I also installed a set of crank seals in my poulan 3700, thats one more reason i love them saws, that job was un- obtrusive to anything else. Took about an hour start to finish

 

[Boomer 87]

Thats only the 2nd set of crank seals ive ever done, there really not too bad of a job, both times the pto side seal was rock hard, i think crank seals are gonna start being part of my goin through on old saws

It's crazy, I never expected my first thread on this site to blow up like it did lol

P.S. - I got my Dayton put back together and she runs!

How does she run? like a scalded dog? Those are a mini monsters 74ccs in a pretty small package. Love em

Buttttttt....... but...... not nearly as cool as 7-10a

 

[Boomer 87]

Whatevs.......well see about that sometime

It's crazy that thing is 74cc's and I can hold it strait out with one hand (without the bar and chain of course)

They are pretty light I must say

 

[Kensie1988]

But then again I can do the same thing with my jonsereds 70E, but there is a noticeable difference lol

 

[Boomer 87]

IMO the 245a or its other brands was one of the best power to wieght ratio saws made.

My dad's 245a pulls a 32" bar, full comp. You'd be surprised weve had it burried before, it dont want anymore but itll do it.

Pics or it didn't happen, oh wait I was there..... yeah it ain't a speed demon but it kept chewing

I'm excited to test it out, I have the old original 21" roller nose that's going back on it.

When are we going to see some pictures? I'm afraid I cannot believe that it is back together until I see some evidence lol.

What do y'all think is a good price for a Pioneer Farmsaw (P40) in good looking shape running? About $160?

Idk for sure but i gave 75$ for my p41 just a couple weeks ago, and its very nice. But i could of gotten a mega deal too idk.

 

[Kensie1988]

Yea, there is a real disconnect between eBay price and fair price, I saw a good looking farm saw powerhead not running with a few cosmetic deficiencies go for about $75. This one is running, looks low hours because it has hardly any wear, and has the bar and chain, so I figured 160 wasn't totally out of the ball park. It's at a pawn shop for $225, so I was trying to think of how much they would come off

I'm sure you can work them down on the price. Even though it's running I think they will have a hard time getting rid of it as most people wanting to buy a saw are going to look at something newer first. I think 160 is a fair price.

Yea that's kinda what I was thinking, ole @Boomer 87 got a really good deal on his P41. But then again they are in really good spots to pick up old saws, there's a lot of firewood cutting up there.
