Strange saw???
That looks very cool. I just can't imagine actually using it. Seems quite unwieldy to me.
Ok, I'm trying, ... enablers, all of you.
I saw it on Ebay/Craigslist

whatsa deal? this 245 got the pox? how come none of you supposedly saw nuts hadn't scooped this thang up yet? i'd also pay postage and some reasonable amount toward gas. had a chance to pick one of these up local for $50. dumb, dumb, dumb.
funny how you always remember the ones you didn't pull the trigger on fast enough. like the two 3400s for $50. dumb, dumb, dumb.
so go get the saw already or you'll be singing the "dumb, dumb, dumb" song.

Well SOMEBODY didn't try as hard as you. It's gone now...
A 245 for $25??? Sheesh. There have been exactly two 245's for sale in my CL area over the last few years. One was a rough looking green 245A for $60 (with "carburetor trouble"). The second was a cherry looking Dayton branded 245SA runner with an extra NOS air filter and some other accessories (for sale by original owner) for $150. Both were in the same city, about a 5 hour round trip (with good traffic) from me. Didn't get to either before they were gone.
Even stranger..........I'd say at least 90% of the desirable Poulans that have been listed in my CL area over the last few years have been in that same city, or nearby. If they were all green Poulans I'd say there must have been a good dealer in the area..............but they've been Poulans as well as Daytons and Craftsmans....

245-A, Yep I have one of them.
I just saw this ad:
eBay | Rare vintage saucy french ashtray 70s STIHL Chainsaw Adv Sexy Viking Girl Risque
Just curious to know how much people in the states are ready to pay for it. There were several different models manufactured in France (I have all of them) and they are easy to find here, for much cheaper than the ongoing price on Ebay US.

They can sling that chain around a bow pretty well............

How many saws do you have now Cliff?
Poulan 245
Actually, I'm playing with it right now. Seems this one was put aside because of a faulty recoil.

glad ya got it. whatsmatta with the recoil? parts available
btw. pix or it didn't happen
Good deal!
The recoils on them are a little different to most, but really a piece of cake once you get into it.
She's a beaut. The pull cord was 3/4 of the way out and wouldn't go in. Easy fix. I now know comp is very nice, and good spark. Fires on prime. Pulled the muffler and it looks great. I'll need to go through the fuel system. I have a Super 25DA that I really like, but aside from that I haven't been into the Poulans too much. This one is $25 well spent! I buy and sell/trade, but this one isn't leaving the premises.

I don't know for sure. Somewhere around 300.

The engagement part of the recoil pully wears and they tend to trap the starter dogs. A few minutes with a Dremel will fix it but, you have to remove the flywheel.

Husqvarna 372 71cc Another good one.
If you are referring to the 245, actually all it took was a couple extra spins around the pulley with the pull cord, but yes I did have to remove the flywheel. Kind of a different setup for sure, but not too difficult.
