Yah, Stephen has motives .... he wants her to call him after she has purchased another saw for him to 'rescue!' :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
 
Actually she told me that.....I miss stated that in my origional post. I have been married for 40 years I don't see anything happening...but one never knows....at our age I or my wife could kick off at any moment......good looking young gal that likes running chainsaws.....:msp_ohmy: got to keep all options open:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

We're gettin' closer here .... wonder how she is with (1) an arc welder (2) driving a tractor and (3) cooking up a pot roast .... :msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:
 
So it would be Ok if she drove a tractor to bring you a good pot roast? :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

She can fly an airplane and airdrop it if she cooks. Ms. 8433 cooks just fine, when she cooks. She does a bang-up job on the cleaning and laundry. The welding helmet is mine, hate resizing it after someone else uses it.
 
Do any of you guys know what the difference is other than paint between a Craftsman 3.7 and a Poulan 3800?

I'm pretty sure all grey and black Craftsman 3.7s were Poulan 3800. I just sold my grey and black 3.7, but the IPL is identical to a 3800, however I had a 3800 with a Zama carb and the Craftsman 3.7 was a Walbro HDB, go figure????
 
Title says it all.

I cannot find a pair of rings for my S25DA. Part # (530029391)

Tried four places now...only to have them call or email me back saying the part is NLA. :bang:

I have a new piston, cylinder and all gaskets coming, but obviously I am dead in the water without rings.

Anyone have a source for rings or have a pair they are willing to sell.


Thanks guys,

Flint.

I'm pretty sure this is the deal right here??

so do I have a chrome cylinder or a chrome piston:msp_ohmy:

Poulan 3800= chrome piston, this saw is just a big bore 3400 lol Not to worry anyway, you obviously know how to run a chainsaw, so that unplated cylinder will be just fine...........
 
...I think I have derailed this chainsaw thread...back on track. Do any of you guys know what the difference is other than paint between a Craftsman 3.7 and a Poulan 3800?

so do I have a chrome cylinder or a chrome piston:msp_ohmy:

A grey/black Craftsman 3.7 or one of the 'late' red/black Craftsman 3.7's would be a Poulan 3800 with the chromed piston and bare bore.

An earlier red/black Craftsman 3.7 would be a Poulan 3700 with a chromed bore and a bare piston.
 
Actually she told me that.....I miss stated that in my origional post. I have been married for 40 years I don't see anything happening...but one never knows....at our age I or my wife could kick off at any moment......good looking young gal that likes running chainsaws.....:msp_ohmy: got to keep all options open:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

and if something should happen to me, my wife has a barn full of boy toys to get rid of, perhaps she would meet someone she likes in the process ...I would hope so. I don't think either one of use would enjoy living alone much.

I'll have to assume your wife doesn't read these posts!

Nice saw stephen. 160psi is a very good number for those as well
 
I was lucky enough to use my PP335 this weekend, I got a tank thru it and adjusted the carb a bit. I am very pleased with the performance of this saw, even more so considering the saw was used commercially then left under a tarp on a plile of other saws for who knows how long! Plenty of power to pull the 20" combo. I missed out on the PP330s but this saw fills the void nicely. I still have to do a compression test.

Mine can weld, although she really doesn't like sparky things she'll do it. She can drive a tractor and makes one hell of a pot roast. She's learning to run a chainsaw as well. I want her to have these skills in case something were to happen to me so she doesn't have to rely on others.

Sounds good Joe. There a good solid saw. I know its green brother the 3300 runs plenty well.
