Would be great for the oil pump check valves so you don't blow them up.

OK so who's going to check the cans to see what psi pressure they are putting out?

I've got all the manuals, but the pump diaphragm has always came up as NLA. 530024345 is what I have been using to look for it. Thought you may have a different part number than what I have.

Yes,they are NLA as NOS,but you can get one from Parrish Implements as he's having them custom made for him.Skip the 5300 part of the part # because that's a Husky add on.

Thank you sir!

Bench 1 taken over by a stock appearing kart motor. Trying out the new tool.

Ole thumbs cant just push down the stronger springs to put keepers in like you can on weak stock springs.

Stock gasket is .040. This gasket .010. Plus going to try a smaller cc chamber head.

That is a nice looking head, where do you find something like that.

Online kart racing sites have them made up.

One son bought head from. https://www.ombwarehouse.com/?gclid...whV-RvFCJ6Xzy7sSz-wLfVLWmx3M19IUaAtsfEALw_wcB

Poulan fellas, if a guy decided to sell a gray 3.7 what would you consider an average price?
Thanks in advance. Still learning this line of saws.

Not enough to sell it really especially if possibly getting more in the future. I have a few freebie 3400s so many parts are usefull later on
I have 3 in bits too.

About 20 bucks

Wow thats harsh!
I'd say more like $50-100, but they certainly don't bring much
Very undervalued un my opinion.

 

[bob kern]

I'm checking fee pay as well. Sometimes it's a matter of patience waiting for the person who knows it's not a craftsman from across the pond but from Shreveport! One thing for sure, if it cuts like I'm thinking it will, I would keep it for $50! Lol

 

[dboyd351]

I would definitely keep it. You will get more for it on the site you mention, but likely not enough to make it worth selling IMHO.
It will cut very well if it is running correctly.

The 3400 is not my favorite in this series but this one was close to me and priced to move . So I felt like it would fit right in with the rest of the flock.

That's a classic old school logging saw from the deep south piney woods!
Congrats!

Green lust, another good looking bow saw that you have found, how many does that make 8 or so.
I have a 3700 and a extra bow setup.

Let’s just say 8 is not enough. The wife thinks I have a problem. The only reason I got this one is it has seen very little use and it was cheap.

OK,I finally cleaned up the oil pump for the 3499 & put a new diaphragm in it,but there's something that doesn't set quite right with me.This a.m. when doing the fine cleaning,I noticed there are 2 holes on the pump body that are wide open & it seems to me there should be some type of plug or duck bill in there to keep the crud out & the oil in.I bought another used pump on Feebay & it has fine brass wool in those 2 holes.
