thanks guys. where would the stickers be mounted? I know the earlier models were points but the limited production (1 year for the 245SA) would make knowing that iffy

Jerry,
I would think the points model has a wire coming from behind the starter assembly to the coil. The points IPL shows the wire with what looks like two spade connectors on it which I think would go to the coil and to the kill switch. The electronic one shouldn't have a wire coming from behind the starter unless there is a trigger back there.

The decals were usually on top of the recoil cover on the 245 & 306 type saws.

What would be a reasonable price on one of these in decent condition. It will need a carb kit and fuel line. I can get it for under a hundred.

If it's in pretty good shape most of us would grab it for under $100.

At least around me, the 3700 seems harder to find. There are a couple 4000's on CL in WA state but guys want stupid money for them.
I would have to say 3700 is harder to find, than a 4000. Unless you want to go with the Craftsman 3.7. Those seem to be out there in good numbers. I guess that is a result of being sold at Sears, where the 3700 Poulan was sold through dealers.

Thanks for the responses. I am leaning towards picking it up. A 245A is on my want list and the older Poulans do not show up around here.

The 3700 is by far harder to find. I have only owned 1, but have probably had 5 or 6 of the red 3700's and several of the gray 3800's.

I would like to find a 4000 - or any of these in Poulan form.
I have to settle thus far for a 3700 in Craftsman 3.4 clothing, and a 3400 in Mastercraft form !
I have a couple micros that need attention though. One is a 25 deluxe CV, the other is similar, maybe a regular 25?

Finally picked up a chain for the 24" inch bar I've been waiting to put on one of the 5200's. No more 20"!

So I recently said I wasn't going to buy any saws for a while. Which I didn't, but I did get lucky enough to trade some stuff I didn't need locally for a Poulan 3800 that a guy didn't want.
Anyway, it's in really good shape after I cleaned it up, even came with a case and I think the original Poulan chain and 20" bar.
It had an air leak from the cylinder being a little loose and a loose carb, but tightened everything up and now it runs like a top.
A couple pics.

I got lucky, it was local and I didn't have to give up much to get it. I'm thinking muffler mod and go chew up some wood with it!
