I have been really busy and have had a interesting last year or so. Worked my balls off the last two years trying to get to retirement overcoming some health obstacles and other issues as well along the way. Finally retired a week ago. Now trying to get caught up around here.
Great to have MM back on here, thanks for stopping by.
Thanks, but I have not had much time for saws. Cbfarmall and I did make it up to Baraboo in August and took a bunch of Poulan Sandcast saws to display.
Mark your work on the poulan big bore kit years ago sure helped me with the one I found and got running. Much appreciated
Would like to see that trailer with all the great saws
Come to Baraboo WI next august and you will see a bunch of great saws and meet some great people .
I picked up another Poulan 3400 bow saw since the last time you were on. I was tickled when I cleaned the chain and saw Poulan stamped on it. I'm gonna sharpen it, make a few cuts with it then remove it and install another chain. That chain will be soaked in oil, wrapped in wax paper and stored.

Thanks Mark, glad to see your still here. I always liked and learned from your posts.
That vendor I mentioned earlier that had a wrist pin remover /installer that is similar to the Poulan tool is also no longer available . They called me to say they had to cancel the order because they didn't carry it any longer. Oh well it is what it is .

Anyone know a good place to get a seal for a gas cap for 3400 and do you have the part number possible.

I use the 5400 o ring 530019141, cause you can’t find the flat seals anymore.
You can also cut a flat seal from a sheet of 1/16” viton. Fleabay had some cheap viton “discarded” rounds from the center of big pipe flanges, but don’t see them...all 1/8” right now

Thanks for the part#. I tried some flat sheet my brother had, lasted for a little while but started leaking again.

A proper sized thin O ring will work...
That's what I was gonna do but old one fell apart when I removed it and kind of chicken to remove the one on my other saw, it ain't leaking if ya know what I mean.

I tried an assortment my brother has but one close to the other cap would go up inside the tank and would leak, that was the biggest he had.
