I guess those magnets are finally getting your mind straight again!!!

Thank goodness! I thought you might be ruined forever!!!:msp_tongue:

Mike, I think im still ruined.....Used to be I had one brand of saws, one bar mount pattern, and plenty of room in the shop. Now it looks like a small salvage yard in there, and it takes me 30 minutes to find a chain to fit anything.

 

[wigglesworth]

My first "real" saw was a 3400, kinda miss that one...

Mine too. It pulled a 20" 3/8 full comp with ease. U could lean on her all you wanted. Not too many 50cc class saws will do that nowadays.

Nice work Wigs, tried to rep but have to spread it around. That saw is an animal.

Congrats Jeremy, a very nice saw!

Jeremy, you done a fine job on a fine saw, I don't care what color or who made it, its a good one.

I bet that is how just about all of our shops look who are in this forum. Pretty soon you'll be counting drive links to make sure you have the right loop for the bar you're putting on. I find myself doing that from time to time, the loop that goes on my 20" Stihl bar is only off one or two links from the loop that goes on my 20" Dolmar bars.

I'm looking to add A Poulan to my saws. Any recommendations as far as interesting, reliable and easy to find parts.

That is a nice running saw - nice sounding animal thats for sure.

Lovely exhaust note on that saw - and it seems to have heaps of torque. Very sympathetic restoration with that bar.
I bought a 3400 new in 1981 and cut an awful lot of firewood with it. The guy where I bought it sold big Poulans to the loggers - I could not afford one in those days but I wanted one bad. He lent me a 4200 when mine was being fixed and I have been a supporter of the green ever since.:msp_smile:

[Man of $tihl]

very nice. think i'm starting to like those poulans alot!:msp_biggrin:

 

[thomas72]

Nice saw! Saw shops and loggers around here did not really like them as much as the 5200.

 

[Arrowhead]

Nice looking saw Jeremy. Gota love the vintage torque.

 

[Modifiedmark]

Yup,


Always said some of the best saws Poulan sold,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,They never made.

I find it intersting that while researching my Lil Jon/Jonsered saw, that I stumbled across some documentation showing Poulan branded at least 9 saws for Dolmar.

This 5500 has nothing on a 5200 anyhow except for weight.

It's got 5cc more and better looks

 

[MS460WOODCHUCK]

Everyone has an opinion and mine happens to be different than yours.:msp_flapper:

LOL. I wasn't trying to hijack the thread but everyone was starting to chime in about their own green machine and I thought someone might give me some ideas. I am working on a SXL 925 possibility at the moment from Indiana and a 306A.
