Picked this one up recently. It was high on my wanted list.

If that saw runs anything like the one I had the only way to explain it is that it's an ABSOLUTE ANIMAL! Great find Steve!:msp_drool:

picked these up this morning​

PP365 and PP505.

Great find! That 505 is an awesome saw and pretty desireable on here. Looks like it's been worked but that's what their for right. Hope ya can find a chain brake for it.

Do they both run and did ya get a decent deal on them?

the guy i bought them off of said the 505 runs. he says the 365 runs too but it idles erratically. havent had time to really look at them yet. picked them both up for $250. i know the 505 is similar to the jonsered 2083. but what is the 365?

YOU SUCK! :msp_thumbup:

Got lucky! Even a blind hog finds a hickory nut once in a while. :msp_smile:

I agree with Brian, Steve..You suck

Not really...I think thats one that is high on a lot of Lists. I sure hope you have room in the truck for that bad boy, come GTG time..LOL

Great Looking saw Steve!!!

Gregg,

If I make it to the GTG, and I hope I do, it'll be there... Along with a couple more surprises.

Thanks, John! I hope to find some wood to stick it too soon that deserves its attention. :chainsawguy:

Believe PP 365 is similar to Poulan 3700. 3.7-60cc saw

 

[redunshee]

got 3 projectsaws done tonite the one 2.1 craftsman thats was giving me such a hard time i took it all apartso i could get at it the other day replaced the o-ring and used a permatex gasket sealer i used the other day on my trucks water pump grey stuff seals real well!!! let her sit for a few days fired her up pumped the oil boom she was spurtin!!! and the then the auto oiler kicked it also!!!


swawaped out point and did fuel lines on one i got from joe25da she purrs nice old blue 2.3!!!


then i found all my parts to that 3.7 clutch man that took alot of searching!!! im stubborn! put it all back together yanked out the muff screen tuned the carb im still gonna rebuild it but she fired up and after running awhile runs pretty good! i may see if i can find a simple way to modd the muff on it seems like it has alot of power as is but i keep hearing about how it makes a big difference! just gotta find a no weld method!!!!

I do the easy mod approach by enlarging holes in baffle. I then drill two half inch holes in the bottom front of muffler.

Yup. You hit a home run Steve!

Yeah, Bob. Been extremely lucky lately and right now I owe my soul to the company store. The resident "CFO" has me on an extremely paltry budget. :msp_rolleyes:

The 375 is based on the 3700. The 365 is the earlier version of the 380. Pure poulan, no jonsered pioneer or partner in the 365.

I picked up this 306A today with a group of other saws. It is sporting a 28" McCulloch bar which is about 8" too much. Not only is the saw not strong enough for that much bar, but it makes it REAL nose heavy.

Here is the other stuff that came with it....

Just makes me sick looking at scores like this that's all I can say! This area sucks for scoring good/deals on saws. I'm thinking about telling the wife we need to move so I can find some deals on saws lol!!!

Great score BTW

I got lucky on this one. I found an ad on Craigslist yesterday for a yard sale this coming Saturday that indicated there would be 4 chain saws for sale. While the ad said to call, there was no number listed so I sent the seller an e-mail asking what types of saws he had.

This was his reply "1 stihl O11 AVT. 2 homelite super XL 925, & 1 Bow saw, 1Poulan 306 A." Needless to say, that got my attention and I sent him an e-mail asking him to call, which he did. I explained that I would be out of town this weekend at my daughter's swim meet and asked if he would consider selling them prior to Saturday. He told me he had no problem with that, so I made the hour drive today and got the saws. Unfortunately only one Super XL 925 in the group, but I did get him to throw in the extra bar and chain that I found in the shed.

By the way, all the saws we stored dry but all ran with mix down the throat.

I finally got this S25CVA out to do some real work today. I dropped, limbed, and bucked about 8 Locust trees with it in my front yard. Unfortunately, the ignition trouble is still there. I must have a bad coil. Take a listen and see what you think.

BTW, this was the 8th tree this chain had cut, and it had touched dirt.

Yeah Brad that saw is definitly breaking up, she has good power though considering. Is it electronic ignition or points??

 

[stubnail67]

cool video!

i could not hear my sound is messed up on my pc looked cool!!!

 

[stubnail67]

got a quest!

so on a pp 295 the muffler on the back has lil angled vents these face towards the clutch side right???? took the screen out and did a lil open up to it i could not remember and faced it towards the starter coil side but it sure seemed to blow in my face thats with the cover off to dark to mess with it any more tonite! but im guessing it goes to the clutch side?

It was points but I put a Nova module in it yesterday with no improvement.

Gave away my last coil
i find the hi speed hard to tune on them,when you put the cover back on it richens them up a bit,something to check thats easy anyway.
well,i'll give ONE more good look under the shop tomorrow for a coil...seems i had more of them than i found last time.
