Skip for surewhat would be the recommend chain to run on a 36 inch bar on a 5200/8500, skip or regular?

Ha it's a truck. Far from new tho! Also far from a new truck price.
1984 GMC Sierra 3500
9' Omaha flatbed
350/4spd
Rebuilt engine/clutch done at same time
Needs a pitman arm, one broke leaf and some rot on driver side floor. Some rust here and there frame is good. New rockers, cab corners, fuel tank, tires are 85%. Comes with a plow

You should be able to get a bunch of saws it that machine. Hopefully somewhere behind the plow.
I think that leaf is supposed to be like that. I know the Gov't weigh scale guys used to look for that leaf touching the bracket above it for overweight trucks. Sure could be wrong though.

Agree with you guys. Unless Joe is referring to a different leaf.

I had my reservations as well, but didn't know of anybody else that had that color paint. Roper or Lombard maybe? It was from a rather vague post and seller didn't know what models they were.
Well, Here is a time killer post, brought on by boredom and too much coffee this morning. 
What saw would have liked to see Poulan make, that they did not? Or, wished they would have made, is probably a better way to put it.
I have always said I wished they had made a 70cc version of the PP380/3750 etc. The more I got to thinking about it, would have been nice to have a 70cc & a larger 85/90cc version also. But, they would probably had to make them on a slightly larger platform I suppose. To handle the larger bars that would likely be used with them. Still, I think would have been a great series of saws. (similar to the 372xp & 385/390xp Husky saws)
Who knows what might have been, before all the buyouts, takeovers, etc. And, Poulan was still a separate company, on its own, so to speak. They no doubt would have ended the big reed valve saw line. Like the 7700/8500. But would be interesting to think what they might have replaced them with. We will never know, but its fun to dream a little..
Gregg,

I agree with you on that Gregg....would have been nice to see what all would have came of things, had the merger's/buyouts and EPA involvement not happened the way it did.
On a side note...I did see a decent looking 3600 with a loooong bar on it end on the bay last night for $53+$22 ship. Missing top cover, but otherwise seemed like it might have been ok. Probably should have bid on that one. Maybe someone here got it?

I like 'em green
How about if they would have made MORE of certain saws like the 6000, 7700, etc. They seem few and far between and would be cool to have one of those as well

what i mean is if ya bought this thinking you could run it how would ya feel LOL...
I saw that the other day also. I rarely go on ebay anymore, but the night I did, I saw that 3600. That is kinda rare, seems to me anyway. Just don't see that model number much. Looks like a very long bar on that also. I see it was a west coast saw. Probably long bar & skip chain from the looks of it.

I was thinking the same thing earlier today.
I have been lucky and had the opportunity to run both. Don't own either though. The 7700 seems to be a rare bird. I actually ran a 7700 & 8500 back to back several times. I was shocked and kinda leaning towards the 7700 as the better saw. Maybe better is the wrong word. Just seemed real close, and maybe smoother, if thats possible. Like maybe 77cc is the "sweet spot" for that particular series of saws. But, I would gladly have either...LOL I never run a 6900 though.
A newer version of the 4200. I ran a 4900 once at our GTG, but I think that one was (modified in some way) don't remember. Maybe had a 85cc top end on it???
Gregg,
