Nik's Poulan Thread

[knockbill]

No Scott, it is too small to use on the 306.

Poulan still shows part # 530031004 as still available and $7.20.

I dont have one myself, I just made one from a steel strap iron with two holes drilled and tapped for #10x24 screws to go into the 2 holes in the clutch and welded a 3/8's nut in the center of it.

But that trouble isnt really worth $7 I just needed it right away.

mark,
thats a good idea
for clutches, i've used a steering wheel puller with bolts and nuts at the right spacing, and sometimes, the bar that holds copper tubing to flare can be used with nuts, bolts and washers............

I got this 3400 from a guy who was gonna sell it for scrap. I swear its the truth. I didnt even bother going thru it I just got it and ran! The guy said it was just a "junk poulan" and he cut trees with a new rancher 455 and ms290, which he called real saws. Well this is no junk. Blue spark and 145psi. Carb kit and lines and this will be ready to go. My buddy Mike sent me a clutch cover for it so it will look good too. The cover is red so heres my plan for this one, I really like the black hood on my 4000 so I think im gonna spray the hood and cover black. What you guys think? The saw is a low hours. I still cant believe he was gonna sell it for scrap!
P.S.
I think my 346xp was getting nervous when i had the 3400 on the bench, there was a puddle of bar oil under it that wasnt there before...

Super 380 20" Bar

Anyone know if this Poulan Pro bar is the correct bar for a Super 380?
I have not been able to find any of this style Poulan Pro bar part numbers that match whats listed in any IPL or manual for this saw.

I have one on it now, that will work fine. But, its the green & black Poulan bar in 3/8" .50 70dl. Just thought it would look a little better with an original type bar.

The specs in the listing seem right! It doesn't say if its a A041 mount or not, but looks right, near as I can tell. The part #'s just never seem to jive.

Gregg,

I'm guessing that the original bars on these saws, might have been the Poulan Pro branded Oregon Power Match, or Windsor Speed Tip style bars, that were solid bars with the replacable tips.
All the bars I have been able to find for these seem to be the laminated style bars, and they just aren't made any longer.
Just a guess

Gregg,

Greg, those #'s drive me nuts also. That said those bars you listed almost half to be original to the 380 or another in that series like my 365.

There the only 2 Poulan Pro's to my knowledge that would have been 20" 3/8's pitch with a K041 bar mount!

I would be interested in a couple of them except I just talked to Bushwacker yesterday and told him to save a couple of the Z095 mount Power Match bars that he has for me. The Z means there a differnt DL count the normal which in this case means 70DL instead of 72DL. He said he has quite a few of them if anyone else wants any let me know soon before I go over there.

Two minutes with round file and I'll have them fitting the 330 and 365 just fine.

So yes I do believe that Poulan Pro bar would be right for your 380.

Just seeing if my new signature works.

Any 71-A's down there?

I think that it looks good. Maybe you shouldn't have made it that small.

That new sig thing looks great Mark!

Thanks for the opinion on the bars also, think I'll get one and see what happens. Not a too bad of a price for a 20" bar I guess.

Well how about this one?

Looks like its got 3/4 pitch chain on it! LOL

It makes enough noise to sound like it could pull 3/4 anyway !

That looks better Mark. I think that chain looks mean.

Gregg,

That bar is the old poulan number. It has been superceded by 952044561 -which is no longer available. Looking at the Poulan Pro ipl's - that bar is used on a PP330, PP365, and a PP380. It may be used on other saws as I didn't go through every PP saw ipl.

Good job on those numbers Ray. I know those bar numbers got changed often but like you said I was sure if was for those saws.

 

[sefh3]

Mark,
I like the new signature... Looks good. You posted somewhere you wanted a 20" Homelite bar... did you get one yet???

 

[lawnmowertech37]

How you do that anyhow the rotation on the chain

 

[Modifiedmark]

Scott, I probably posted wanting a 24" or 28" Homelite bar. The Homelite mount bars will go right on the Poulans with a spacer on the bar studs and they use the same drivelink counts.

Calvin, I don't know, I had someone do it for me.
