Well then I wont tell you what I paid for it lmao
Let's just say I was at a auction and I was the only one that bid on it haha
Thanks man! I didn't know anything about these older poulans until I got this one. I was shocked!
Thanks ohiogregg! I am pretty stoked about it. I've been messing around with much smaller saws for awhile now and was thinking of getting a new big stihl this year. My last poulan pro got slung to the ground a few times in a fit/melt down lol. I've had a lot of saws " small eng repair guy here" but the only ones that seem to really work are the older ones. As far as the bar goes I was thinking about a 30". I don't think I would need anything bigger then that. I do plan on heating me next home with wood but I can always get bigger if needed right lol. As far as crank seals go, That would be a new one for me. Ive never done them b4 but I think with as much info thats on here I could handle it.
Yeah I have seen that the parts are hard to come by but that might make it more fun lol. Thanks for the tip on the bar. I'd like the biggest bar the saw could RESPONSIBLY run but if there to hard to find a 28 it is lol I have made dogs for other saws in the past and was thinking I would find one for this saw and have some copies made. I have the old air filter for it but I'm not sure if I can save it or not. Any tips on that? Soap and water? Oh and thanks for the parts cross info!! that will help me a ton!
Well to be honest i'm the type of guy that never really sales anything but if I don't use it and you need it, i'm sure we can work something out
Hey zogger, Where about are you at? I'm in north Ga as well
I'm in gwinnett co. Not to many sticks out here but a lot of gun fire and full side walks. I like to think of it as the new wild west lol. My friends got what we thing is a 3400 bow saw but we are not sure yet. All the stickers have long been gone. The best saw I have before this one is a old cast craftsman top handle powersharp. Thats my go to saw for most of the stuff I do. The thing runs like a top. I'll get some pics of it in the day light. I just sold a bile of saws the size of a riding mower. I fix mowers and that kind of stuff so people just give my stuff all the time. Every once and a while I get something worth saving.
Just wash the best you can, and air etc. I had one one time that the flocking was gone. I tried using a foam material to put in the filter. Wasn't great, but it got me by, till I found one. I guess there is other air filter material you could cut and make one also. Just have to get creative till ya can get a new or better one.
