I use electrolysis to clean stuff like that just takes just awhile

This was quick and easy and I kind of like the bare metal look.

Be nice to have my bars the same color as my chainsaws.

Dont worry Gregg. I had to put plow back on today.

Had to use 4x4 on wives suv at bottom 350' of lane to get back from supper and shine run.

My next project. Been wanting one of these since I first read about them. Now, the recoil says 3.3...but poulan lies to us! In a good way. As is the case with many of their saws this saw was marked lower than it's actual displacement. This is a type III saw 60cc. It's a wolf in sheeps clothing so to speak. 155 psi, runs good but I'm gonna clean, inspect and replace fuel lines and mod the muffler. I've done 4 3400/3800 recently so it's time for a change!

Nice Joe! Looks like a good project!

Nice Joe! About a month ago there was a 3450 on Craigslist, probably less than an hour from me. He was wanting $65 as I recall. Don't have a clue if it was a 60cc or not. I never looked into it. My luck it would have been the smaller one. But I guess that wouldn't have been a bad thing.

Gregg,

Hey Kevin, Do you know if it makes a difference what color they are? Them 3450's. I think that one I seen on C-list was green & purple, not the green & black like Joe's.

Gregg,

The green and purple was the Tim Allen signature series IIRC.
Could be wrong on that though.

Could you please explain the term Type III. I've heard similar types I - II etc but don't understand the meaning.

I know there was a green & purple 3750, that was a Tim Allen sig saw. But the 3450's that I have seen were not.

Best I can tell ya is, they just made small or large changes in a specific model, usually related to EPA regulations. Sometimes not ALL the parts may not be interchangeable. A type I might take a different part # for a piston, or cylinder, than one for a type III. Etc. Most of the parts are more than likely used on all types. Thats why its important to have IPL's for your saw, and know what type it is. Clear as mud. Eh

Here are a couple examples of ID tags on Poulan Pro saw.

Gregg,

green purple 3450 worth good money. Only seen 2 so far whole and 1 in parts. Most green purple are the 3750 ones.

Grab it if you can for a collector type. I got mine and passed it to mike for what I paid.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

We got a whole thread on just the ta 3450.

60cc compared to the 54cc ta

 

[Fubar]

there's a completely blue poulan pro pp4218 or it may be pp4618 , i didn't get that close of a look at it , in a pawnshop i stopped by the other day , anybody seen one of these or have the scoop why its blue ?

 

[joe25DA]

Another easy way to spot a 60 cc saw are the cooling fins on the cylinder head. The 54cc saws don't have them. As seen above

 

[blk05crew]

Does anyone have an extra correct hand guard for a 3800? I think I want to add one to the 3800 I have that doesn't have one. I have some parts to trade if anyone has an extra.

What type? Handle mounted? Believe I have one.

You got it Joe. That's the Gilardoni cylinder.
