Little Poulan History

[barneyrb]

I picked this "saw" up a couple weeks ago and am just now getting around to putting some pictures up. When I saw the add on Craigslist I didn't even know that Poulan ever made a saw like this. It is EXCEPTIONALLY clean and I really don't think it's ever made more than a couple of cuts. Anyhow I do think this is an important part of what was a very good companies history.

It was that nice when I got it, all snuggled away in it's Green metal box

Nice super clean example, now you have something to make Cliff jealous. Like the others, that is the first one I have seen.

Can you get some close ups of the decals on the starter side and on the arm?

Sweet, real sweet!

Randy that sure is nice! I'm glad it went to a good home.

I knew they existed, I seen parts of one before but this is the first decent complete one I have seen at least as far as I can remember.

I have the IPL for this saw but I think its too big to post here.

There was also a 45/12 cut all saw based on a 245 and I would like to find one of them.

I also have IPL's for a Poulan Pro KS412 which was what appears to be a rebadged Partner and a Poulan Pro KS614 which appears to be based on the Poulan Pro 655.

I work in the concrete world and I've seen my share of cut off saws and this one is by far the flashy est est!! Bright and shiny I'd hate to get it dirty. Everyone these days would laugh at you if you toted this up to the job sight but little would they know it would eat all day long, they wouldn't laugh long. Beautiful machine I'm glad I clicked on this thread!! I don't know what you'll do with it but keep her clean. (-:

Yes, I will get some better pictures of the decals tomorrow.

Thanks Mark, this saw came with the owners manual and an IPL and both are in great shape

Yes, it is based on the 5200

This saw will have a special place right next to a couple of NOS Poulans and a couple more very cherry saws.

Back when I was a fire fighter

we had one like that with a carbide tipped blade for venting roofs. Seldom used, just started once a week and ran until it got warmed up, and always kept in the box on top of the pumper.

Very nice machine!

 

[zogger]
