterday, which sawmandave said might be a 51 or 65, I think. I still don't know which because the saw has almost no surviving markings except the serial number. But, I have another question, too. What kind of gas mix is safe to run in these saws? The Acres site quotes a recommended 16:1 ratio. Most new saws do fine with 50:1 using a good synthetic oil. Is it OK to use the same 50:1 premix in the old bowsaw? Should I split the difference and go 32:1 or 40:1? Any advice is welcome, especially from those who have run these saws.

It it a light yellow and looks to be the original paint.
You blew your cover. :msp_wink:
I was searching badboy poulans today again for 3450 info on google. I started LMAO when a pic of YOU came up eating the burger at the poulan gtg.
I even showed the wife and pointed. Look it's Mike the poulan badboy. :msp_biggrin:
Sawmandave,
Here's the picture of the saw againView attachment 276254View attachment 276255
That light yellow color is pretty much what it looks like. I wouldn't call it tan and definitely not green. I'd guess that in the shot of the saw with the recoil facing you, the color of the square carb cover right behind the hanging recoil handle would be the best representation of the saw's original color. Of course, the paint job on the entire saw is probably faded.
