Todd and others just in case. There is a guy selling a ton of poulan nos parts in the CRG. Bow parts etc etc etc.

Thought of a few of you since you like to restore with decals.

Some of you long time members may recall the issue I had with the chain spinning at idle on my S25 da’s. Out of 5, I only have one the behaves properly. I had some time and decided to see what the issue was. As my pic shows, the only sprocket that works properly, regardless of which clutch I use, is the one on the right. My other sprockets are like the one on the left and the chain spins at idle regardless of which clutch I use. Any thoughts as i’m Baffled as to the reason.

Thank you!

Couple of the collectors working on getting a bunch of the bow parts and other stuff. But he is still listing.

I was wanting the 3D poulan sign myself. But a local got it he said.

Off set maybe?

Offset? Not sure what ur referring to.

Offset? Not sure what ur referring to.

See how the offset is made where the washer fits in there. The one on the left is probably rubbing and making the drum spin and the one on the right has the correct clearance.

Steve has it.

If you still would like to have one, Sears actually has some in their warehouse, $17 per, & the daym shipping is 2/3 again the cost of the bearing, lol.

But, when you’re hard up to get a P5400 thin ring muscle saw back together, you’ll pay the price for one.

Those bearings fit the rods on the whole series.

Well, Sears cancelled my order.

The 5400 WP bearing is NLA as I thought...I even called them beforehand to check, made a liar out of me...Husky bearing on order now!

Getting further into the 5200. Made a spanner wrench for the clutch but neglected to make a plate for my flywheel puller so the removal of those will wait until tomorrow.
Interesting design. Will need to address one of the antivibe mounts. Thinking about making a polyurethane bushing to replace it. otherwise the tank goes to work tomorrow for cleanup.

I imagine the 4 lower mounts have gotten soft. All of mine were shot so I replaced them. The 4 lower ones were toast and the two uppers had a lot of flex.

This is the only bad one as far as I can tell.

I’ll get into it further tomorrow. From what I see bushings are expensive unless there is another source or cross reference part #. Thought of just ordering some polyurethane and turning a bushing

Be glad you don't have to do what I did to fix the 5200 I just finished. The front right side mount had broken the hole part of the case away. I had a old case that I cut the part I needed and had a friend weld the magnesium piece back in. Whatever it takes to save one
