Nik's Poulan Thread

[fossil]

That pic with the P/52 has me wondering....Is that the equivalent to the PP 455? If not..which one is?

Gregg,

I think the only two in that displacement were the Poulan 455 and the Pioneer Partner P45

PP405 is the 65cc saw like the P42

Anybody doing anything fun or saw related today? I will be working 13 hours today and 10 hours tomorrow so let me know what ya'll are doing so I can live vicariously through you this weekend

The price was cheap enough so I took a gamble and picked up a 3450 yesterday. Looks rough but there is not a scratch anywhere under the dirt. That made me think it was scored along with the bad pull feel. Unfortunately, I was right. Have you ever seen a regular 3450 Timbermaster with the purple plastics. I'm thinking someone did a swap with Bad Boy parts. But, you never know with Poulan... B/C also look new but have rust - nothing a good soak of WD40 can't take care of. I mainly wanted for the different set up of the larger carb, intake and muffler for a p/c that I am thinking about porting.

Or do you hat what's his name is and bolt an 038 top end on

Explain please. You have my attention.

Ugh, forgot about the 405. My mistake.
I know 475 was a jred. Wasn't there a smaller rebadged jred too?

PP415 is the little brother...

Sorry for the derail... I know it's not a poulan

But it is a chainsaw.....and a cool one .

Check and see what type that is. If it's a type 3 it's 61cc. Take a pic of the cyl head, if it has vertical fins its 61cc. Not a slouch if it's a 3.4 saw either

Yup. If you look at serial # if it has a 3 at the end it's 61cc.

Boy it is cold here! I just took the '84 for a ride into town, it fired on the third try after some pumping and wasn't very happy about it for the first few minutes but it smoothed out and ran good. My wife's new pathfinder wasn't too impressive and its 6 months old. The wood stove is loaded and we are happy to have it tonight

 

[joe25DA]

Oh. It's about 1* outside right now.

There's another, the 425 I believe. 3000FPS let me cut with his 475 at a GTG. That is a very, very fast saw in stock form.

Love that truck Joe, those square bodies are cool rigs!

Well. I guess my memory is as good as a stump sitting in a field. It was the 445 of 3000FPS I ran.

Was heading out ice fishing this morning, my truck said it was -39 C (-38 F).

Thank goodness for ice huts and propane heaters!

The 425, 445, and 505 siblings are cousins of the 415 and 475.

By marriage or is this an incest thing?

Purple 54cc 3450's are pretty common. I have had 5-6 of them.

 

[Chris J.]

Our high today was 77F with around 85% humidity. I ran the AC to take some of the humidity out of the house. The temp was OK, but sticky.

Was hoping but not a type 3. The first thing that I looked at was to see if it had the Gilardoni cylinder.
