Craftsman/Poulan/Homelite identification.

[Den]

I bought this Craftsman 3.7 saw a couple years ago and assumed because it says "3.7" on the side, that it is a Poulan Counter Vibe 3700. But I'm not so sure now... I think it might be a CV 3400. It matches my original Poulan CV 3400 and differs from my Poulan CV 4000. I don't own a Poulan CV 3700 on hand to compare it to. What do you folks think?

Then I bought this Craftsman 3.7 the other day, which I think is a Homelite Super EZ. Am I right?

The first 4 pictures are of what I believe is the 3700, the last 3 photo's are of what I believe to be the Homelite Super EZ.

Could be a 3800. Need to pull muffler and see if the rings are thick or thin. Thick is a 3800, thin is a 3700.

Ok, the last saw might be a Homelite.

Yup, Roper. Sears sold several train loads of them.

Thanks for the info on the Roper.
I was wondering why I didn't see a Textron sticker anywhere on it !!!

Sold the Craftsman/Roper to a happy buyer. That thing was clean.

I'll keep the Craftsman/Poulan forever though.
Incidentally, I converted 3.7 cubic inches to cc's, and it worked out to 61 cc's.
So I'll say with certainty, the Craftsman/Poulan is a CV 3700.

Love your logo, Corey. Is it an early Ducati bevel drive single?

Yes, 450 desmo, the engine was originally in a '71 450 r/t, currently in a one off street/race chassis.

Started out as this;


Ended up here;

Love them both, Corey, but my heart is with the Cafe' racer. GORGEOUS!! I remember seeing a Ducati Diana 250 in 1965 with the optional stuff and fell in love with Ducatis then. I am sooo envious of your stable. John

1965 350 Sebring. Beat it to death and it never quit. just don’t go out after dark as the charging circuit couldn’t keep up with the lights.
always wanted the 250 scrambler, or the 450 scrambler

Always wanted what you have in the Sebring, maybe with with an enormous dual-leading shoe drum brake up front laced to those beautiful Borrani rims. Is the reverse cone megga from a Norton?
