Took a ride with my buddy from work to look at some saws. I bought 6 he bought one. I know what your thinking. Thats crazy. How could my buddy only buy 1!! He got a low hour 025 for $60 and I got these.
Stihl 021-lowwww hours (look at sprocket) new b/c runs good
Homie 360- runs of prime, complete
2xPoulan 3400's- I made the trip for these. Ones in awesome shape both ran off prime
Poulan S25DA- good shape good compression
Husky 61 Rancher-160 psi, no spark

Thanks for the comments.
Yeah guido I saw you had a good score as well!
I like that white top 61, Ill dig into it and have it running and looking good again, I have to trace the no spark problem first.
The Poulans were my reason for going and they should only need the basics.

Nice haul.

What I would like to know is what is the draw deal with the 3400 as a saw goes?

They have one at a local pawn shop but they want CRAZY money for it $200 and it seems quite low on arm compression test. But they also want $200 for a beat up 017 which you can buy new for $170 locally:msp_w00t:

The 3400 is a good solid saw. 56cc, all mag construction and decent anti-vibe. Guys like them for those reasons plus they are easy to work on, and will run with most modern saws in that class, what they may lack in high rpm is made up for in torque. And finally you usually can find one for $30-$50 as most sellers think they are "junk" Poulans. $200 is in the would be in the NOS range for a 3400.

Great score for sure Joe!!!
hey I found a "suitable dumpers" for you for the 021? It's over by me.

I remember seeing a thread a few weeks ago with all the coils that are interchangealbe for those Huskies. PM Roncoinc, he more than likely has 20 of them laying around.

No expert here but I think a white top 61 might have the 2 piece ign and the coils Ron posted on are all a one piece unit.

Nice load of saws Joe. You can prolly put the 021 on ebay and it bring a good buck. If it says Stihl, people will bid on it. I like the old Husky.
