Not a Poulan, but you seemed like the guys to share it with, and that would most appreciate it. I just love all the old saws at this GTG.

Poulan 65 worth fooling with

Browsing through a junk yard today and spied an old Poulan 65 (or so it says on the sticker), an old sandcast saw. Looks to be pretty much all there except an oil cap and some type of air filter?

I didn't look at it too long...since the really old saws don't interest me, but I was curious as to it's displacement and history. Not too much on them on the Acres site.

It had a bow saw bar on it.

82cc, you should grab it if price was right.
 
Mrs. Blosser, Gregg, Lanny, Lori and Kevin, thank you so much for the work that you do every year to make us all feel so welcomed! The Poulan GTG is a must do for anyone who enjoys good people, scenery, food and saws. Here's a few I snapped.

Folks, this Mall ran as nice as it looks. Apparently Brad has gone though every aspect of it's operation. The engine didn't miss a single beat.

It was amusing that brad could wrap the rope around the starter pulley and jerk for all he was worth, no one was holding the saw and it didn't move on the ground but the engine would start right up.

Certainly a beautiful work of art.

Gtg

My first GTG. I had a fantastic time thanks to all who attended. I don't think I've ever spent a day with a nicer or more welcoming group before.

Gregg's set up was great, the weather was perfect the food was excellent.
I got to run some really neat saws.
Mark and Gary, thanks for having some first aid stuff on hand. No injuries at the GTG of much comsequence. Just a few cuts from stationery chains. A few of us left a little red DNA at Gregg's.

Thanks again Gregg and family for all the hard work you put into the GTG.
If you find a green folding chair with the carry bag hanging on the back, keep it warm for me for next time.

Tim
