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.

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

General consensus is the 3400/3700/3800 countervibe series are very capable firewood saws. I just finished cutting up 3 pickup loads of black locust with mine this week.
Thats not even the chain for those powersharp on side. Thats that oregon vanguard chain with bent safety raker. Hate that stuff.
Think the chain was called barracuda chain for the old stuff.
Had saws with the attachment and never ever will use that thing. Just do like others side run regular chains.

Being I got 2 of these pricey stihl carbide chains now. 1 on 4000 in 050 and 1 on a G466 in 063.
We had a good thread on sharpening them. The files were a no go for time spent. The dremel ones worked for some folks I trust for info.
But best feedback come from a good friend with one of these on his grinder too.
Guy in my chainsaw repair group FB. Great thread on carbide chains and sharpening last month.
Thanks Chad for your feedback in that carbide thread. Black Friday sell going on with 10% off and Free shipping.
Merry Christmas to me. I'll tell wife she bought it for me.

Hey guys I need some help!! I'm looking for a 36"bar and a skip tooth full chisel chain to fit the Poulan 3400 to 4000 serese saws. .050 3/8 and dont know number of drive links. My guess is 112DL. I have found 28" 30" and a 32" with very limited info and most NFS. I know there out there as have pictures and videos of them on these saws. Please dont scold me for wanting to do this. I know these saws arent high hp or rpm. I have a couple I have been playing with that really run good so far. Ported Base delete MM Timing advance Increased air flow. I want a long bar for cutting ice. Chunking firewood without bending over. I have a redoak blown down thats 4 1/2 ft around the trunk that i would like to slab off and see what it looks like in the center. The cross referance I have found is really poor too. I know there is other saws with the same mount.
Thanks for any help!!
Thanks for any help!!
If you can get one, buy one. Those reed saws are awesome to run.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
