Calvin,

Thanks for sending the filters.
It sure would be handy to know what the parts you are running on the specials fit.

I am not as smart as most of the Poulan guys on here and the numbers don't mean much to me.
But if your description said.........Clutch bearing for 3400-3700.....that would perk my ears up real quick.

Dayton 4Z251A

Well CAD hit again. Picked up a Dayton on Ebay a few minutes ago. With this saw I believe I have all the rebadged Poulan 3400's. Now have a Craftsman, a Skil 1641 and now the Dayton. Are there any other rebadged 3400's I"m not aware of? Soon as I get it I'll post a picture ,though I 'm going to wait for cooler weather to tear it down. This Texas weather is killing me!

I don't remember if they were still making the Western Auto that late or not.
Allis Chalmers saws ended with the 306-245 I believe.
I think there were some Canadian "proprietary" saws on that platform.

Seems there might have been a Wizard 3400, but don't hold me to it.

Allis Chalmers ended with the 306 I'm pretty sure of.

I hope it turns out good for you. I thought about that one myself. If it's top end is good , then that was a good price.

I just recieved a Dayton 2Z970 (S25CVA) today myself. Needs some TLC but it will be fine.
 
Here is one of my rare poulans I have that I drove to the twin cities to buy about 6-7 yrs ago. I made a trailer to mount it to so that it holds my chunks and keeps me from bending over. This dude runs like a top and rarely finds rounds that it can't bust. I have used many splitters and this is the best set up yet. Unless of course you've got thousands to blow on one.

Anybodyelse got one of these little gems?
 
It is a 5 hp tech. It came with a briggs but it puked like most briggs that I have owned. It starts on the 1st pull every time cold or warm. I know it needs a muffler but I wear ear plugs so it really does not bother me.

That is just like mine I bought a couple of weeks ago, except it isnt a poulan. Same tank and valve and everything, just a black cylinder. Mine is a montgomery ward, but they are made by Ditier (sp?). So far so good with mine, I loaded up a nice size piece of hickory and it pushed thru it no prob. Mine is fixing to get an upgrade though, I just got an old trailer today Im gonna bolt her to.
 
Poulan 3000

Got my 3000 put back together and running. Starts and runs real good and I'm pleased. However I've never seen a saw go through bar oil so fast and leak all over the place. I've turned down the oil adjustment screw but once saw is off it still leaks out of the oil outlet hole. Is this common to this model saw? Need to put back together my PP305( essentially same saw) and will be curious to see if oil leaking is also an issue.

Bob, I don't know that much about that series of saw's but my first guess is the plastic line from the oiler to the bar mount on the case maybe broken inside the tank. That would leave a open hole from the tank to the oiler hole. Check and make sure the cotter pin is in the vent hole in the side of the case also.

Let me know what you find.

Yea., Mark I thought about the cotter pin in the vent hole and will check it. I believe the plastic line is intact as I blew air through it and it seemed to work okay. Because the oil feed line isn't attached to the oil pump but relies on a tight seal between the pump and saw body, I'm guessing vacuum inside the tank is causing the oil to continue to drip out of the oil discharge line. Beats me but I'll keep you posted.

I'm not so sure by just blowing air in one end of the tube that you could tell that. If you blow air in it and it was broken it would just go into the tank and then back through the other side of the broken line anyway. Take a really small wire and fish though one end or the other and see if it comes out the other end of the tube to be sure.

Will do. By the way I think the bar that came with saw is all wrong. The oil holes on the bar are way above the oil output hole on the saw. Don't see how oil can get to bar. I think I need a taperred tip bar. Its a Windsor bar with C50 with a upside down A. Also 6 50 16 UXL 50.

4000 is finished!

the saw is done, torn apart, cleaned, painted, carb kit, recoil spring, pulley and rope, new plug, tyon line, new fuel filter, and all put back together. the comp is about 130#s, and good spark. I fired up on the 4th pull without priming the carb, then stalled and died. cant get it to start have turned h-l screws in and out no luck. alot of gas coming thru and dripping down the exhaust. any ideas?

Sounds like you need to go back into the carb and check your metering lever.Usually the gas flowing freely means the needle valve isn't closing properly,either from a little debris in the seat or the lever height is incorrect.

That's what i thought, at least I don't have to take the carb off to do that. The rebuild kit comes with the new metering valve but not a new lever. the lever was gummed up pretty good but i soaked it for 8 hours, then sprayed it.it moved smooth. Ill check it again though.
