Mark, I will second the PP415 being a surprising runner. Very strong 65cc and I have ran a couple.
i feel my best sleeper saw is my poulan pro 415, very big saw for only 65cc, but runs very very well

Good to hear that. I got one from a member here. Haven't cut any wood with it yet, but am looking forward to it. Almost too pretty to run, but I'm going to. Lol.

Yeah, thats right!
You should have seen the day a friend was bragging on his MS460 and I told him I had a old Craftsman that would whip it. He laughed.
I then had to pull out the Craftsman 5.2 and humble him. He wasnt laughing anymore.
I would have to add another vote for the 5200 Poulan. The 4200 isn't to shabby either.
Gregg,
My first Mac 250. I paid $25 for it at a car show swap meet. It has great original paint, so I don't think it has many hours on it. The first couple years I owned it I had a 24" Mac bar and old style semi chisel chain on it, not very impressive. Then I thought I'd try it at a local saw contest at a county fair. Put on a roller bar and 3/8 chisel with a 9 tooth, electronic ignition module, and it beats many stock 372's, and 440's, in a 10" cant. It won't do it with an 8 tooth, it needs to be lugged down in a 10X10, and the 9 tooth does it. Other than that, it's heavy, and numbs your hands in minutes, which doesn't surprise me.

Aaron, I posted that add and while its not a good scan and hard to read I do know they were sold power head only with the 5.2 being $499.99 and the 4.2 at $459.99.
24" bars with chain were $79.99 and 30" were $99.99.
Sounds like alot back then dont it?
Mark it was a different ad, posted by somebody else. Might have been Chris J, Mitch W, or Gregg. He said he'd "finally" gotten it from a guy that had traded him two 5.2's at a GTG. I'll repost it tonight whe I have time.
I sold one this past spring that was pretty new, only had a few tanks through it. I regret selling it because so far it has been my favorite saw that I have owned, even over the 9010 that replaced it and the 044 I sold. You will love that saw, it will out cut a bigger saw a lot of the time.
It is the saw you sold.. I made some dawgs for it to replace the ground down ones, but not knowing what they should look like, I fear I went to far. Looks mean though. I have dial-up so picture posting is beyond my patience at the moment.,
You got to love it when Chainsaws go on sale. :hmm3grin2orange:
Here she is now, if I did this right. 28 mins. from start of upload. Man, I hate this dial-up. Like I said, I may have went overboard, but I can always take the grinder to them and tone them down a bit. View attachment 218895That is great. I was wondering if it was a member here who got it. I am glad that a member got it, be nice to know that it will be taken care of. That thing is awesome. You will like it a lot. Hope you like it a lot.
