For years I read how good these saws are from the guys who have them. I finally got ahold of one and plan on getting it running just to see for myself how good these old Poulans are to cut with. After waiting and hunting for years one showed up finally in my own backyard. Someone 's relative died that owned a small engine shop . One of the heirs brought back a pick-up load of saws of mostly older Husky's, J -Reds and some 925 Homelites along with this Poulan 3700. It didn't take long for the word to spread among the chainsaw guys in the area to come and get these saws before they went on line to be sold .
I haven't dove it my new to me Poulan all the way but so far so good . Piston and cylinder is in much better shape than I thought it would be which is the main thing to me. The saw doesn't have spark but the plug looked good and normal for a saw in good running condition. The anti- vibe rubber is good shape and so far it has been easy to start tearing it down . I think I'll have a winner with a little TLC.
I don't know how much cutting duty this saw is going to get but I am definitely on the look out for a bow bar now for this saw just to add to my little collection of bow bar saws which will make it a little more valuable. At least to me it will anyway.
