Here are a few of mine in that series which is my all time favorite of any saws and the most firewood supplying saws I have ever owned. I've had more new NOS ones than I will ever remember before I owned them lol. Some were of the shelf from Farm and Fleet, some were of the shelf from TSC and some were off the shelf from a very kind elderly dealer of pioneer and poulan out of North Webster Indiana that is gone now. I remember seeing a wrapped pallet of 505's sitting there in boxes as tall as me but I already had 2 NOS 505's I just purchased. My NOS countervibes that are long gone before I found this site were from the local Coast to Coast. One of my dads life long friends worked in their repair shop and when they sold out he went to farm and fleet so we had a inside guy for a good amount of time right through the beginning of TSC after Farm and Fleet sold out. He is gone now also.

Right now I only have 2-365's, 3-330's, 1-336, 1-335, 1-3500, 3-3450's and 1-3000 and a 3100 in this series. I have a few good 60cc top ends also. I prefer the larger carbed versions for sure although one of my 365's runs very strong even with the factory carb which is to small in my opinion.
I also have a couple countervibes...a few are not in the picture.

I had the Poulan 475 out today.
I bought this saw which was suppose to be a runner on ebay back in 2012. The saw stopped running about 2 weeks after I got it and had only been run a couple of times. So I tore it down and found bad crank seals the crank bearing were rusted and had some small flat spots on them. The out side of the saw did not look to bad though. So I rebuilt it. Kevin supplied me with a new piston and rings and Tim found the very rare PTO side crank seal.

The tear down which I did in Jan 2013.

I finished up that saw I think in Feb 2013. I got it out today and ran it. Thing still has really good compression and I did not modify this saw except for the muff mod. I was cutting up some elm and what a strong running saw it is.

Heck I don't know what I'm doing wrong here when posting photos...the complete picture doesn't show up until ya click on it.
 
I get the feeling those saws like the 335, 330, 3450, 365, 3500, 3750, are pretty popular. I know I have a bunch myself also.
I have done a lot of firewood with them. I know there is at least one or two I am forgetting. Is it the super 380?

Yep. Super pro 380. Yellow/black version on a 3750, maybe a chainbrake difference?
 
Interesting. My super pro 380 did not have the 3 shoe or my 3450 type 3. All 60 cc saws. You get down to the details in these saws and find some differences. Fun to learn
People change things on saws for whatever reasons. All 3 if my 380's had a 3 shoe clutch like they should. None of my 3450 type III ever did. Pretty sure my 380's also had the factory dual port muffler covers also.
