There are some Poulan Pro bar's that are large mount Husky bars, the ones used on like the pp475 etc.
finally got out and cut some wood today, Iron Mike and Chris came over, Mike brought his 525 and 455, Chris had a Super XL and a plastic Poulan job. I first grabbed a 306A (it popped) and then no spark, grabbed another 306A (tank gasket is leaking) grabbed a 361 and it would not start at first, had to free up the needle from sitting i guess. This has happened to me several times. I ended up using the 361 and a 3400. We had a fun time and cut about a cord maybe more of River Birch and some other tree.
Here's my last summer's score for $35. Boy was I all full of myself about running across such a deal and couldn't wait to gloat about it with you guys.....until I was about three miles from home after a 160 mile trip for the saw and my Blazer just flat out died at a country intersection and wasn't going anywhere any time soon without a tow. Classic S-10 fuel pump gone bad after 125,000 miles, almost to the freekin' mile.
$90 tow, $280 for the fuel pump r&r, but only $35 for the saw? Still a helluva deal in my book!
worth it... the truck woulda died anyway... doin something else... nice saw.
We were talking a bit about bow bars. A friend sent me IPL's on a bunch of Poulan bow and straight bars for sand cast and saws up to 1971. Some HT's and a couple of Poulan roller noses as well as the bows.
If anyone would like a copy (two IPL's) please send me a PM and I'll send you the link to the cloud storage

i just love the stance of the 200, 300, 400 series saws, light and full of power just sitting there, kind of like a hemi dart.
Yeah..., probably WITH the other half....and woulda ended up costing more as a result, well.., just because.
Nah, it was still a good day for ol' Pogo.
Was Poulan the first to have a bow bar? and does anyone use a bow bar commercially now.

Sorry to hear about your truck, but that was a super deal on a great saw!

Where and how is the fuel tank vented on the PP295? My SIL returned my saw and when I checked the fuel level by removing the cap it vented. Obviously it got shaken in his truck. Can't seem to find any venting apparatus.

Last year, there was a guy at a Christmas tree farm near here using a Homelite SXL-AO with a brush bar. Ran real well!
I was wondering if someone would answer the bow bar question?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Haven't a clue if they are still in use commercially on a large scale.

It's a duckbill behind a plug according to the IPL. One way valve. If the saw was shaken up I would think you heard pressure in the tank releasing. I think the vent might be on the tank top , left side near the carb. I think I can feel the bottom of the duck bill through the fuel fill hole but can't see in there
