There are very few Poulans he doesn't have. Maybe he will chime in with a few pics. Anyone here ever see a model 744 geardrive?

    No, just the picture that he posted at my request. As you know I'm not really into the old manual oiler saws and especially not gear drives, but that 744 is on my want list.

    I'm not sure why either, except that it is closely related to the 306-245 series saws.

I'd probably put that one right at the top of my "Poulan Wanted" list. Of course a 655 and S6000 would be nice, but we all know that they're not really Poulans.

    So far 30 posts, and I'm the only one with any pics here.....

Two are 245's in Dayton clothes and the other is a 5200 dressed as a Craftsman that I got from Hoss. It seems that if these are any example that the Poulans have a great CC/Power/Weight ratio. I like the ones I have, they are all great running saws. I also have a 455 and a 655. While they are labeled as Poulans we all know they are mostly Pioneers, sort of the opposite of those mentioned above. Those too are really strong saws, especially the 655 which is serious bad boy, light and nimble for a 100CC class saw. There are a few others they made, re-badged or not, that I would like to acquire some day.

    I think your first couple lines hit the nail on the head.

    Tim, I think the 744 is 74cc like the 245.

    I think I have posted most of my pictures here before, what do you want to see?

    I love the old poulans and have owned tons of them. I have had 2 8500's , 3 5200,1 5400 , 1 s6000,1 PP655 just to list a few. Not to mention 13 306's at the same time and 7 different 245's. The s6000 is a snail compared to the pp655 high performance. The 8500,5400 and the 5200 are all the same saw just different years. My 5400 was awesome and would outrun all of it's brothers that I have owned and 1 of the 8500's was completely rebuilt. I have also owned 2 new pp505's. Sold 1 on ebay and gave the other to my dad for x-mas, it is his favorite saw to use. Unless he wants to make some noise then he picks up 1 of his 2 306's. The 505's are no slouch at 82.5cc and 13,500 rpm's dad runs 28'' bar on his and I ran mine with 36'' bar that it pulled really well. I this thread but now I am really missing some of the poulans that I sold!!!!!!! I got my 5400 back and nead to change the top end but have not had the time. This thread is awesome!!!!

    pro655

    Thought some of you Pioneer/Poulan experts might help me out. Have an old Pro655 with a dead ignition module and can not locate a replacement.
    Do any of you know a convenient work-around, possibly using a simple coil in combination with a firing chip??

    Thanks

    I am a fan of poulans in all their forms, craftsman, dayton, partner, ect. I think Ive always liked poulans because my dads first new saw was an S25DA. Funny story about that saw. My dad was using it one day 5 years ago cutting up a cherry tree. The saw just died on him. At the time, I knew very little about saws, so I brought it to my repair guy. He said it was junk, couldnt get parts. So I left it there. To be honest, I felt bad about just leaving it there! I bought a new Dolmar 540, and forgot about the '79 poulan. fast forward two months ago. Thanks to this site giving me a stron case of CAD, Iask my repair guy if he has any old saws I could buy/have. He says yeah I might. I wind up getting a Poulan S25DA in pieces (runs mint! sold it to my best friend he loves it), homelite 330, craftsman 2.3, 2005 husky 365 (yeah free!) and my dads old Poulan! So I got the saw back, I put new fuel lines< rebuilt carb, new filters and plug, runs like new. Really happy we got it back to its home! So for poulans I have
    S25DA (never getting rid of it again)
    Dayton anti-vibe s25da (rare saw?)
    craftsman 3.7 (like new)
    3700 (on its way EBAY $40.00)
    heres all of them the 3 poulans are on the right

    heres the 3.7
