I know a little, I bought and rebuilt two of them. Still have one.
A Stihl 064 piston can be modified to work in one. Some parts are still available from Poulan....
looks nice but what kind of double dawg beastie saw is it attached to. Chain brake looks a little Partnerish....
Its not a Poulan, that's why I didn't post the saws picture in the Poulan thread!
It is a big Swede though.I was going to use this bar on a sandcast as it has a slightly larger tail then most but it was a .050 gauge bar and wouldn't work well with most .404 chain.
who stocks them?
Thanks Mark, now how about the fuel line and carb kit?
Geeze, you want me to come over and put it together for you too??
Carb kit is RK23HS and the proper fuel line is NLA anywhere that I can find. It was originally a thin wall 3/16" ID line.
I converted all my big counter vibes to a 2 piece line setup using a Poulan 361 type bulk head fitting screwed into the tank. I can now use a 1/8 x 3/16 line in the tank and a 3/16 x 5/16 line from the tank to the carb.
This is the fuel fitting..
Don't forget a new duckbill checkvalve on the fittlng to the left of the fuel line.

Is it? That's not a OEM 475 piston and cyl....
I have a 475 that I rebuilt. New bearings seals piston rings. The crank seal on the clutch Side is NLA and is also odd ball size. I could never find a replacement for the oem seal. It is a good running saw and seems to have plenty of power but the 505 I believe is a better way to go.

Have ons as well. Had to replace the piston and used ,if memory serves me, a husky 372 bb piston.

Maybe someone should buy them and share them with the group. I'm willing to be the goat I'd someone will take some off my hands.
I am not sure how many I have, need to check. I would be in for one if I do not have a few already, will follow up.
Also crosses to an SKF CR6904 seal in case you prefer SKF
Thank you Tim!!
If your bored and need something to do!!, Thanks for the info!! I will let you know how it turns out when it gets here, thanks again!!Geeze, you want me to come over and put it together for you too??

I think I bought six sets at once like that that last time some come up and I think I got them for a little less.
I probably used a couple sets so I will take one off your hands if you want to do that, if no one else steps up.
Is this the one you got coming? The one these guys were talking about?

If so that is a fair deal. "IF" it is indeed a 8500 since it has no decals and the model/serial number tag is conveniently missing. It also has a early model 4200/5200 recoil on it.
It could be a 6900 or 7700 also.

Mark, I have looked quite a bit for that 361 type bulkhead fitting, where can I get 1? Also I don't think my 8500 has that type duckbill looking fitting on it? Whats the best way to get the reed valve out & the cylinder off? Yes I got the bolts out but damn that stuff is glued - stuck on good. I have rapped it several times & seems its on permanent.Geeze, you want me to come over and put it together for you too??
