Anybody doing anything fun or saw related today? I will be working 13 hours today and 10 hours tomorrow so let me know what ya'll are doing so I can live vicariously through you this weekend:)

The price was cheap enough so I took a gamble and picked up a 3450 yesterday. Looks rough but there is not a scratch anywhere under the dirt. That made me think it was scored along with the bad pull feel. Unfortunately, I was right. Have you ever seen a regular 3450 Timbermaster with the purple plastics. I'm thinking someone did a swap with Bad Boy parts. But, you never know with Poulan... B/C also look new but have rust - nothing a good soak of WD40 can't take care of. I mainly wanted for the different set up of the larger carb, intake and muffler for a p/c that I am thinking about porting. DSCN0698.JPG

Check and see what type that is. If it's a type 3 it's 61cc. Take a pic of the cyl head, if it has vertical fins its 61cc. Not a slouch if it's a 3.4 saw either
 
Boy it is cold here! I just took the '84 for a ride into town, it fired on the third try after some pumping and wasn't very happy about it for the first few minutes but it smoothed out and ran good. My wife's new pathfinder wasn't too impressive and its 6 months old. The wood stove is loaded and we are happy to have it tonightimage.jpgimage.jpg

Love that truck Joe, those square bodies are cool rigs!
 
There's another, the 425 I believe. 3000FPS let me cut with his 475 at a GTG. That is a very, very fast saw in stock form.

415 445 425 475 505

Well. I guess my memory is as good as a stump sitting in a field. It was the 445 of 3000FPS I ran.

Purple 54cc 3450's are pretty common. I have had 5-6 of them.

Was hoping but not a type 3. The first thing that I looked at was to see if it had the Gilardoni cylinder.
