This is showing they have the 6900's. Not sure how valid the listing is though.

Was just goofing around and relabeled a pic off a web search - 10000p. Should have realized that it was from one of the guys here. I would have been cool if Poulan would have kept going and manufactured their own 100cc saw in countervibe in their style. Before anybody says something, I'm definitely not saying anything bad about the Dolmar version.

Just sold an 08S for $300 last night. That helps fund the projects and keeps the wife happy.
Changed fuel filter and replaced vent line (duckbill and fitting intact) on my mastercraft 3400 yesterday, and equipped it with a chain. Fired up second pull. It's ready to cut.

Ideally I'll get a new sprocket for it though. What's this two piece design you guys were talking about ?
I'll check with the fellow and see if he still has it.

Heck, I'd love to have it but Blondie would have my head on a plate......................................................

Very good sir.. bantasaw.com lists one for the 3400, so I'll order one. Thanks for the education..

I like 'em green
What are the main differences between the all green 3400's, 3700's etc. versus the black and green 3400's and 3800 Timbermaster and such saws? Just the time they were produced or was that when Poulan wasn't the same company? Just curious since they look the same and seem to be the same.
Color, some different caps and knobs. The 3400s were all green from '79 to mid. '80s then green black, 3700s had short run and were green with black louvered a/f cover. 4000s were two types of green and black

Thanks Joe, I figured it must be just a time thing, they look the same for the most part.
Yep, I agree with Joe. There wasn't a lot of changes in some saws they made for a while. I think the marketing dept. just changed the color schemes or decal design in some cases, just to make them "FRESH", so to speak. 
Take for example these two 4000's. Both are exactly the same, no difference except color scheme & decals.
Why they went from just calling it a Counter Vibe to a Professional was probably the marketing dept.

Interesting Gregg, and super nice saws!
anyone know if the Dayton 2Z463 (poulan 245SA) is point type ignition or no?
4000s are great looking saws. I do like the later black handle saws though. I also think those are harder to find. I always like the warning labels on the 3700s and 4000s too.Yep, I agree with Joe.

Gregg,
The 245 I had was an '80 and had the solid state ign sticker on it.
Can't help ya with that specific Dayton saw, but my 245A has electronic ign. Poulan saws from that era, at least the green ones, if they had "Solid State Ignition System" the decal was usually displayed. I assume it would have been on others also. I know Sears Craftsman saws did also.
Gregg,
