I'm not posting a sale add here, just saying I got a whole bunch of NOS parts and some used parts yesterday that I will be putting in the trading post when I get a chance to go through some of it. Bunches of hard to find stuff..

I know your supposed to run the chain a bit loose on a hard nose bar, but I think your overdoing it.And here she is after cutting up 5 big oaks

Boy, I thought the same thing but kept my mouth shut. Thanks Mark.
All is well here. Going to look at the first Poulan worth looking at in a long while tonight.
Any tips on getting the red cap off to access the manual oiler on a 3700? I'm afraid of breaking it. I was changing pumps today as the one on the saw is missing the little metal cover they stake in to hold the check ball and spring. The one I put on oils automatically but the manual oiler does not.

If you're careful it will come off. I've done it though I was unsure as you are now. Believe I took a small adjustable wrench and fit it under the cap and gave it a couple gentle taps.

Yeah I can't remember the last time I've seen him here. Hope he is doing well.
That belonged to my late preacher, all he done was gas and oil. All I did was cleaned it up and got it running , other that that it sits on a shelf me to remember him. He was a dear friend that I grew up around, plus he was my brother's pa in-law.

Hello Mark. Still putting in lots of hours at the job.
Hi Roger, I'm off right now, but maybe going back in the next week or two. Feast or famine.

That they are if the weight don't bother you much..
Thanks Steve..
I thought the spring holding the check ball in my pump had worked its way out again today, when I had first started to cut. Auto was not oiling well. Turns out the fine dust from the Fir was clogging the bar hole rather quickly. That, and I had forgotten to clean out the rails last time. A pump on the manual every couple of cuts or so kept things moving along. I think these saws cut and oil the bar best on 16" setups. This one was wearing a 20".
There was a good 1/2 lb of cake under the cover and hood.

Hoggwood, I don't see a lot of 3400's with a chainbrake. I've got an NOS chainbrake cover but don't like using them.
