Went to a sale today and picked up 6 saws. Didn't find but 2 saws I've been looking out for and picked up 4 more just because. I have been wanting a Poulan 306 OR 245 but nothing ever around here like that pops up, well today maybe my lucky day depending of course. No bars were included as I would have had to dig through more saws, tools, saws....stuff was everywhere and I was on my lunch break. Paid $120, essentially $20 per saw( except I paid 40 for the 306 and got the Skilsaw Poulan clone for nothing).
Anyway, it was hard digging to find what I did. I wanted to stick to what I know / have worked on. I got the blue craftsman 3.7 because my 3.7 is running a piece of cardboard for air cover and this cover looks great. I got the Homelite xl12 for no reason at all other than alot of folks on this site like them. I got the Mac 1010 because of BB Ray.
Anyway, I may go back. I pulled a couple of Jonsereds out and forgot to take pics of the model numbers but they look like 621's. I'm probably wrong but If I do go back I'll double check.
Gonna post some pics of the older stuff.View attachment 936349View attachment 936350View attachment 936351View attachment 936352
Yea the bar was definitely worth the price but it runs and even better nowWell, in trying to get through some more saws, I wanted to look at the blue Sears 3.7 that was in really good shape when I got a notification on ebay that a 3.7 listed for $30 with I think is the original roller nose bar. I clicked on it and it was located 15 miles from my house. I really just wanted the bar but didn't need anything else on the saw so I just casually offered $20 if they wanted to sell it for that I just pick it up. They took it so I picked it up yday. Looked well used and missing gas cap so I didn't think it would be much to it. But compression felt great and the tank had some fudge in the bottom in a few places but the fuel line and filter looked soft and fine. Cleaned out with some carb cleaner, soaked for 30 mins, mopped it out. Put some fuel in it and without touching the carb at all, 3 pulls and it popped. Another and it was running. Idle was a little high, 1/2 a twist and it was idling pretty good.
I kind of was disappointed that it wasn't just a parts saw for the bar. Shame on me, I know it sounds crazy.
