Nik's Poulan Thread

that doesn't look too correct to me, usually they have a round metal piece with two notches in them to grab the flat the pawls. Looks like you need a new starter pulley.

Poulan 4000

Okay so now that I only have 1 4000 left, I decided to get a project 4000 to work on. I'm disgusted with my 245A air leak and am shelving it for a couple months until I calm down. Got the 4000 of Ebay and supposedly it has a good P &C. AV buffers are shot but that's no big deal. BTW anyone ever find a source for crank seals?

Bob, A year or two ago, someone was selling gasket kits with the seals for that series of saws on the Bay. But I havn't seen em for a while now.
The few that I used, were from those kits. So, I never tried finding the seals separately. If anybody knows, I'm sure it would be Mark.

Gregg,

Just wanna say the 3400 looks nice sitting next to the 3700 same color scheme stickers to:biggrinbounce2:

Thanks John (ms460woodchuck) i hope your son enjoys that little echo!

Also got both the 1800's home one has bad seals but good compression, the other has a bad p&c so i think one of them should be running by Monday HOPEFULLY!:biggrinbounce2:

All i need is a 4000 and i think im set for a while. Even one that needs a little tlc i dont mind. PM if you got one please!

Gregg,

Well, I've contacted at least 6 sources and they were all NLA. There is one seller on Ebay who has them at something like $11.95 for two. Its high, but if he's the only one who has them I guess the market dictates the price!

No Brad you don't have to change anything to put a straight bar on it like a 306/245. You will have a slot cut in the case and the cover though and might get a few chips thrown at you.




They actually still use 1/4" pitch today alot. Mostly wood carvers as it will work better then 3/8's low pro on those narrow tipped bars. It actually cuts pretty good anyway.




Depends, can you weld magnesium? :hmm3grin2orange:

Thers not but two things I can't weld... a broken heart and the crack of dawn!:hmm3grin2orange:

Your sure its a Poulan hard tipped? Lots of those were actually 17" bar and used 61 dl if I remember right. Most 16" bars used 60dl.

Sorry didnt mean to doubt you just asking if it was Poulan branded.

Like I said lots of them were actually 17" bars .

That is the bar and chain that was on it when I got it and the chain is a 60DL and it will fit because I had it on there and ran it. It should be a 61 DL but I don't have one laying around. I'm telling ya though the 60 that you got WILL go on it.
