I'd just like to say thank-you again to all the guys who helped me out with advice and parts to get this other Poulan 3700/3400 up and running . It was an uphill battle and struggle from the get go starting with getting that wrist pin back in where it should be to fighting with that HDB carb that had a bad check valve along with some Mickey Mouse ignition problems but I finally won the fight . I have worked on many saws but this one had many first time challenges. The saw runs just about as good as the other Poulan I posted the pic earlier in the thread . It sliced oak cookies with no problem burying the bar in the wood . It is not a speed demon because of the chain I put on it but has a very consistent chain speed and torque cutting mid way through the wood . Not one bit of slowing down or faltering in the wood. I'm happy with the way it turned out considering it is a used saw with used parts and very few new parts.

I'd post a pic but it looks like any other used Poulan you see pictures of.

I still haven't located a bow bar for it but I'll find one sooner or later .
 
Who has the seal numbers for the Poulan Pro 655? Timkin 472705 is what I have pictured because I was too lazy to write it down at the time..

I was actually thinking on taking the 655 yesterday, but it has not been ran in a few years now, and I have never touched anything on it since I got it. When I get a chance I'm going to go over it and put seals in it while I'm at it.

Here you go Mark. And, you are correct.

I have used the SKF's on a 41 and 50. Tim crossed my original set for the 655 to these.

That's a good size tree and a nice load of wood Mark. We've got some big oaks like that in the swamp bottom but dad don't want any of those cut. Heck, if I did I'd catch h3l getting it out. Being my wife doesn't want me to build a fire in the house anymore, I don't have much need for firewood. Unless the power goes out for a long time, I can tell her I'm out of propane for the backup heaters.

That tree was only taken down after the last storm took part of it down. There is a garage right behind me in that picture so it needed to be taken down. I didn't drop it, the professionals with a bucket truck did. I'm probably done with any this size, too hard to handle and I wouldn't do this one but I was able to bring the tractor over to do the heavy lifting. I'm good on fire wood for this year and maybe next but I like to stay a year or so ahead, this Oak is green so it needs that much time to season.

I took 4 saws but only used 2. The PP365 done a pretty good job noodling to get them in pieces to be handled .
 
Anyone interested in trading a bigger saw for my poulan 4000? Not sure what I’m looking for exactly. Just something a little bigger.

That 4000 looks to be in great shape. Don’t have any larger Poulan,unfortunately. If going bigger, I’d suggest an older Husky 266 xp. I have one in Vermont and it’s very strong. Like it better than my Stihl MS 441.

I’d love to get my hands on a husky 266 in good condition.
