Just one of my Work saws not a Shelf queen, open port ALL NEW insides, 65cc
Running a NOS green Husky 10,000 rpm limited coil too, I had it so put it on, cuts fine as the bow puts a load on it. running 81dr of semi chisel with bumper drive links.

Nice Poulan Bow saw.:msp_thumbsup:
Cliff, not sure if you seen my newest Poulan bow saw yet, I forgot to post it here and only showed it in the Poulan thread.
Its a almost never used original Poulan 5200 bow saw.

Wow. That sure is nice Mark.:msp_thumbsup:
Are you going to keep it that way or use it some?
I would like to get a few of the Poulans like that in
real nice shape.

It will get run sparingly. GTG's , demonstrations and such.
It still has It's original never sharpened Poulan branded chain so probably won't use that chain.

Very nice Stink! I want to set up one of my saws like that. I'm doing some cutting in a park that has lots of downed trees on/around trails and campsites. Lots of stooping and bucking. I'm thinking a bow bar setup like that on a 60-70cc class saw would be just the ticket to save my back. Have you ran it yet?

I have run it, and it runs really good. It's no 10-10 though.:msp_tongue:

I've found the 10-10's to rev up higher, with more useable power on top.............while the SXL's have more 'lugging power'. That's why I was thinking about using one of my SXL's (rather than a 10-10) as a bow saw......................since from what I understand bow bars require grunt. I also 'only' have one 10-10, while I have a few SXL's. My PM700 will continue to wear a 24" sprocket nose (and the CB clutch cover). I'd run a bow bar on my 7-10A if I found one for a 10-series Mac. Don't want to modify/butcher the nice short "brakeless" clutch cover that's on that saw however. Got no qualms about cutting an SXL clutch cover. I have a Poulan 306A and a Dayton branded Poulan 245SA that'd be good to run a bow bar too...........and I do have one extra clutch cover for those that I could cut (if I don't happen upon one of the bow saw specific CC's that Poulan made). Hmmmm..... It really depends on which bow bar I happen upon first (Homelite/Poulan/McCulloch). They're not common here, and they go for "runing saw" money on feebay...
