Saw was given to me in a box as parts. It has very few hours on it. Someone didn't get much time on it before the thrust washer went out.

Must have been faulty from the factory and been sitting in a barn somewhere

Just put it back together this week. Hard to believe it was on that kind of condition
Glad you saved it, would have been a shame to see a 3700 that nice just go to waste, I can't save them all but we sure can

Local amish chainsaw shop dropped it off for me. customer didnt want to put the money into it so the amishman saved it for me. He knows i collect them good to have friends.
Amish chainsaw shop, strange, figured they would use a misery whip.

it`s also a welding and machine shop. all equipment runs off a shaft and pulley system.
That sounds more like it.

Hahaha kind of envy the Amish way of life. Well some things anyways
Jerry, that is one nice looking 3700. Good for you, and enjoy it! Nice to know that they're still out there all over CONUS and beyond (hopefully). Max.
Say you want to get around in a horse and buggy, bet you ain't going 50 to 100 miles in a couple hours. Oh, put that chainsaw and nail gun down, ain't gonna need it. [emoji38]

I have a Poulan 3800 in Craftsman 3.8 clothing. In trying to understand the difference with the almost identical 3700 I've gleaned the following:
* 3700 - earlier model, chrome bore with alum piston
* 3800 - later model. alum bore and chrome piston
Is this accurate, is one better than the other, and did they switch the chrome/alum arrangement in the 3800 to save $?

You have a good understanding of the 2. Not sure if one is better than the other but the 3700 has thin rings and is a little bit stronger depending on who you talk to. Craftsman also has the 3700 in red with the thin rings. They are each a great saw and fun to play with
