Well, it's on CL across the state so I e-mailed to see if they would ship it or I do have a friend that lives like an hour away. No response yet though.

Buying 5 little fellas yesterday just has me wanting to find more. I think I've filled the quota on saws under 50 cc though!

Are the red ones actually 3.7 or 3.8 . Always get confused.

You snooze, you loose. Better get it.

Trying to get it! Has no phone number, e-mail response only and I haven't got an e-mail back yet. Might not get an e-mail til tonight if they are not checking it at work or something. Fingers crossed

The reds are usually the 3700's, grey 3800's.

Thanks Tim. I recall a red one I had a couple hears ago had the chrome piston, thick rings and bare cylinder. That's why I asked.

 

[fossil]

That's interesting. There's a grey 3700 a few pages ago here. Canadian saw though, labelled 3.4 and bought from the original owner. My grey Craftsman 3.7 is a 3800.

 

[Craigwell]

Yup. That's my bad boy. It is the best of the 9 saws I have, closely followed by my Pioneer 1200A.

I have a fellow emailed me today about 150 saws he has, wants to get out of collecting after a bad injury had him change his priorities. Had been collecting for 30 plus years.

He sold two Stihls, two Huskies and a Jonsered today for $200. All runners.

Hoping to find cleaner Poulans when I visit him in the 3400-4000cv range, will also jump on a 4200 or 5200:

This "3.4" of mine seems to have a 3700 thin ring piston.

 

[redunshee]

Look likes a chrome piston and thick rings to me. Least from your photo.

Maybe you're right. Someone posted a pic of the two pistons (thick and thin, 3400/3700) side by side, and it definitely seemed like mine were thinner - BUT I did only pull 120 psi compression when I tested it.

[Craigwell]

Yeah, without taking proper measurements, I do think I have the thinner rings.

 

[rocketnorton]

Need muffler for the white lightning and the Remington. Also interested in 16" bar and chain for the 2300..

I appreciate your response and would definitely take you up on that offer!

I thought I was lookin @ 3 poulans, one mini mac & a ?... I have parts for the poulans & the mm... only bars I have are 12 & 14" banana bars, common on micros. pics of muffs/saws in question would help... if I can help, I will... dunno what top yellow one is in yer pic.
