No it clearly says 336 on the clutch cover looks identical to a 355

 

[Efisher26]

335 was made in 88, 336 was 93, everything else is same

 

[Boomer 87]

Ok, the nos piston and cylinder kit will fit either then

 

[SalahHH83]

I pulled off the muffler and snapped some pics of the bore and piston on the 4000. Pretty happy overall. Just wish I could find some NOS rings for the 4000s

Nice haul. I dont get lucky like that anymore.

Here's a question for the poulan guys. How would a poulan pro 475 and a 5200 stack up against one another? Stone stock. Which would come out ahead, with same bar and chains?

5200 has more torque. It is a 85cc monster. The 475 is a higher revving totally different era saw. 77cc saw. I would love to own either one. My opinion only

Lucky for me I own both I see a showdown when there all done and ready. So I figure with a short bar the 475 would cut faster then when the bars get long and the wood gets big the 5200 would shine. I cannot wait to get the 5200 in tip-top shape. Everyone keeps telling me in Stock form it's one of the strongest saws in its class even by today's standards

To put them in same cc range. I have run 5200 and 505. 4900 and 475. The older saws are torque monsters and beast in the cuts. Even though IMO they are better saws in the cut then the partner designed saws. I still prefer the newer ones.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Oh and you need to pull them rev limited just over 10K coil out of them 475 IMO.

I promised myself no more buying saws unless I found a running 5200 or 5400. Well I just came across TWO running Poulan 5200s! One with a 28" bar and the other with a 26" bar!

Nice YOU SUCK x2 are they runners ?

So maybe now isn't a good time to tell you that the total purchase price was $350?

According to the seller who seems like a very stand up guy, they both run fine. He is shipping them to me so I'm obviously taking a little bit of a gamble but I figured at that price, I can't go wrong. I REALLY wanted a 5400 but am very happy with a couple of 5200s

He seems like a super nice guy. He was asking $350. I paid him the $350. I actually have access to free shipping via ups (Long story but a perk of my job) so I sent him the ups labels to ship them. He was kind enough to box them up and pack them. I want to restore one of them to surprise my dad. He's too old to use such a big saw now but he'll be happy to see one of these restored to its old glory.

I was going to go look at those two 5200s a couple days ago and decided to pass on em. Hopefully they are in good shape for you, make sure you go through them, he said they haven't ran in 8 years.

 

[blk05crew]

Replaced the crank seals on my newly acquired 3400 and it fixed the air leak, runs good, did a quick muff mod and should be ready to cut now. Most work I've done on a saw in several months!
