Poulan Pro 475 (Jonsered 2077), in excellent cosmetic condition. Saw needs a good cleaning, has been sitting for a while. Saw is in very, very good cosmetic condition and does not appear to have much time on it at all. I think this one could clean up to near new condition.
I bought this saw about 5 months ago or so, as a nice looker, but non-runner. Saw had VERY good compression, pulled over real smooth, but smelled of varnish/ old gas. Never tried to start it, put it directly out back in my storage building.
Fast forward 5 months... got it out this evening, saw was hard to pull over. Old gas/ varnish that I failed to get out of this saw looks more like tar (from what I could see through the intake, and the plug hole). IMO, I would pull cylinder, fill with kerosene, and soak cylinder/ piston. I don't know that this saw needs anything other than a fuel system check/clean, I think at worst you would have a new piston and rings in it. I have not pulled muffler (needs long reach T25 torx, which I do not have). May or may not be good on the inside, felt great with excellent comp. 5 months ago. Jug looked ok from what little I could tell through plug hole and intake.
No play on flywheel or clutch side, saw really does not appear to have much time on it. Very nice full wrap in exc. shape, the less than common WC falling spikes. This is a really nice saw, but needing a looking over/ maybe more- and priced accordingly.
Really looking for the cash, but will entertain a trade offer. Please contact me via PM. Saw will be sold PHO, paypal or m/o accepted. $225 plus shipping, and will ship UPS ground, for actual cost.
P.S.- yes that is a Jred tank, although I am a purist I like the way it looks and would leave it as is
, saw would make a sweet ported GTG queen. If you do decide to replace the piston, and go with a 064, or a 372BB, I will machine the piston to your desired deck height for free.
SOLD!
