Boomer is back! I haven't had much time to work on saws either lately. Done a better job of collecting them actually. If that creamsickle needs a new home away from all that Poulan goodness I'll gladly take care of him for awhile.

I know im way behind, the thread appears to have taken off like a rocketship lol.

Helped a buddy cut last weekend, had a 3400, 440 mag,070,p41, and my newest toy a ported husky 545 with autotune. Had fun minus the part where I almost got steamrolled by a cottonwood log, only bruised a leg but saved the 070 from getting the same steamroller treatment!

I picked up a 545 last weekend but it was blown up. I was super disappointed that it was blown up. The parts were more than I wanted to spend right now. So the saw is on the brown truck to a new home.

I tried to vacuum test my MS360 and my mityvac bit the dust. I need a new duckbill for it. Can mityvac parts be bought locally so I can have them this weekend? I pressure tested the saw with a garden sprayer and it passed.

It depends on what you mean by "locally". Try looking here if there's somebody selling parts in your area: http://www.mityvac.com/pages/distributors.aspx

It seems Mityvac has been bought out and spare parts have become pretty pricey however... I need a converter valve for mine and I am having a tough time finding a rebuild kit for honest money.

There a no distributors in Jackson, MS. That’s odd!
