Those working for dad projects are always the best cuz you get the biggest smiles in return, enjoy

The 3 aint going back. 3300 2000 minimac. They are mine now.

He is sticking with easy start 180 I gave him and the decomp 152 I am giving him. He has got up there in the age that it is hard to pull them over now. Age 79 and battle with cancer last year has taken their toll.

Enjoyed setting a new deer stand with him and dragging my dang deer out.
Bet I take some saws and clear that logging road out next year. That way can take the 6x6 or atv back to the deer.

Got to pull a motor on dad's John Deere riding mower next week to fix lower crankcase leak, he better be smiling.

Found a 2014 pic of the 3300 last time I went though it for him. Sure dont look like this right now.

I keep 3300 info here. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/poulan/what-poulan-is-this/

Yesterday my son and 11 year old grand son got back from their hunt, both of them got a nice cow elk, took 2 days to pack both of the elk out. Happy hunters

My son inlaw told me that his younger brother had gotten a deer on our place last Sunday. Funny thing is it fell in the creek. Bad thing was his boots went only to his knees, water was almost waist deep, guess who went swimming. [emoji38]

Bought this paperweight at auction for $15. Must be old or from a harvester as it is .080. The 3 slot mount and front handel hole has me guessing .

Little poulan ****. Diggin the bright colours

Dads saws back with me I told you about.
Left the yellow 152 to replace the 3300 he bought new in 93. The 2000 I bought in 94 replaced the minimac he bought in 79. The 180 easy start replaced those 2.
But the 180 he said started acting wonky. When I was down there it wouldnt even fire off.
Between processing a deer today I took a quick look. IMO just time for a carb. Will run long as I squirt mix in it. I wont waste time rebuilding as these are to cheap new.
The other 3 are just getting cleaned someday and going on the shelf.

My thumb is doing well and on the mend, sure glad I'm a Lefty and it's the right

Good job Todd. 4000 parts are hear yay. Spent an hour getting the bearings set it the right spot hopfully the buggers stay there. My crank seals only have 1 lip compared to the originals? There skf seals. Going to start filing down the rings today at smoko time there basicly the locating pin too long from the 7700

 

[Todd Loosli]

Glad you have parts to work with, the seals should be good, the second lip is more like a guard to keep things from going in, a shield. Keep us posted on the project and just take your time. I'm real interested in the rings and how they work

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Thanks Todd yea will be hard not rush it just want to have it running again
