If this is off topic and should be a new thread let me know.
I am working on gaining more saws but was wondering where do you find the older poulan saws besides craigslist and ebay?
Thanks Guido Savage. I am not sure about that chainsaw just yet. Is there any sponsors on the forum that sell old chainsaws and nos saws. The chainsawr.com has a lot of parts but not alot of whole chainsaws.

The more you get into saws, the more saws will find you.Man!! WOW!!! You probably are not going to tell us but how did you get these saws? Were you a poulan dealer at one point?

Little something about the 655 I just picked up last weekend. From some things I had read, as far as production with the Boost Port saws goes, they started with the BP cyl and the standard pistons...then switched over to the windowed pistons later in prod after realizing they could get more power. Can anybody confirm that? I contacted Poulan and with the numbers on my saw, they were able to confirm a prod year of 1993. It's got gray handles and AF cover on it. ( I heard the black handled ones were the majority of the BP saws? I pulled the muffler off, and to my surprise, there was a BP in the back of the cyl...but no window in the piston. Still more than I bargained for when I bought it. My question is...does anyone know when in the prod run, they changed this? Did it go from the std 655 to the 655BP or were they both produced at the same time, just diff options? The 655 debuted in '88 but not sure how long they were manufac. or where in the line my '93 falls. What are the chances that it was an "early" factory BP saw with the std piston? Doesn't appear to have been messed with much. Doubt it had a lot of hard every day use from the looks of it. Was the "big saw" for a fire dept.

She's a beaut! I loves me a good 4400!
A 4400 was my first medium/large saw, and until I've been on this forum, haven't really seen any. They will always have a special place in my heart (and in my collection).That is only my second one. Next up will be the full wrap 5200 and then the 4900.
