Nik's Poulan Thread

[67 Mustang]

This is one of the easiest tools to make, Find any flat piece of metal and drill two 1/4" holes the proper distance apart. Then take two 1/4-20 screws and grind down the threads so they fit in the hole in the clutch and bolt onto your piece of metal. I got lucky and found a piece of metal with the perfect distance apart holes in it already in my scrap bin. Here's a pic of one I made, I added a few bells and whistles.

Nice job! :msp_thumbup:

The newest addition to my harem......

Looks to be all there, except the muffler. Looks like the original bar, too. It will need an oil cap.

Believe it or not, that is your muffler, or what there is of it.

Boy! I bet this sucker will be loud, if I get it running. Anyone have an IPL, or service manual for this beast?

 

[Modifiedmark]

I found a part number in the owners manual for the clutch tool. It is # 31085 and it says it for earlier style clutches. I guess the Micro 25 switched to the new style clutch at some point. I did a search and this part seems to be discontinued. Does anyone know where I might find one? May have to use a hammer and punch after all.

I'm not sure about the 3185 tool as it is listed as a clutch wrench and is not showing as in stock anymore.

The 530031004 clutch tool is listed for the older style clutches and is still in stock.

Can any of you Poulan "gurus" help me out with ID'ing some Poulan NOS parts?? I just bought out an old dealer that had Poulan, Mac and Stihl. I have ID'ed a lot of stuff and WOW!!! What a treasure chest of stuff! Most of the poulan stuff is in the 4900, 5200, 5400 etc family of saws.

I have a few Poulan items that I haven't been able to ID, as I think they are marked with old obsolete #'s (And yes I'm aware that 5300 is tagged onto the old #'s) that have probably been superceded.

Here's one example that I believe is Poulan....This piston is 50mm and has a 13mm pin. Quite thin ring grooves and side ring locating pins......I want to guess 4900, but if you guys could help it would be great......

You believe right, that is a 4900 piston....

What else is in that treasure chest of stuff?

 

[Modifiedmark]

Had time to look at the 4900 I shared last week. I bought it when it was advertised as a 49cc saw and thought I was pretty darn clever. I was disappointed to find 3/4" of the clutch side of the crank having sheared off leaving only a thread or two to hold the clutch on. Don't know how I missed it. I noticed that the thrust washer behind the clutch was missing but was in too much of hurry to check why. Guess the original seller was a little smarter than me after all.:redface:
Anyone have a spare crank? I am happy to pay a fair price and the (considerable) shipping to me.

Al.

Al, thats a shame, dont worry we will help you get it going again. Brgs and seals are easy to get as there standard off the shelf items.

I sent a PM.

 

[a. palmer jr.]

Oh it could be fixed easy reroute the fuel line and anything else you dont see... i was just thinking how nice the paint was.... and what a pain it would be to touch it up... i could not tell if he drilled into the main case???? Or what he did with the other end of it???? Just about as bad as drilling a hole so you can adjust the carb with the cover on ....I remember some one posting a pic like that when i first started reading on the Poulan thread.... its a very clean saw except for the drilled holes LOL!

I think that would have been a nice thing if they'd done that at the factory like practically everybody else does.

Got it, thanks!!!!

Thanks for the confirmation, Mark!

I'm still sorting...lol...But most of the stuff is that 4900, 5200, 5400, etc. family.....one NOS crankcase, two tank/handles....More 3/8 spur sprockets than any man should have...lol....some NOS full wraps....and on and on!!

There's a lack of some of the typical items I get in these "buy outs", so maybe the guy liquidated once already......There may be more as he cleans up.

A 5400 full wrap????? I'm listening......

 

[Warped5]

A 5400 full wrap????? I'm listening......

(Mark is probably already 2 laps (or more?) ahead of you)

There's more than one and nobody has left the starting line.:hmm3grin2orange:

That sounds like your going to have some fun!

I have quite a few IPL's if you get stuck again let me know. I'll help if I can.

Naw, I'm not really that big on the full wraps. I do like the one on one of my 5200's as it sets a little bit farther forward but you dont see this style that much. I'm not even for sure if its OEM.

I am kinda surprised but then again not all that much as how I didnt end up with the Poulan 92 that sold today. I got left in the dust on that one. LOL

 

[OhioGregg]

Was kinda curious if anyone here bought the real nice 3400 from Ebay? Had to be the nicest, nearest to new 3400 that I have seen on the bay. Was nice to see that model go for what it did.


Gregg,

 

[cornfed2001]

got a good score a few days ago. $60 and a case of oldstyle later, im the proud new owner of a poulan 3400, 4000, and a stihl 08s. cleand up the poulans and they both started with new plugs. the 4000 got new fuel lines and filter but the bar is twisted. it has a 20", but not sure what to replace it with? i was thinking 20" on both due to having gotten 3 new chains with them. still not sure which oregon bars to go with. any sugestions? the 3400 starts then dies so next is new lines and filter then go from there. the stihl has no spark as of now but thats how i got it. i will mess with that one when the poulans are good to go.

 

[redunshee]

what did it go for?:msp_ohmy:

In the neighberhood of $185. Another nice one just sold ro $177.00. Lot of money for a 3400. I can't even get $55.00 for a 3300.
