Nik's Poulan Thread

Helping a guy in CRG with info and just mailed him the ring needed.
He couldnt figure out why he couldnt get the 36.5 ring compressed to go in cylinder. Broke a new ring in end.

I thought of a couple micros I had on shelf and pulled apart for a look. Was thinking one might have a ring he could use. After I showed him this he understood.

Steve They had a 3400 bow saw there and I didn’t even pick it up and look at it . I’m getting better ! But I do think I’m going to thin the heard a little bit ,so something has got to go .

Is there any difference in the 4000 counter vibe and the 4000 professional ?

Well said Steve.

 

[Hoggwood]

Legend has it if throw a Magnum sticker on a saw it is good for an extra 1/2 horse. An Xtra Potatoes sticker, about the same. YMMV.

 

[s sidewall]

I've heard of that legend before so it has to be true.

Will a strato 42cc pull a 18" bar. And dose it hurt it to run it with a bigger bar

 

[s sidewall]

18" is what's on my wild thing. It's been pulling that size for a long time. What will hurt is a dull or damaged chain that won't cut or the saw isn't tuned correctly. Strato saws are tuned differently than a non strato saw. You can run a 14 or 16" if you want but wouldn't go past 18".

I like trading with folks when they need parts I have on hand. Not about the $ with me.
I know folks make their own and poulan has a tool. But this just looked good to have in the tool chest.

Copy and paste alot of his info from website.
HOMELITE POULAN MCCULLOCH WRIST PIN AND BEARING REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION TOOL

Took this on trade on a poulan cylinder and piston.
https://www.sawsalvage.co/products/...ctor-removal-tool?_pos=2&_sid=ca7a973d4&_ss=r

SOME TYPICAL SAWS THIS WILL WORK FOR:

Homelite 330
Homelite 350, 360, 450, 550, 650, 750
Poulan 3400,3700,3800,4000 etc
Mac 10-series, 700 SERIES
Mac 600 Series
Mac Large Frame

Easily and simply pull and reinstall your wrist pin for piston replacement on the aforementioned saws. Also can be used to remove and install piston pin bearings with the larger M8 screws.
REALLY STUBBORN PINS MAY REQUIRE SOME HEAT
If you want to see a video of us using it search YouTube for:"The Duke's Saw Salvage Poulan, McCulloch, Homelite Wrist Pin Removal Tool Explained"

We use a thread insert and proper screw to step down the socket cap screw on this tool so it can be used for smaller diameter wrist pins.
Will come with:
Tool
Stainless Steel Thread Insert (Made in USA)
2-M8 Screws
2-M5 12.9 Hardness Stainless Screws
Makes a tough job a little bit simpler!

I got one of those pullers when I got the 4000 cylinder kit and I was very impressed with it. Nice tool to have.

 

[s sidewall]

Hows that 4000 kit holding up Mr. Todd?

 

[Todd Loosli]

Holding is the correct word. This mess put a hold on getting any pistons to test. Overall it is a wonderful kit and will be fantastic when it becomes available. It's a waiting game for now.
Today I went and cleaned up the 2 piles of rounds and chips from the testing this winter. Told myself I wasn't going to do that again until I have a better place to do it. Fun but a waste of wood. Had 1 load of rounds and another one of chips.

I figured you had made one.

Good to know.

 

[Todd Loosli]

I did make one but this new one is simple and easy to use. Mine pushes the pin out and the new one pulls the pin out. Mine had to be very heavy to push but the new one does it with a 5mm bolt. Mine was like pushing a chain .

I love the excitement of a box with something green in it arriving at the house . Feels like Christmas in May !

 

[s sidewall]

Well it didn't come from around here cause there ain't a Menards store in theses states.
