Want to Sell Poulan Pro 225 top handle

[Jeff Lary]

Bill G ,Thanks for the ray of hope.
Yea the seller was adamant that he printed his own label. I was thinking last night that maybe 7# would be a dry weight saw and 9# would reflect a gassed and oiled saw?
I got the impression that the gentleman had been in some legal issues before this episode. The feeling I got was ," Oh man is this guy (me) going to pursue a mail fraud charge against me?" Because I told him I was definitely heading that direction on Monday coming.
The uncle after explaining what happened said, "Really !... I will have him call you within the next hour, don't do anything for an hour give me a chance to contact him" I think in order to keep the law at bay he may possibly actually do the right thing and ship the saw in-damaged..At least I hope so.

Hey i kinda have been silently watching whats goin on here. If you do end up getting a trashed saw or trimmed in any way i have a pretty clean poulan pro 180 that will run on a prime but needs a fuel line and filter. If your interested you can contact me

180 is a good lil saw..... i have 2 of them mine are pretty beat up....one is a s23 short block with 180 case halfs.... runs good though...

 

[Jeff Lary]

That is something I will remember. Trimmed is an expression I have not heard in a long time. My Grandfather and Mother both used to say, Boy the Red Sox got trimmed good this afternoon! They both were avid sox fans. I cannot find any information on a 225 is it 38cc? or less? And what year do you suppose it was made? Seems like I did see something somewhere about 1995.

 

[Boomer 87]

I imagine its 38ccs. My 180 is 1.8 cubes or 30ccs i believe, but dont kid yourself, ive run an 180 against my 017 stihl. The 180 will put the hurt on the 017.

love it when a buddy finds a saw at a yard sale for 5 bux... brings it by for free i said no man here is five and a 20... it was dark but even in the dark i was happy....did not have time to check it out i was putting mulch in my yard.... any ways here is what you like to see when you get an old saw....Been on the look for a grey and black one of these saws.... so far looks like fuel lines rebuild typical stuff and the rubber mounts feel a lil weak... but im pretty stoked.....here is the pics...

yes im pretty happy

 

[Jeff Lary]

those both look very nice are they the same as the Poulan pro?

 

[stubnail67]

more or less the handle is different it has anti vibe isolator mounts...

 

[Jeff Lary]

I wonder if my maybe soon to .be 225 is antivibe? I hope so.

pretty sure it has a isolator on the handle bar and not the rear handle....if you look on the clutch side pic you can see it....think its called Av not cva

 

[stubnail67]

Nice little Poulan Pro 225 top handle. Starts, runs and everything works as it should. Sharp non-safety chain on it. Good saw to keep at a hunting camp or on a atv for clearing a downed tree.

$65 shipped to your door

see the mount on the handle bar on the clutch side..... if in good shape you some times see a lil rubber piece on the bottom of the handle bar....nothing on the rear handle.... man thats a clean yellow PP....

 

[Bill G]

I would sure hope you do get the saw

 

[Jeff Lary]

I will say this to you all. I do appreciate all the support, I would never have guessed so many people wishing for a good outcome. Lots of good advice as well thanks.
I know the saw looks sweet but now realizing what I was dealing with I had been wondering if maybe he took the photo from some post on the web someplace ? I went on to google, amazon, and e-bay as well as Craig's list looking for that photo but I never saw it anywhere else so that is a good thing I guess.

I looked also for pics of it....did not find.... also as a side note my saw i purchased from ebay thats about the same saw maybe a pound more or so the weight shows 17 lbs boxed and packed..... but like Bill G said some sellers are not honest on their labels....Still hope you get that great looking saw in the pics.... Would put a happy ending to your first saw buy on here....

Can't you do a Google search for that specific photo instead of checking all of the sites where it could have been? I'm pretty sure that you can, but I don't know how.

If you just right click on the image it will allow you to search for it. I found nothing. I do see the seller was on the site yesterday

Without further adue, She arrived at about 2:30pm today. I looked it over closely and it appears to have had very little use not a scratch anywhere that I saw. Maybe a cord or 2 ? who knows. I usually mix my saw gas 50:1 but I made up some fresh gas at about 7/8 of a gallon to the same amount of oil so it is between 40 and 50 to 1 I did not know the gasoline to oil measurement for 40:1. She had to be choked and pulled about 7 times then it popped. I shut off the choke and she sat right in my hands idling very rich though . I found the carb and leaned it out a touch and it seems ok now. I will have to run it a bit to be sure but that will have to wait till the weekend. The chain looks new except maybe a little dull I would guess that whoever owned it got the chain dull and instead of sharpening the chain they lowered the rackers. All of them have a filed flat top about 2mm long. I guess either the chain was made like that or someone said " dude file them things down and she will cut like hell" I opt for the second scenario. Here are some pictures for your Poulan Pro **** fix. It is actually quite dirty if you spent a 1/2 hour with some simple green I could sell it as a one tank of fuel saw I bet it looks that good. I am very happy]
