@Boomer 87 what do you think a decent price on a Dayton 2Z463 is?

 

[Boomer 87]

Its the same as a poulan 245a

 

[Boomer 87]

Running?

 

[Kensie1988]

Running?

Said it run when he put it up last but won't start now.

 

[Boomer 87]

Well i know i paid 40 for my 245a, ive seen one go for 100, i would consider the dayton to more rare.

 

[Boomer 87]

Whats the asking price?

 

[Kensie1988]

$50, but shipping would be $58 lol and it comes with a 21" roller nosed bar.

 

[Boomer 87]

50 is a good price shipping is a killer though

I've seen a good rollernose go for about $20-30+ so that would make me feel better.

You need that, decent looking saw. Beast of a saw, 74ccs and only weighs 13lbs. Id be interested.

You just made up my mind then lol

 

[Kensie1988]

Just bought it lol

Gotta love the exposed rollernose bar too!

I see it has the original pull rope handle. If you look close you can see the old poulan logo molded on the sides. Daytons were part of the dayton electric company, i believe sold through grainger. You can tell a 245a from a 306a by the fuel tanks. 245's have tall tank tops 306's have real shallow tank tops. I have a 306a in dayton clothes.

Im sure some of the newer plastic saws have eclipsed the 245a, but back when that saw came out and for years after the poulan 245a has the best power to weight ratio of any any saw. Compare it to your c5 77ccs but weighs probly 20 lbs. And on a side note the 245a has some notoriety for being the saw of choice by leatherface in the original texas chainsaw massacre movie.

Now if you can track down a 4200 and a 5200 poulan countervibe, those saws are powerhouses in there size range 4200=69cc 5200=85cc. I havent ran my 5200 in wood yet, but I would put my 4200 up against any other 69cc saw by any brand.
