If you look at the 5200 IPL'S. The chain brake was sold as a kit. I'm thinking most people never bought them.

As far as I understand any saw built for export had to have a chain brake

I think it depended on where they were going, canada i know they were required. If you ever see a orange poulan 4000 with a brake it was destined to go north o the border.

Yeah, countervibes are special to a lot of people, they are the only poulans that I would actively keep in my collection, I have a complete, good condition, 4200 that I didn't pay a dime for, and I don't even feel bad haha. And It's Not stolen LOL Just To Be Clear

You can kinda see it was an afterthought. But would be rarer no doubt.

My father is actually friends with a bunch of loggers, i havent had time to ask any if they have any old logging saws lying around, I know one of them has a Saw shop and there is a bunch of old saws in there displayed

 

[Boomer 87]

I lucked out as theres been a poulan dealer in my home town from about the 306a 245a era all the way up to the 475pro-505pro era. About 30 years worth of sales and there was a homelite dealer for years also.

I find that loggers destroy their saws and then rob parts off the junk ones, but the guy with the saw shop would be a good lead
