We have a thread on the different variations of the 54cc we have seen so far elsewhere. From the craftsman, 3300, 335 etc with different bore and piston options.
I cant remember them all to repost here.

Whoever was looking for the muffler cover for a TH poulan. I had 2 covers and 3 back halves and many more parts on parts saws.
Still FREE for the cost of shipping and bubble wrap envelope.

Anyone know if a PP 455 P&C will bolt up to a PP405? I know the strokes sre the same but not sure of bolt patterns.

Hey guys...looking at a real clean Poulan 245A. Tell me whats the best bar & chain set up, are the parts a real beast to get for this saw, and are there any particular issues associated with it?
Thanks,
Reg
ps...it is 3/8 and .50 correct

Although a 245 will pull a 24 quite well, I like the 20" and full chisel Oregon LGX.
It is a fun saw to run with that combo.

Like Mike said plus they take an Oregon D176 bar. 70 drive links for a 20" bar.

Hmm...I've always been partial to a 20" & chisel myself Mike...thanks!
Never seen one in person and only a pic off them on the web. Took a Poulan 2700 on trade for bigger cc builder Partner saw.
Thanks and hope you get a nice 70cc built from the partner.

655 and 5200 for sale...
http://peoria.craigslist.org/grd/4412536651.html
Notice the decals are both on and off the airbox of the 655 in the various pictures. I would say they are priced on the high end of retail.

I'd say...and those decals are interesting. Wonder whats up with that?
FYI...For restorations, these SBR rubber grommets worked well for the NLA choke rod grommet #530002594
used on the Poulan 306/245 series. A little oil, some patience, and a chopstick will eventually work it in. I first tried
to pull/roll the flange in with a string, like the method used on some Stihl carb boots, but it didn't work this time.
I looked at McMaster-Carr & a bunch of other places for the exact OEM replacement, but all others were too small
on the overall diameter to look good. These were painted over, in with the whole saw case, at the factory.
Amazon - Standard Compound SBR Grommet, 5/8" OD x 3/16" ID, 11/32" Groove Diameter, 3/32" Groove Width, 60 Durometer (Pack of 10)
The 3/16" (0.188") opening allows the 0.210" diameter choke rod to operate tightly for a good dust seal.
A bit expensive, but worth it, at about $3.50 each once you include shipping. I split the pack of 10 with
my neighbor as I needed four of them. The actual panel hole in the carb box is 0.355" on the three saws I measured out...

What do you guys think? These 4000's pretty decent runners?

This was the one listed in the trading post. Love at first sight, knew I had to have it. Hardly shows any sign of use, I am guessing less than 10 hours or so. Big thanks to the AS member that offered it for sale.

Had to go to Louisville today and made a side trip on the way back. One of the items I picked up was this nice looking 2400.
I now have the Poulan, Poulan Pro and Craftsman versions of this saw.

They are great saws. Have 3 and sent one off to MasterMind for some porting. Lots of guys like the 3700 almost as much as it's only 3 cc smaller.
