What would a decent condition running 3400 bowsaw be worth? I knew there's a good following of them here, but I know nothing about them.

Ebay usually gets between $100 and $150 average for good runners, but with a bow saw I ?????.
What Wiggs said. As far as the bow, I have seen the bow and chain bring that by itself, but I'm not sure that I have seen a 3400 bow saw bring over $300.
The bow part is not a special part on the 3400, but it does need cut to clear it. Now on the other hand a 306A/245A needs several unique parts to mount a bow, so to me, they would be more valuble as a bow saw.

I agree. It takes more parts for the 306/245 so it would probably make it worth more.
It's in a pawn shop for $165. I'm sure they'd take less.

If you get a poulan bow saw I would go for a 5200. The 3400 is okay but really underpowered for a bow in my opinion. I have seen 3400 bow saws around here go for $250.00 and the 5200 go for $300.00. I you have not ever used a bow before ask for pointers before use, and once you actually use a bow for small stuff you wont want to put it down.

I was looking for a carb for one. I have one coming. I will keep you in mind, and I appreciate your response!!
Not new or anything but complete and decent. Not trashed or anything.

I think you should buy it and pump it up. I have wanted to do it to one of mine, but cant bring myself to. Mine have a huge squish and I know they would wake up with dropping the cylinder and a little smoothing. They make awesome torque

Please find me a nice $300 5200 will you? There's none around here bow, or otherwise.
Did you get the chance yet to look up the 306/245 seal numbers yet?
Highjack over.
Brad, get the 3400 bow, if you don't like it, I'll take it.

I am glad you reminded me about the seals. My finals will be over tomorrow so I will have time to get the numbers. I was preparing for finals this morning around 8 and finished my second final around 5, and have a corporate finance final that will require about another 6 hours of studying for tomorrow. After that I get a month off from school and need it. How many seals do you need? I might have some new ones on hand I can give you along with part numbers.
I actually have a set or two here, but am always looking for alternitives to NOS parts gougers, since I couldnt come up with the one narrow seal
No hurry, good luck on the finals.
