I didn't know you liked the non motor saws but they are very cool, have a few myself

Just certain ones. Been wanting a painted one for house.
2 others hanging in barn/shop. One of them over bench #2.

I once had a Henry Disston Model 43 combination saw, 1856 but passed it on to a collector that had been looking for one for years

When you see new stuff it makes me remember what a new saw looked like, they are a good looking saw, poulan green

Dad has the ones my grandpa used and he used growing up. He showed me where they are in the barn. He wants to sharpen and set one to put the grandson's behind it.

He must really want to punish them for something. [emoji23]

Hate to gut those pretty covers for parts, nice to know there are parts out there tho. Took Todd’s advise and painted the handle last night on the 42. Time to make chips

So that's 3 on here ive noticed with an orange 4000. how rare are they? I google image search them and Tim's one pops up and thats about it. Did all the orange 4000s have chain brakes? And what about orange 3400s and 3700s? I haven't seen any.

There are orange 3400's and 3700's. The 4000's are rare around me but the Poulan distributor said many were sold.
There was an orange 3400 for sale recently around here.

All I have seen have chain brakes.

There was an orange and black 8500 as well. I've only seen a pic of it. A member from western Canada's FIL owned it.

Ok so not extremely rare. How big was this company? Why are parts so scarce? were they produced in big numbers (poulan's in general) I thought they were the same as mac but mac parts are far easyer to find. Hell I can get lombard parts easyer.

My two cents, millions of the 1978- 1990 saws were built, most of the parts have been thrown away by the dealers, I could only imagine how many 3400 variants were made. I own a bit of the NOS parts . We live in a disposable society, most got junked
