Nik's Poulan Thread

They can bring pretty good money on sites like fleabay. Parts, including such mundane things as muffler parts, can be hard to find.

After doing some research, are they only desirable because of the Texas chainsaw massacre movie or are they valuable regardless of that?

Last couple 245 I sold was 125-150 for runner and 30-50 for parts saw. Shop around and be patient and dont pay the stupid money some ask.

OP already has the 245 listed on fleabay, but for a few more Andrew Jacksons over your max parts saw estimate.

With quite a bit more interest than I was expecting I might add

Feebay, heck he might pull a grand from those buyers for a parts saw.

Those were going for a lot on eBay a few years ago. So were 3700 and 4000 saws. Cooled back down since then

Need a choke lever for the craftsman 3.7 & air filter and cover for the 3.3. (Shreveport line)

I know no CV 34 37 39 40 choke levers. Maybe on the 3.3 cover. Pic of the AF cover etc. Some shiny and smooth some dull etc.

Is it the grey 3.3? Handle on cover or on top handle?


Some old parts saws I need to check from these old pics.

This is a little off topic, so I'll add couple saw pics too. LOL I took down a recent storm damaged red Oak. Top half of tree was rotten in center, and when it hit the ground, few sections split open. Was full of these GIANT grubs. Biggest I have ever seen. They are at least the size of my little finger.
Near as I can tell, they will be some kind of beetle. Curious if you fellas run across these. I have seen a lot of grubs, but not this size.

Been using my favorite Poulan saw a lot lately. The 4000, along with its lighter little brother, the 3000. They make a great pair. The older I get, I really have taken a shine to the 3000. Light weight, but still plenty of power to handle good size wood. I use a number of saws, depending on the job, but for general all around use, I will pick a 4000 with 20" bar, just love that saw!









Gregg,

Gregg,

I'm liking that Dixie can't hook. Those things are top quality back savers for sure.

Gregg,

We call them huhu grubs here but probably a different beast. Taste like peanut butter
