Green bow ones, straight bar ones, little ones and big ones.

Wished I could have ran a saw some Saturday, sat on a tractor after work scraping our farm roads down getting them smoothed up, then put out 2 1/2 tons of gravel to start covering the roads with. 2 1/2 tons don't go far. I'm figuring 20 or more loads to cover three roads that we use a lot. Rain had messed them up over the years so I decided it was time to fix them.

Quick question guys, would you replace a needle bearing on the piston on a saw that the piston seized on? I haven't taken it apart yet and am ordering parts for what already needs to be repaired as well as planing ahead.

 

[s sidewall]

I'd get a piston kit, with piston, rings, wrist pin, keepers and bearing.

Steve

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Ok, I'll probably get a new bearing. I already have a new p/c with ring and circlips, but debating the piston bearing. Cylinder is seized but I don't know if i can get away with it.

heading to garage now.. Let me look

S. O. L. On the cover, BUT. I think I have a nice wraparound.. Will most starter covers on the 10 series fit? I can look, but maybe you know off the top of your head

 

[Beetlejuice]

Can not do, but I have a ton of poulan sh,sh,sh,stuff I could pass along.. Don't cost much to send plastic

Watch it now!!! POULANS RULE in some parts around here--we got green ones--sandcast ones--bowsaw ones--Yeah David

I don't mean it, but anytime somebody says, what ya running? It's embarrassing to reply, a WILD THING, or WOOD SHARK. Kinda like riding with Hells Angels , and holding a Moped between your legs.. Just tain't right.

No worries, it was just a quick thought at the moment. It is a goal to get the full wrap installed at some point on the pm 10-10, but that won't be until this summer when I can get some time to go through the saw first. Lots of projects, not nearly enough time at home to accomplish them.

Doesn't bother me to saw a Poulan Bow saw, or a 3700. [emoji6]

If I'm not mistaken which I am a lot lol, all the covers are interchangeable except for the Pro Mac 800 and 805 because of their muffler setup

 

[Boomer 87]

Let me check on a kit for the flatback.. Heard they're a tough item to come by..thanks, k

Kensie, I apologize.. Had a response ready to go and must have fallen asleep.. I'll look for a flatback kit. Maybe there's one out there. ANYBODY??. I'll check on shipping also.. I'll be in touch.. Thanks, K

If you get nowhere with this deal my brother has successfully modified these saws to accept the walbro or tillotson whatever came on like a 10-10. He didn't even have to grind the intake hole. He did this on a 1-10. I can ask him to chime in.

 

[Boomer 87]

Our Pandora at work has everything from the righteous brothers to five finger death punch it's hilarious lol.

For me it depends on the day I like 80s country like George strait, Allan Jackson, Travis tritt style..

But i love oldies too like the righteous brothers, everly brothers, del Shannon. type

If I'm in a rock mood its breaking Benjamin, Staind, Metallica type

If it's been a really piss poor day nothing quite makes me want to punch stuff like "WALK" from Pantera lol. I have that one on repeat when working on STIHLS

Some craftsman were made by poulan, depends on the year. Some roper, homelite, don't know who else. I've got a red 2.3av craftsman I got new in the early 80's that was made by poulan and a gray 2.8 Craftsman made by poulan also I got new in the mid to late 80's.

I bring this up cuz I picked up a crafty 3.7, but haven't done research yet. Been busy typing on some "chainsaw" web site. Hint hint. Maybe today. It's a metal saw, not like the other ones. I'll keep you updated.. It's all there I think.. Still scraping barn guano..K
