Thought it was good for a laugh. Kinda like the HVBW we always hear about!

I thought of you when I found this one. Check PM if interested.

hello. was this Sears made by Poulan? looks like one with the old style anti vibe. has some chain sharpening gizmo on it though.

one more. this is for sale near me. what would be a fair price as a buyer? I know, whatever someone pays for it.

That one will be either the thick ring poulan 3800 or the thin ring poulan 3700. Red came in both.

I sold this runner for 150 local with b+c.

I would think 150-250 for runner needing nothing would be fair.

pic of chain?
the "gizmo" aka power sharp, needs its own type of chain to work

My 2 cents. I would not attempt to use the sharpener. Need for nostalgia purposes, but not practical in the real world. I don't think they ever cut anything like standard chains .

don't think I'm going to buy it anyway. want to get an old Poulan but will probably wait for the right one. like a Pro 655 or something

Those 245s are pretty awesome by most accounts. That craftsman be handy as heck for parts if ya get a 4000 or any of that family.

I do quite enjoy the 4000s. A heavy little grunt box. Not real fast but don't feel "gutless" either
