Nik's Poulan Thread

Aaron actually the 1/8 X 3/16 is the spec for all of them. I dont know why I used the .117x.211 except that it might have been all I had on hand at that time. It is not really right as its a paint to pull through but it will work.

I think I said before I prefer the 3/32 X 3/16 for the Micros as the 1/8"ID stuff kinks easier then the 3/32ID stuff dose and the 3/32 is fine on the S25's as well.

As for the .117x.211, where it works well is on the 3400 etc with the plastic tanks when there original holes are stretched out and wont hold the 3/16OD tight enough.

Sorry for the confusion.

As for the difference in lines, Tygon is only rated for 10% ethanol while the Oregon is rated to 30% ethanol.

The trade off is the new Oregon line is just a hair stiffer but will outlast the Tygon in ethanol situations.

Another thing is the Oregon company is a first class outfit with great customer service, at least in my experiance so I dont hesitate to support them by buying there products when possible. Up and down there line they have good stuff as well, top of the line for aftermarket as far as I have seen.

I just bought a set of Oregon blades for my Grasshopper mower and was more then impressed with them compared to other aftermarket blades.

Thanks for the line size/application clarification Mark. What I was refering to regarding the line differences was multiple listings for the same manufacurer/ID/OD/lengths. Not Tygon vs Oregon, but Tygon vs Tygon and Oregon vs Oregon. I'm going to ask Grande Dog this question in the Baileys thread to see if he can shed any light on this. Here's an example of what I'm talking about on the Baileys site:

Both these listings are for 3/32"x3/16"x50' rolls of Oregon line. The stock numbers and prices are different, but there is no explanation why. Also no pictures to compare. There are similar "dual" listings for other sizes/lengths of Oregon line on the Baileys site. There are also similar "dual" (and sometimes "tripple") listings for seemingly identical maker/ID/OD/lengths Tygon line on the MFG Supply site...

Sorry Aaron, I misunderstood what you were after there.

Woodpile is complete for the next year or 2. Now it's time to start working on the saws some to get them ready.

No problem Mark. I'd been rambling on a bit. Gregg answered my question in the Baileys thread.

Ramble on? No couldn't happen.

Is the S25DA an auto and manual oiler? I see the manual button but want to make sure...

Yes it is.

Who here can tell me the Poulan chainsaw connection of this pic? Should be an easy one for this crowd. It's a data plate on a 1957 vintage air compressor in the basement of a grand old building that's now being destroyed. Had an Ingersol-Rand Type 30 compressor head. I posted more pics of said building in the "WTF Pictures thread".

Craftsman Chainsaw Bars for trade (yes, I know that this is the Poulan thread).

I previously posted a link to some Craftsman bars listed on Craig's List, & this' what I wound up with. I'm probably going to keep the two 14" bars, two 16", two 18", & two 20". Someone contacted me re a 20", but I don't know if he's interested in .325. If anyone is interested I can get some photos of the packaging that list the models, or you can probably find the info on the net. Note--I think that these are old part numbers.

Aaron,
When I worked in the quarry drilling biz, the receiver (yeah, the big tank) needed to be inspected so often. Maybe its a state thing, but that one is in Kalifornia, home to many obsure rules and regs. Anyway, they stamped the inspection date in/on that tag, as doing it on the tank was verboten. Kinda like LP cylinders. I see no dates other than its manufacture.

Back to lime green saw talk.

woo hoo first race!

Friend AS member josh1981 came over today, we had a good time running each other's saws in some big pine and big oak then some small pine. Had my first race, 3400 versus his dolmar 5105..WOOHOOO big pine log, 24 seconds for old 'merican iron versus 26 for new german tech.

Sorry no pics, his Gf took a bunch, when they get home maybe they will add some. Ran a buncha saws, he got to try out my "green brick" and was impressed, said it was noticeably stronger than his creamie 192T. I tried his 441mtronic and was really impressed. I have to admit, that's a haulin' ashes saw. Kinda neat how you can feel it adjusting in the cut. Also tried his stock husky 365...hmmm....ya, it's strong, but......about like my echo 600p before I toasted it. Going by memory and feel.

We also ran my *mighty* mac 3216, that and the big stihl were the only one pull starters in the bunch.

Anyway, good times, hopefully he'll post some pics later or tomorrow.

ya, he wants a rematch next time, I offered a three cut match..we'll see what happens.

edit: second try at editing here, it ate my first attempt.

Finished up cutting up the big oak branches we started on yesterday, then noodled the oddball chunks to fit the stove as all nighter pieces. Still have to haul all that big stuff and split it and stack it, but at least I can get it out of the front yard now, pieces I can handle moving. Had to stop and sharpen once, sort of a dirty log. Had to chain it up with the deutz to flip it over to finish the main cuts.

The big trunk in the first pic is what is left of this tornado damaged tree (same one, it shed a similar sized branch that smashed the cabin). Have to wait until I score a much bigger saw, like around a 90cc with a 36" bar to do it, something like that. Not even thinking about it with a 20' bar, just the branches had to cut from both sides!

That's my 3400 in the pic

Lime green chainsaws were built by Beaird-Poulan for a long time. This air compressor is a bigger brother to them. Made by the same folks in Shreveport, La.

The 455 is a 7Xcc saw. The 505 is 83 or something like that. I would just get a 655 and be done with it. Go big or go home.

There is no connection of that 1957 Beaird compressor to Poulan chainsaws.

Charles T Beaird didn't buy into the Poulan company till 1959.

Up till that time, Charles Beaird was a executive with a Shreveport LA steel fabricating company and that is probably the connection to that tank.

I think the PP445, 475 were the last in the 70cc range. The 505 is 83cc, the 475 is 77cc and the 445 is about 70-72cc if I remember right.
