Wow that is awesome didn't know that they were that much lighter. That would make a difference at the end of the day cutting wood. Nice post

Yep you got that right. When I go to the mountains and cut the weight does make a difference especially when limbing those Lodge pole pines.
A little comparison.
Husky 455 rancher.
Sthil 036
3450 Type 3. 60cc. My tag came off but the other way to tell are the extra cooling fins on top of the jug. Only difference between a type 3 3450 and 3750 besides decals is the clutch. All the 3750 got the HD 3 shoe clutch
Wow didnt realize it was another 1lb saved from the high tops to low tops. Almost a full 3lbs there difference.
Guess I know what I am liking those 54cc blue black 335's as my small saws even more now.
Sold all the high top runners off and down to just selling the parts off to folks, helping them out with NLA and builds.
I've had 3450's 54cc with front exit and 3 shoe clutch saws come through my hands a few times. This one came with the side muffler mod too.
Found the Type 3 60cc 3450 I had with tag. 1999 sold to local ready to cut firewood with $200. Had front exit, 3 shoe clutch.
Been 5 days. Unless the guy asking about the 505 cylinder gets back with me and wants it.
Slowly pulling the pieces to build that 83cc oem double ring piston 505. Unlimited 415 coil and crankcase. Yellow updated tank and air filter set up.

No rules with Poulans. Only had 1 front exit saw too.
Next guy that ends up with this 3450 T3 will only notice it with 2 shoe clutch. Guy was cutting wood and spring broke on 3 shoe. I didnt have spring on hand so we just pulled a 2 shoe from one of my saws so he could keep cutting that day.
He ask if I cared if he just kept the 2 shoe. Told him NP.
To me it dont matter 2 or 3 on these.
Both super Pro 380 saws I had were 2 shoe. One was front exit. Both PP 365s I had were 2 shoe. Those were older not sure if they offered the 3 shoe in the early mid 90s. Those 4 long since had new homes
This is Green Ripper at 16.5 lbs 98cc
This is RIP jr at 15.25 lbs and 71 cc
I guess those extra cc's do add weight. I would not have thought it would add that much.
The 3400 was 14.5 the 71 was +.75 lbs and 2 lbs for the 98cc . The big one has the 5400 crank and the 1" aluminum spacer. It adds up fast. What does the stihl 880 or the husqvarna 395 weigh.
You do bring up a good point. So not bad when you compare.
Here I found a 394xp weight.

Stihl has a 91cc at 16.8 and the 880 is 121cc at 22 lbs
You know for 98cc its actually a nice weight really. Google says the 395 is 17.4
I had an itch this morning so went and cut a second side port in the orange 4000.
Sounds nice now just a little deeper tone than the two pipes could also be the brake changing the sound too
Bars buried there both right on par with each other. I'm not sure if it has made a big difference power wise as I had a slippy clutch but certainly sounds more exciting lol
Todd I couldn't hold back anymore and tried those shoes. I checked the drum and yeah still square so gave it a rub and put it together. The old shoes were very warn and now it seems good as gold cheers mate

Got tired of being stuck inside the house and went out side and finished up the stack of Elm. I hate splitting Elm so I noodle it all. About 1/3 of a cord.
Used the 3800 to finish it off today since it is running good again.

Good job on the muffler, Green Ripper has the 2 ports and it changes the sound
