Thanks for the reply Mark, those saws are pretty rare, and parts are thin as frog hair. I may have to improvise something hillbillyish. lol

Gregg,
Clay, I don't remember off hand, but I think it is much bigger than that. 3/4"-1"
Modeled after the stock mufflere on the larger 4200/5200 model Poulans.
No the saw has not been repainted. Thats the problem with the lime green Poulan color. Have to have paint custom mixed. I havn't had any made up yet.

Cliff, I never said they aint cool, they surely are but not part of my "core" interest.
I get an old one or two in from time to time and then I rehome them to where there wanted even more.
I modded the muffler on my 3800
Well I followed Marks idea and tried my own, used 3/4 EMT and welded it up, looks pretty good. The only thing I left inside this muffler is the spark arrester screen, I welded the old holes in the back closed.

I forgot to mention I'm going to pickup a gray and black Craftsman 3.7 with about 6 hrs of use from the original owner. It dosn't run, he said everytime he's had to use it in 20 years it needed a carb cleaning due to sitting waaay too long. Anyway I got for $60 bucks, will post pics in a few hrs.

What is this worth?
This looks to be a F 100 that has not be run in some time. I have no sense of value on these older machines, what would something like this be worth?

Its getting to be what other kind of bars are there. Silver Streakers from Stens, I've seen recent new bars badged Huskavarna, and a lot of Stihls all look like Oregons, at least the replaceable sprocket ones. So it comes down to price. In an 095 mount, I recently bought a new one off the ebay and had it shipped for what the shop would pay for one, and its no secret thats about 40% less than list.

Sorry but i really do not understand your post? All im really asking is what other kinds of bars fit maybe a carlton sprocket tip?
Oregon makes lots of sprocket tip bars. The Pro-Lites and Power Match for example.
Here are the 20" bars. http://www.baileysonline.com/search.asp?skw=MC50+20
Here are the 24" bars. http://www.baileysonline.com/search.asp?skw=MC50+24
These bars are Oregon D176 mounts and there not as common now days. Echos and McCullochs use the same bar mounts.
You can use the Oregon D009 large mount Husqvarna mount bars but you will need to bush the Poulans 5/16" bar studs up to 9mm to fit and don't be surprised if you end up with a odd drive link count for the bar. Useally 1 drive link less.
Ok, now I understand what your asking. Carlton? Probably not going to find a Poulan/Echo mount bar from them.
Windsor makes a bar they say that will fit but it will actually be a Homelite style mount with a 3/8"s slot which will need the stud spacer/bushings for it to fit right. At least the Windsor bar will use the same drive link count.
