procarbine did ya run the 3.3 anymore? Its a snow day here & I think Im gonna dissemble mine here on the counter this afternoon. I slipped in the garage & slid a round in the chamber only to see my kids spook off a yote, o well he hunts another day, he was pretty in the snow.
anyone try & machine into the side covers on the 3000's a side chain tensioner? Diggers dad in the earthquake thread posted some numbers for some parts & Im thinkin about a retro fit on this sears best 3.3 as im missn the original parts anywho.

If you're serious, shoot me a PM, or conversation, or whatever. I might have something you'd be interested in.

Except for at least one...I'm pretty sure this is original, I never changed any thing on this one except the bar. I did take the brace/chain catcher bracket off of this and put it on a 4000, because it had better paint, this one is kinda ugly.
Gregg,
I love those 3700s. I know mine had the larger and braced handle as well. It was broke and I replaced it with a 3400 style that I had to bore out.

Youze gutz better watch it.
I fought off the yella fever, but the green (or poulan yella) is starting to itch at me.
I spy about a half a dozen in that group that would help the condition along.
What is it they say about supply and demand?

Picked up a 2800 w/o a tank assembly. Cylinder gasket leaked so I pulled cylinder and did a squish test, metal to metal. .018". Seems a little to tight for me so I may have to make a gasket to raise it. First time I've had this situation with a Poulan. Then on to find some missing parts.

What a nice collection of saws.
I find it is easier to accumulate saws then to have a nice place to store them all, including the part saws.
Your saws look very clean.

OK which of you's guys got this used "3400" P/C on ebay? I'd just put that one in my watch list last night. They guy still has a 4000 style flywheel (look at the pawls) listed as being for/from a 3400. I'd seen the flywheel first, and then saw the P/C listed. My bet is that somebody else has eagle eyes.

Look at the piston and rings. To my eyes, those are thin rings on a bare piston. Pics aren't the best, but that bore looks chromed to me too. That ain't no 3400 P/C (if it was, it'd have a chromed piston with thick rings). It's gotta be a 3700 or 4000 P/C. Will be funny if somebody actually bought it expecting a 3400 P/C and will be getting a nice surprise when they arrive (or they never notice what they really have...........................and end up with the strongest "3400" they're ever seen).

Looking close I think that's a 3400 piston (maybe 3800). Looks like a thick ring and has the typical scoring above the top ring land.

You guys sure make it hard for a fella to sell his 3400, and 4000 I just don't use em and they deserve to be used.

I'm still thinking that's a thin ring piston. Here's a known 3400 thick ring piston listed by our friend Bryan Plust. you can see the thick ring grooves as well as the chrome plating.

the poulan/Craftsman bar /hand guard he is offering is from a 3700. my guess is 3700 piston/ cylinder also
actually that piston and cylinder are both questionable in my book. I would not expect them to last long.

as well as the scoring on it.
I must be seeing something goofy. Both links go to the same picture of the same piston.
