The later ones had that info. The early ones didn't. But generally the 2.8 had an 18" and the 3.3 had a 20". These saws as far as I know were never offered in red/black like the larger frame 3.7s. The model # on the top cover will get you the engine size, also the 2.8 is chrome piston the 3.3 is chrome cylinder I think...
I thought the 2.8 was chrome piston.

Top cover has model number 358.356280 .
They are and the 3.3 in grey too.
2.8 18"
Like this one, was wrong, doesn't have 2.8 18 on cover, Got this one around 1985.

Interesting. So Sears was probably carrying a real solid line up then. Had the 2.3. (S25), the 2800-3300, 3.7 and 5200. I don't think that you could get all those there much past '86 tho
83 2.3av, later was gray. I think they put the exhaust shield on them then.

Pretty sure the 3.3 was bare bore as well. S/A Poulan 3300.
My Sears best 3.3 was a chrome bore but thats probably similar to a 335
3 different 3.3 out there. The grey 3.3 was bare bore. The sears best with blue was chrome bore. Not sure on the 3.3 with gold but think they came both ways. Just my WAG.
I figured if anyone knew, you would JJ, being you post this series style a lot.

I am in the process of moving a 4620 motor into a 2900 chassis because the PO let the muffler come loose and it burned a hole in the oil tank. My problem is that the antivibe attachment to the cylinder head (bolt) snapped off in the head. I think this will make the saw very floppy to use if not dangerous. Any advice on drilling out the broken bolt?
If the bolt is not bottomed out it should spin easy and come out. Try something with a sharp point and see if you can get it to spin.
The head snapped off so I don't think it will spin. I'm going to have to try to drill it and then use some king of broken screw remover.
Try a left handed drill bit, it may help it come out.

Todd, does your green 3700 have the two prong pulley?
