Curb Alert found on the side of the road

[J.Walker]

Driving back from the tractor dealer today and saw this on the side of the road with some other junk. I stopped picked it up, gave it a pull and it pops first pull! Put it in the back of the truck. Has a full tank of gas and oil runs ok too! I'll clean it up in the morning and sharpen the chain. Price was right, Free with gas and oil too!

Nice find! It appears that even the recoil start shroud is metal.

Paint it orange and you got another Husky! Nice find you can't beat free.

Was thinking of cutting some firewood with it till it runs out of gas and then take it back to where I found it and leaving it with a thank you note for the free fuel.

If you want to get it back to it's owner put a sign where you found it with your email address or phone number. Make sure to mention that if they can't ID the saw then it's a no go to keep down opportunists.

I had the same thought.

TreeCo The saw was with junk being thrown out on the side of the road. They had no use for it. Beats scrogging for firewood.

I would keep it for a loaner saw, that way when your BIL messes it up no loss.

Hope it has mixed gas in it. They are stupid enough to throw out a running saw.

You said it was full of gas. I think it was thrown out by mistake.

Those were good old saws. some one lost that one by mistake or don't need or want a saw. It don't look as if it's been used a whole lot.

That's just wrong.

Nice score! I'd check he gas though. Free is always best!

Those 3400s bring real good money parted out on eBay too, I wish I had a truckload of them!

The one I found was all ready orange and had a 266XP decal on the top cover and recoil side cover. Also found with a pile of stuff set out for the trash.It was accompanied by a washer, dryer and several bags of clothing and other household goods,someone moved out overnight and the truck must have been too full to take the leftovers.

Good score! I'd love to find one of those in the trash, I could use a good loaner saw.

 

[bigbadbob]

Great score!!! Bad color poor flavor but free is free!!!opcorn:

Hey, I know what that is!

These make good runners. I really like mine. Do a search on Poulan 3400 and you can find the thread where I rebuilt one recently and it has a bunch of pics of the guts of one.

Pretty good quality but some sketchy design work.

Sears version

I have the craftsman version of that saw I picked up at auction for $35. It has been a good runner. If you ever need parts for it, you might find them at Sears parts.
