I think I found something. Hopefully one of you Poulan gurus can authenticate.

Never mind, just read through several AS threads about this saw model. Built by Roper, not Poulan.
I can't catch a break.

I will look later this morning, I will have to move a bunch of stuff in the garage to get to it and don't want to wake everyone up doing it.
A bunch came with bows, I have taken them off for storage.

Roper it is, they also came in blue with white trim and red with black trim.

Pulled the Craftsman 3.7 out of the pile and gave it a quick once over and a hasty clean up. This looks to be a good saw, discovered the bar plates were reversed (inner was outer). Here is how it looks.
It has a brand new air filter and the chain may not have been sharpened. A little gas in the carb and it ran. Flushed the tank and gave it some fuel and it fired up and settled down to a nice idle. Compression is 140 on the saw.

Sounds and looks good Gary. Kinda makes me want to use mine again. I havn't cut with it for a couple years I think. Used to use mine quite a bit. I would take that and a 4000 out as saws of choice, for general firewood cutting.
Gregg,
I'm sure most of you have seen this before. The Craftsman 3.7 wasn't a cheap saw, back in the day. About $300 and the Power Sharp version a little more.

Gregg,
Good to see you posting, I was surprised how well it cleaned up and how well it ran. I think I have 3 other red ones and 2 grey ones, so I will probably send it down the road to help recoup what I had to spend on the load. It has an almost new Stihl chain on it as well.

Gary, can you confirm that the red 3.7 is thin ringed. Reason I ask is I had a red one that actually was a 3800. Have been confused ever since.

FYI Red White Blue 1976er on ebay with no bids! Not new condition. Cleaned up it would still make a nice display saw!
