Old Poulan Saws Who has one ?

[flashpuppy]

I have a 3800, but it needs a fuel tank before it will really do anything. Anyone have one?

Thanks but that's funny! No I'm no expert, just always liked some of them, and had some experiance with some mostly back in the day.

I have been more interested lately in some of the history and the series of the different models.

Oh and I have a few Poulans and am always on the lookout for more of them! (along with all the other brands too!)

Calvin, you need to make up a list of those Poulan parts you have and post em up, and if you have any that I can use, and priced right, I will try to help you make some vanish

believe me you wont have to worry on the prices they will be within boundary very very cheap most parts will be $ 0.50 - 1.25 in that range remind me to take a photo of that poulan i have out in the parts saw complete pile and take a picture of that poulan that is dressed up in a homelite type body

i think its cute cause it has a poulan name on it but the chasis is a homelite xl 12 chasis

I have a tank from a 3400 Countervibe PN# 530010286. The 3400 and 3800 IPLs show the same part number. PM me if interested. I'm clearing the old parts and saw collection a bit this year...

Good thought....

Say, have you seen my PM, Mr. CM? I sent it last week I think.

Actually yours looks quite different (not to mention in much better shape) than mine. I thought it was gear drive until I went to Acres and saw it is "roller chain reduction". Never heard of that. Anyone know how that works?

A small sprocket on the crank and a large sprocket driving the chain sprocket. Same setup as a Homelite belt drive. Tom

I have a pair of 306A`s from 1979 that we did a lot of cutting with and strangely have never taken picts of them, must do that sometime, but then I have dozens of saws that I have not taken picts of.

I am still looking for a P&C for a 4000 or 395. I've got a 245A to trade if anyone would be interested.

Thanks Tom...Would really like to see one of those apart and then cutting...Carl

The 45 I believe it is a direct drive saw and the 46 is chain reduction. The chain drive saw and was cheaper to produce and had a little more chain speed. The Poulan Super 72 is gear reduction and was fitted with a 8 tooth 1/2" sprocket so it had close to the same chain speed. I have some Poulans still. I have 5200,71A,s72,245,306,3400,3700,86,62,33,32.

I don't know.... I saw that clip and laughed for about an hour straight, I had to attach it.

Have you ever seen a 744? I got a IPL on one and thought it looked interesting.

 

[thomas72]

Yes, I do have a 744. I forgot to mention that.

 

[Modifiedmark]

Yes, I do have a 744. I forgot to mention that.

Cool, I can't find much info on them, are they based off the 3.6ci 306 or the 4.5ci 245?

 

[thomas72]

They were based off the 245. Decent saws will pull a three foot bar with .404 pitch chain.

Wouldn't it be easier to tell us which ones you don't have?
