    I'm totally new to the oldschool Poulan saws - and I just picked up that 3800 on Friday. Expect lot's of noob questions.
    Yes, there was a chain brake available for those older Poulans, as an option.
    But, they are very rarely seen. Seems they were more poular on the saws sold in Canada. Maybe it was a requirement for saws sold in Canada, I don't know.

    you and a lot of other guys including me Jason. Every now and then they pop up on the 'bay but they can go for more than you payed for your saw....

    Thats a beauty Nik

    I think there was a NOS chain brake setup that sold on ebay few months ago. From a dealer that went out of buissnes. Nik might have a better memory than me, but I think it went for $80.00, In any case, it was expensive!! to say the least.

    I just seen this, nice 3800!

    I don't understand the chain brake searching myself, but here is the chainbrake kit # in case you happen to run across one, and there has to be some on a shelf somewhere, in Canada if no place else.

    #952069261

    Good luck with your search.

    You might not be let down.

    i found this saw at the scrap metal yard and paid .40/lb for it. it's in really nice condition. Poulan Model 53, 82cc. it's got good spark and compression but haven't gotten it running yet. been working on a Mac 1-85... but this 53 is really clean and the bar looks barely used. i think it's a keeper!

    Try this one Woodchucker. I looked at Acres site and he doesn't have a picture of a 3800, if it looks like a 3300 or 3500, the brake on that orange one should work. I have a 3300, and the clutch is the same as my 2800. Maybe Mark or Calvin would know. If you do get these, I'll buy the topcover from the green one from you if you want to part with it.




    I didn't go back to your link and saw the picture. This one won't work, but I'll leave it up for anyone else interested. That 3800 is a nice looking saw.

    First thing I wood do is get rid of that clutch cover and tensioner (weak spot) and get a cover with the 2 bar nuts! P/N # 530058933 will get you a cover and tensioner for about $6 bux.Don't forget to get the 2 bar nuts, P/N # 530015917 (x2) about $0.50 ea. If your a bit more inclined, you can do a muffler mod (really wakes up this saw) and a carb mod (so you can tune with a regular screwdriver). I ran an 18" bar on it and it did ok, I switched to a 16" bar and that new Oregon 91vxl chain and ended up with a nice, cheap strato-screamer for about $120cdn!




    Congrats on your new saw!

    I picked one up at Home Depot this weekend for $99.99. Not sure why it was there but, it was new with the case, sitting on top of the box in a corner. All the HD's around here have gone to the red Homies. Funny thing, it had the traditional two nut bar mount & adjuster rather than the tool-less one that I see often. I didn't need another saw but, I bought it anyway.

    I have this same saw and for the money, it is a pretty dang good one. I just wish they would fix the fuel caps so they don't swell and stick. I have two to rotate them.

    Good idea on the bar and chain change. I will try that when my 18 chains are gone.
