Anything becomes a work bench if it sits in one place long enough lol. Ive used the top of my wood stove to work on saws in the winter time

Got the first seal in! What a difference the SKF makes. It slid in with almost no effort compared to the stupid National/Timken. I didn't get it perfectly level. I can see a slight height difference between the two side. Maybe a mm or less. As long as I didn't turn the lip I don't see why it won't work. I drove it deeper than the factory seal to get it past where I scratched the crank, oops. I do need to come up with a sleeve for the pto side. A piece of tin can taped together isn't holding, the tape keeps coming loose. Someone needs to make a plastice one that is varible size to work on many different shaft sizes.

Does anyone know what carb kit it takes for a poulan 3500? I have two that I am going to go through this winter. I was on parts tree and they want $17 each for carb kits.

 

[beavis331]

I'm running out of surfaces to store stuff let alone work on stuff. Lol!

 

[s sidewall]

Well y'all have a shop to work on saws, before I started working on them in the barn at the farm, many saws and weedeaters were worked on on my truck's trusty tailgate work bench.

When there is a step in the crank I try a couple of approaches. You can directly wrap a couple of turns of electrical tape so they just cover the step. Grease up the seal/tape and carefully work the seal over the step. It should slide over without hanging up or potentially scraping the lip. Another method that seems to work is using a 1/2" sleeve of copper water pipe. Chamfer the ends of the pipe, work the greased seal onto one end, slide the pipe over the crank and up flush to the step. It should transition nicely and slide right over without rolling the lip. A large fender washer over the seal can help keep them flush when tapping them into place with a socket or such.

Like the idea of the fender washer. I bored out a half inch socket so the drive end fit over the crank. Provides a nice flat surface.

@Boomer 87 I just priced my 475 you seen in pic for $300 too. Looks like I will be minus another one when the shows.

So the like new 3450 and one of the 3500 isnt sold now.
