Got a question for you S25guys. Not that it matters any, just was looking at the pic of the S25AV and was wondering why they don't have the rubber AV mount on the rear of the handles. Maybe the rear just doesn't make much of a difference of the vibration absorption on these saws. ??

Here is a pic of my older S25 Counter Vibe. Has rubber iso mount in back.

This is a pic of my PP S25DA & Mike's S25AV No AV at rear of either, of course my DA has neither.

Gregg,

Nice lineup. I see I am not the first to lose a screw or two from the starter housing ;). Looks like a 10 series starter grip handle as well. I find those comfortable in comparison to the later moulded ones. A worthwhile substitution when available.

I find those OEM grips on the small side for the 3000 and 335 I have, particularly after a gasket deletion. Imagine pulling those on a larger series PP.
 
A convincingly formidable saw in a small package. That just made my day.:)
Pretty much all of the older Poulan's develop good torque. I really appreciate the 'grunt' they have and would not trade that for faster chain speed that newer saws provide. Yes, chainsaw technology has come a long way over the decades, but older Poulan's were nothing to sneeze at in their day....and will still give many modern saws a run for their money. For those of us with a penchant for things nostalgic, they are just the ticket.

Hi Flint! Good to see ya on here again. I agree with all you stated in your post on the older Poulans. But that is pretty much the way my life is...about 20-30 years behind the times. :dizzy: Just don't care for much of anything "new" or the price stuff carries now days. My cell phone is an old Motorola flip phone, and rarely use that. My trucks are old, my tractors are old, my saws are old, and so am I.

Gregg,
 
Freaky thing happened to me today. Just the other day we were talking about finding missing screws, bolts etc. I mentioned that a number of years ago I lost a muffler bolt off my PP380, in the woods. Found it with a metal detector. Today I was working on some more of that Ash. Was using my 380. About half way through, I noticed one of the muffler bolts was gone! YIKES!! I stopped there, went and got the detector. Found the bolt fairly quickly.

The weird thing about it is I have used that saw numerous times since I lost the bolt the first time! LOL Guess I better slather that thing with some Loc-em-tight, or spot weld it on. Or just not talk about it anymore and hope it stays put.:eek:

Amazing saws ain't they. I had to make a few cuts with my 245A today. One pull with the choke set and it farted, next pull with choke off, and away she went. Better than most NEW saws.
And sorry, no bow saw parts here. Something I never got into.

Gregg,
 
Can anyone help ID this part? Is it the manual oil button for a PP 655 OR P62?

Gregg,


Maybe you should tighten the bolts up? Just sayin.. ;)
 
This is a pic of an aftermarket Poulan 3700 thick ring aluminum piston & chromed bore 'kit'.

The piston skirt measures 1.872 & the bore is 1.876" diameter. The only marking is a Poulan logo & 28479 on the cylinder flange. The rings are standard 1/16" thickness, & it should run very well.

I'd never seen this on a production 3700 saw, so it may be a repair only kit.

hmm, i passed on it because i think it is aftermarket. Is there a Poulan logo on it anywhere? nice buy if it holds together.
