Gregg,
I would be nice to find a bag with a cat like that in it.

Those cats are similar to a male calico.
They do happen by, but not very often!
I need to take mine out for some exercise before it gets lazy!:hmm3grin2orange:

Poulan 5200 Reman Cylinder Piston Ring Set Great Find | eBay
Any you fellers here happen to buy this 5200 P/C kit that was on the bay awhile back? The reason I ask, is am very curious to how it works out. Its the identical kit I acquired couple months ago to refurb my 5200. Gonna be awhile till I get it finished, spring sometime I hope.

Gregg,
I hate I missed that one, I've been looking for one of those......
Thats to bad Randy.
When I saw that listed, I figured you would be the one to get it. I know you were wanting one. Maybe there are more of them floating around out there. Thats two of them that have surfaced in the last couple months.Gregg,
Got me a saw born the same time i was. went to the beach to get it
my first sandcast saw, Poulan 47, bought from the original owners grandson, been sitting for 15 years and the gas in it looked new and did not have a bad smell to it. this is it tonight when i picked it up. The Smokey Bear scabbord has to be a bonus!!
it has spark and series compression. the bar is a 20" hardnose 72DL you can still see the Poulan logo in white in the middle of the bar.

Nice find!! :msp_thumbup: It even has ALL its knobs on top. They usually are missing at least one.
Gregg,
Very low hour saw, looks like it's been vacuum sealed. Look real close at the chain and see if it still has "Poulan" branded chain on it.
Nice job finding that one. Can you post the number off that bar ?
For what its worth, Poulan listed those bars as 21" bars.
Yes it is a Poulan branded chain.

I have a Craftsman model 2300 CVA which has a chain brake. All the ones I've seen for sale up here in Canada have brakes. The brake handle is cast mag rather than the wire type on yours. Maybe it was an option is the US.

4200 cylinder
Looking at my 4200 cylinder; it has a bridge in the exhaust port. The port also appears to be wider than the one in my 5200. It's wider than the muffler opening.
Is it likley that this is a replacement cylinder?

No not really rare, but not everyday common either. What is intersting is that has a Micro 25CVA style handle and a 2300 decal on the drive cover. Whats it say on the recoil?
4200 cyls were bridged exhaust ports. At least the several I have seen are.

I've never seen one before, but I am not as well versed as some others here.
