Nik's Poulan Thread

Todd, thanks for sharing and what a beautiful example! I love the soft or squishy handles on the 8500's. I understand the satisfaction from parts chasing, whether it be for Poulans, Homelites, or trucks like my Father's K5 Chevy Blazers. Great job, good for you, and enjoy! Max!

Poulan Teammates, wishing y'all a safe and Happy Thanksgiving today! Best to all, good health and safe travels! Max.

I'm just the opposite. Thankful like anything else, we have plenty of choices.

I didnt care for the foam handles on 8500 and 4000. Prefer the ribbed handles on 5400 and last 4000 I did I replaced handle with rubber covered 3400 handle.

Stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

When it comes to saving one, anything that will help is okay with me.

Enjoy the things we have this day, especially Family and Friends .

It’s a Poulan weekend here. I’m all alone out collecting firewood for my mother in law today. I really do like the 4000 but it is thirsty….. and, I really feel bad using it like this, it’s not a museum piece, but I would rather just have a little fun with it instead of risk something happening to it out in the woods.

If it means that much to ya. Put it up and just get another for use. But IMO use it.

3700 3400 4000 right here waiting on locals to need one.

Nice line up! I feel the struggle. I use mine but in a way I hope they last forever. Funny how a.fella can get attached to magnesium if it's in the right form!!

Pulled thePR 4218 out the other day to trim some limbs for the youngest deer stand. Pulled the handle 3 times and got a pop and threw it in the back of the truck.Got to the deer stand and after pulling on it a dozen times with no luck I give up.The thing was pouring fuel out muffler so I figured the carb crapped out. I haven’t run the saw since changing all fuel lines, then I thought about the spark plug. Luckily I bought 2 when I changed one on the string trimmer. I should have changed it when I changed the fuel lines Its all good now Y’all Be Safe!

Early model 3400 with the adjustable oiler and the banana bar.
Perfect for cleaning up the yard.

How does it control the flow, is it just a hose that the screw squeezes down on..

How it was explained to me was , it is just a restriction of oiler ,so I have it set to maximize oil. It does oil very well.

It gets down in the 20's F, that too cold for me now days. Have rode atv's and have ice covering us from being stupid and riding through creeks. Sorry if I made you spit your coffee, that's the worst thing to do. At least it didn't go out your nose.
