Did you get any mounts from where I told you Mr. Todd for your 5200?

I sure did 12 of them and used 4 on the 5200 ,bottom 4. They are 5mm x .8mm threads. Could've fixed it without them. Thanks

The one on the left doesn't use a washer. I would buy the one on the right but not sure I wouldn't get the one on the left.

Nice Spanner and very nice TIG welding! Now that You have the Spanner more Green saws will migrate to you I am sure. LOL
I cant stand to listen to it myself to see what is happening or what he used. I heard folks using different AV's. IMO mute it.
Thanks! I’m a machinist by trade, but I can still stick some metal together when I need to lol.
I work for one of the larger fabrication shops on the west coast and have a lot of equipment and skilled people at my disposal.
@Goinwheelin here it is. Brad had mentioned what he used. https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/replacement-av-bushings-for-a-poulan-5200.250048/

Now that I have the 5200 apart and understand how the AV mounts work I’ll have to watch that video again. Sidewall gave me a link to source some new mounts.
Wheelin. Seeing how you only have 1 to replace I would say bite the bullet and get a stock one to replace it. The cost isn't that much compared to the value of the saw if not modified. This from a fellow machinist .
Bob,
Do you remember which direction the oiler screw is set for maximum flow on a 3400?
I saw an old thread, that you had an adjustable one a few years back. I also read through the owners & service manual for the info, but there’s no mention of it. Looking at the disassembled oil pump provides me no clues either.
I assume that unseating the screw fully CCW provides maximum flow, BUT backing out CCW hits the case hole edge after a couple of turns. I trimmed the case hole forward with a Dremel to match the angled adjustment screw head, & could now get it out w/o pulling the pump...standard pump on left.
I read that thread a few years ago when I started on mine. That's where I got the idea from when I needed to replace mine. I figured if I ever broke one which I doubt I ever will, it would be a easy to get part. Mine sits on the shelf until I decide I just want to hear it run. Haven't stuck it in any wood yet. Maybe this summer I'll try it out.

Probably gonna need at least two. I see what you’re saying about keeping it 100% Poulan. I’ll do my best

It is my some what less than humble opinion that it is your saw. Make it into whatever you want!! Use whatever parts you want!

I agree wholeheartedly. I always try to use oem or standard parts if possible, but if something is NLA then I don’t mind fabricating something or even improving an existing design. I don’t think I’ll be able to find oem bushings and I don’t like the metric thread idea so I am going to see what I can come up with.
Nice job Todd.
Are you ready for dino 3.0 , bigger pump, cleaner looking and I can bog a saw down and make it work. I think this is what I was after from the start 
I just had RIP jr running and made it pull 1000 psi, it did and it knew it.
Wow Todd you have been a busy man.
Bit the bullet and ordered two NOS mounts off eBay. $34 each!
I feel dirty Like when you wake up in the morning after taking home something you found at last call.
