Sold Poulan 3400 - Parts/Project saw

[OhioRich]

I bought this saw and the previous owner said it would only run on 1/2 choke. I cleaned the carb, put in a new carb kit, and new fuel filter and it now runs fine. Except that I found it has bad crank bearings.

Any body interested in this for parts or rebuild?

Asking $60 plus shipping or pickup in Columbus, Ohio

McJunky, did you end up with the 3400?

So...I don't claim to be an expert, but I this looks more like a 3800 to me than a 3400. I thought all the 3400 had green tops.

I have a 3400. That looks like a later model than mine. Color looks really green compared to mine. Top (air filter cover) on mine is same color as housings(green). Mine is all original (cosmetically not very nice). It was my main firewood saw that was given to me by my father-in-law. Thinking about restoring it an putting it on a shelf. Wouldn't mind having this one 3400 or 3800!

They made 3400s like that too, just later versions of the all green ones.

is this saw still available?

I still have it. After posting this, I found that the crank was walking side to side. Saw has been taken completely apart. Appears to be a brass bushing as the crank bearings are good. I haven't looked for the parts so it is still torn apart.

Oil seal? How much now?

Believe you are looking at the thrust washers. They would not cause a side to side crank movement but a in to out movement.

You wasted a lot of time tearing that saw down, those cranks always have some side to side play in them, even when new. Measure your thrust bushings against new ones and you will find very little if any at all on them.
