Nik's Poulan Thread

[PogoInTheWoods]

If ya thought yer old one was in good enuff shape to seal with some goop, it oughta be in good enuff shape to make a template for a new one. Or use Tim's approach and just locate the butt joint at the least vulnerable spot in the assembly, then seal.

Check out the Fel-Pro stuff. Various thicknesses available. A roll is around 13 bux, but will last ya a lifetime....even if ya end up getting into the Macs and hafta start sealin' all those 10 series tanks!

Got any pics of it?

You already saw it a couple pages back. Not a Poulan.

Oh that's right, I thought you meant you got a 245.

You may be right that they aren't available. Been awhile since I bought one. Like 5 years ago apparently.

They are just cork material, so should be able to make one. If you are artistic and handy, unlike me.

Gregg,

Could have sworn I just bought some. Maybe a month ago.

Could be I haven't looked actually. I just thought someone said before that they weren't available anymore.

They are available, ereplacementpatts.com has them

 

[Acornhill]

They are reproducing parts now

 

[Acornhill]

I scored on a good parts lot and have some NLA parts

Thanks for the tip!

 

[Acornhill]

Yup, there are a lot of parts still out there, you just need to do your research for them

Todays fun. #2 3.0 49cc running, #3 3450 down for rebuild, leaf blower new fuel lines and one ceiling fan removed and needing to reinstall another.
Guess which one I dont like doing.

I cut a bunch of wood today with the S25DA. Wishing I had the AV version. This saw really cuts despite the fact that it wears one of those shark fin Oregon chains.

I can feel the one I have in my hands too.

I do not do enouph cutting with that saw to be concerned about.

I did wear padded gloves and have some good anti vibration gloves from Galeton which they don't make anymore.

I have to be careful because I have white finger and don't want it to get any worse. I generally means that my blood vessels in my hands are damaged and my hands get cold very easily. If they do, they look exactly like the hands of a dead person.
I don't find any of my other rigid mount saws bother if I wear padded gloves.

Fantastic little saw though. I can't believe how much I cut on less than a tank of fuel.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Well, Tim...,

If we ever have to pry a Poulan from your cold, dead hands, could you please make it a bigger one?

 

[fossil]

How about a nice 5200? How will I contact you from the other side? Anyhow, I'll likely be scouting for saws there anyway.
