Nik's Poulan Thread

[Todd Loosli]

I saw the starter pulleys last night and got a few for myself. Now I can fix my brothers 3400 that he gave me last year.

I like the green but I like yellow also.

 

[Todd Loosli]

I have a few red but no yellow, maybe I should catch up and get at least a few. What is the first one I should get??
That is a nice line up, what are they?

Starting from the left side of the picture.
The first 2 are Poulan 505.
The 3rd one is a Jonsered 2083
The 4th one with the full wrap is a Poulan 475
The 5th one is a Poulan 445.
I do have one more 505 that is not in this picture that I use on my mill.
They are all good runners.
The first one I would look for is the 505. Even if it has a bad piston but good cylinder you can fit a piston from a Stihl MS660. I think you would be very pleased with that combination.

Arent they all Jonsered saws? thought the 505 is a2083 clone and the 475 a 2077 clone. The 445, I'm not sure of.

Per an old post by Saw Troll:

The 445 was a Partner design, made at the Husky factory in Sweden. Although they were made at the Husky factory there was no Husky version - only Partner 710 and Poulan Pro 445 for this one (71 cc), but Jonsered as well for the larger cc models.

Yep Partner design made in the Husqvarna plant labeled under Poulan Partner Jonsered.

Its one of those discussions there is no wrong in. This is a Partner project to begin with.
Partner and Jonsered merged in Jonsered and had this project going before the engineers from Partner/Jonsered got moved to Husqvarna were all engineers was mixed and got projects of any of the brands within Elux.
A buddy of mine was working in Husqvarna a few years before this and at the time they got merged designed something on the saws as well.

Lot of stuff pending and holding for folks.

My last 2 runners are first 415 that was sold new with partner air filter cover and the updated tanks and air filter set ups. Then my first 445 and both at lost fights to trees before I got them and redneck the busted case areas. Both topends still like new etc.
Once their gone I then will be selling of the NLA hard to get parts too.

That would be a yes there are a few. Not my cup of tea but there are some who really like them.

Anyone have a Poulan model 47, 51, 53 could be more. I would like to Know the Diameter of the recoil cover.
I'm looking for a Fairbanks Morse recoil it has a 4 3/4 in diameter, same style as on the Poulan with the screws on the outside.

 

[Todd Loosli]

The only old saw that I would like to have and I have only seen a picture is a old mac that has the engine and the gas tank is a round one hanging on the handle bar. Though it was cool looking. Don't know if poulan made anything like it or not. I will do some looking for a number.
I found some kitchen cabinets that I am putting in the corner of my shop. Hope they will get some of the stuff off the floor and the bench. About 5 feet each side of the lazy Susan. Speaking of her, she won't even help clean up. Lazy thing.

Pulled a tank from a 330 to help a guy out that has one with a seam leaking.

This is the saw I tested as a ported 380 with 24" 3/8 buried at one time. Then tore down and started parting it out.
