Nik's Poulan Thread

Can't see the difference in the above cylinders but you can in this, red is a 3700 the other is a 3400 or 3800View attachment 642810

No wonder a 3700 feels noticeably stronger

Did a poulan 330 up for a local guys order last night. Opened up inner baffle, put a gill on front cover side for dual port. Took a K095 bar 3/8 050 72dl and elongated the bar tensioner slots for oiling. Also so he could use his 72dl chains from other saw.
Then set a little fat around 12.8K with a 13.8K oem max setting.

Nice work, I have an NOS 330 I've never run, I do have a super pro 380 that runs very nice tho. Actually going to be selling a couple NOS poulans, not the 330 tho.

I see some Deere in your stable in the background, wished we had one with a cab, all ours are open station. Be nice to have a/c and heat.

Well, those are the schools, I'm a wheelhorse guy. Those pics I took at my shop in our maintenance garage. I refurb all our equipment over the winter, and my stuff sneaks in too! They do a nice job but they are beat to hell. I've brazed radiators and welded cab supports, every storm they make it through is a blessing. Scheduled for replacement soon...allegedly. Maintenance voices always seem to be heard the least around here.

Sound like at the shop, we told service manager a SUV needed a battery four times, guess what, I replaced the battery yesterday after sale department went to show it and it wouldn't start.

Sold that one and bought 3 more. Never ending circle I cant keep ahead.

If a guy dont come up with soon on this 3750 TA soon with badboy still on the bar it is going to get listed for sale at my site and group.

New owner sent me a pic cutting yesterday with it in downed cherry.

I'd buy 3 more if they showed up. Fact is the 330, 3450, 3750, SP380 are elusive around here. 2800, 3000, 3300, 335 saws pop up now and then, I grab those and the craftsman cousins

Was 3450 330 026. So 2 out of 3 not bad.

Only reason the 026. I had a standing order to get or build guy one. So tore down now.

330 I sold in back ground. so camera wouldnt break.

Stephen,
Do you know if anyone has ever made template copies (via a black/white copier) of the inner & outer starter discs for the 4200/5200 series?
I have seen the gaskets on copier paper (thanks MM), but I received a starter with no fiber shims at all, part numbers 5300-42039 & -42041.
Thanks

 

[s sidewall]

What would you make the discs out of?

Mark & I just had a discussion about this, milk carton works for a little while but what I found to work better is plastic place mat material or the closet organizer plastic from the container store

UHMW polyethylene sheets.

They work great & are slicker that goose **** on one side & textured on the other side.

Sweet NOS 306 bow saw, EBay shelf queen

Not mine & not for me, as mine all cut firewood as designed!

Will probably fetch over 4 Benjamins at auction closing time.

He wants $600, he stopped listing last year when it did not get high enough for him

Ain't place mats a little thick, I do like the milk jug or antifreeze jug idea, made a friction disc for our Yanmar hand throttle lever a few years ago, still holding up, had to roughen up a bit on both sides to make it grip.

That way too high, but would be sweet to have that buried in some red oak.

So I assume your answer is no...and no spare parts.

The next time any of the Poulan fans tear a 5200 or 4200 starter housing apart for “spring cleaning”, please throw those two discs on the copier!

You’d sweat cutting red oak with any kind of saw at your place in August...lol

Will a 46cc top end go on a super clean poulan 2200 farmhand, pre-chainbrake?

I've seen this saw on CL here in the Richmond area off and on for months now. Beautiful specimen to be sure, but pricey. So, now it's on an auction site again? Wow. I'd have to use it sparingly, but I'd have to use it. You know what I mean? Max.
