Looks like an old Partner P41?

Just got ahold of a Skil 1621.

That brings me to five 3400 variants, and I'm probably done.

2 craftsman 3.4's (one is actually a 3.7)
2 mastercrafts
1 Skil 1621

Still have yet to lay eyes on an actual Poulan 3400 lol

Meant the original 3400.

 

[Craigwell]

Yes for sure, I might need to trade for one or get it from eBay or something. I'm starting to wonder if they were sold in Canada - or in Nova Scotia ..

I have a pic of a tronk 3400 elsewhere you dont have. Another variant you call it. Oh its orange

 

[Craigwell]

Yeah I know there's a few others .. I might have to stop and wait for Poulans. I will pull the muffler in the next couple days to see what p/c the skil actually has ..

Sent from my Prism II from T-Mobile's slow edge network :-(

Looks like an early 3400 with brake for the Canadian market. Looks decent in the pic. I suppose it is worth $100, but is more than I would pay for a saw that you would have to go over. Unless you really wanted one. I know I over paid for one of my 5200's, but I wanted it! LOL

Gregg,

 

[Acornhill]

If that saw runs and operates correctly it is worth that all day long

Gregg,

thanks, would've been my guess, 3700 woulda been next. tank smelled like gas, but was milky beige color. condensation maybe? don't want that bad. 4000 like that, id think about. I, too, paid "too much" for my 4200, but wanted it bad. first saw I ever ran...

+1. he said it did. wasn't good bser - about a few things. wouldn't pop on the slop that was in tank...

I can't speak for the Mac PM605, don't know that I ever ran one. But, I would be lost without a 4000 Poulan..
I'm just so used to it, tackles 80+% of what I cut. Most guys now days will prefer a light weight, high rpm, plastic fantastic, that sounds like a bumble bee on steroids. I don't have to tote a saw 2 miles up a mountain to cut wood. So weight of a saw never really bothered me. They have auto & manual oiling, plenty of power to run 20" or 24" bars.
Super reliable, easy to work on, and I always thought they were some of the best looking saws made.

Gregg,

 

[blk05crew]

I really want a 4000 as my next saw. Might even sell a saw I currently have to get some funds for one. Or trade somebody here that might have an extra one

Tore my new to me PP380 apart and found a long crack in the flywheel side case half. Thinking of using JB Weld to fix but wonder what other cases might fit. I split case to access the crack and hopefully fix it unless someone has a better idea.

330, 336 or 365 will work but the last two have the impulse barb in the case which will have to be plugged off which is no big deal.

Sorry to hear about your luck but I had my doubts about that guy.
