I know they are on ebay, but i dont want to order over the net. Would rather give my money to a local business. So im guessing a kit for a walbro carb will work......
That's a K10HDB in the one auction. I often use eBay as a research tool, in the absense of the proper documentation.

I picked up a nice Craftsman "Sears Best" 3.3 ci 54cc / Poulan 3300 and it is low wear.
It has the .325 X .050 w/20" bar ... I want to convert it to 3/8 X 7 Rim drive ... any help appreciated ... what part number replaces the stock .325 pitch sprocket and Rim?
These are solid saws ... tho with an external clutch ... I just figure for the price ... I can laugh through the 200 or so cords of wood this thing will cut through for the price.

Thanks ... but I had already gone there and they of course only list the .325 and not the 3/8 ...
Poulan 306 Automatic
What does the power head weigh on one of these pups? 60cc and no plastic.
There is a couple of them on evilbay at present and maybe one would like to keep my Mac 10-10's company. 10-10 power head is 15.5#, my limit on weight.

Specs are not my thing, but very similar to or lighter, thats my feel anyway.

Fill your hands, you SOB!
I think my Poulan 306 is bigger than my 10-10s, but I think the 10-10 is light and nimble.
I know they are close, but like I said I believe the 306a is bulkier.
Cool saw though!

Is there a method to adjust the high speed mix on these 5400's. Seems like someone said that it had to be adjusted in the wood. Not sure how I am gonna hold a tachometer, the saw and adjust the mix. Looks like its pulling over 10,000 out of the wood. I had to take the airfilter cover to get my tach to read the signal.
Yeah that orgeon chart is kinda screwed up. You need the whole rim and drum setup or just the rim?
If you want just the rim, you need Oregon part # 18720 for a 3/8's x 7 rim
I think I can help here.
My 10-10A
My 306A
I think the extra 5cc is worth a couple ounces more. As far as size goes the 306 might look wider but with the recoil sticking out of the 10-10 there going to be really close.

Hey Mark, I think that's definitive!
Unless theres one drop of gas/bar oil left in the 306a
Both are great saws.

The newer 10-10 with chain brake, clutch cover and gas tank top would be heavier than the 306 by a good amount.

Craftsman / Poulan 3400, new owner, curious to learn more about it
Hello there,
Today I bought a real good running Craftsman saw, for $150 Canadian. I see now I may have paid a bit much, but I was impressed with the excellent condition the previous owner kept it in since new, and it seems more than capable of doing what I want (occasional felling, and the odd bit of framing carpentry
I've determined that it is based on a Poulan 3400, and that's why I'm here!
Model #: 358-41418
It was originally purchased in 1987, Sears Canada. Manual says 1985 on the print date. I am thinking the 41418 is a Canadian only number possibly? The manual that came with it covers 358.59516, 59318, and 59520 models, and the 41418 is just stamped on with block letters and ink, something I'm not unaccustomed to seeing with stuff adapted to the Canadian market.
This does have a chain break.
It has an 18" bar, according to the manual, it will take an Oregon P76 LP chain, Craftsman 16-20" SNR LOW KICK bar.
I cant believe how many pages are in this thread, incredible resource, but not sure I can navigate through it all. I did try a few pages.
My googling has had me at this site all day, and it has been the best source I've found, so I've taken the plunge.
Wondering what anyone might be able to tell me about this saw, what I can expect from it, results with a larger bar, etc. Am I better off looking for Poulan parts? not sure what differences. All very new to me.
I also have a Makita DCS400. It seems capable enough, but maybe a little small.
Thanks for having me aboard!
