Son in law says that poulan has a mean lick at idle. [emoji38]

Steve

Yes it does

 

[s sidewall]

I had to bend the throttle tab on carb to be able to adjust idle speed, idled too low and would cut off and idle screw was bottomed out. Carb came off a 4200, doesn't have the cut off valve on this one and saw will definitely rev up.

Thanks Steve, I’ll take two quarter pounders with cheese and two dogs. Now I’m hungry watching you flipping burgers. I like the rolls toasted on the dark side.

We’re talking vintage here what years are vintage.?

How far back does antique go?

How about post vintage?

I’m collecting Husqvarna saws from 1979/1980 era up to newer ones today. These were there hay day.

I personally would consider anything pre 60's antique and 60s-89 vintage, but I do lump everything up to about 95 into the vintage class lol, like the 2094/95, 288, 394 etc.

Ooooooh!

Here are the pictures y'all asked for! Also I've checked around on Craigslist but I didn't find too much. I've been looking around eBay, but without knowing the model lines for the saws I don't get many hits.

Very nice I would say that it's got very little time put on it and that's way cool.

I found this saw this winter. Just had some time to put it together.
Suppose to be a runner but I haven't tried it yet.

Yep, it's definitely a looker, it lives on the shelf most of the time, but I take it for a spin every now and then lol

Beautiful Poulan model 44, was it restored because it's in great shape! I have a Poulan two man I'm going to work on for the owner of the local saw shop, it's the twin to this model but it's like 54 or something like that, I was hoping to find a source for parts but I haven't had much luck yet

This is when real men were loggers. Not the ones who complain the saws today are too heavy. I cut with my 2100’s for decades. No problem.

From what I can tell it's all original.
I think Poulan made a 52 that is like mine. Not sure what the difference is.

Here are some new members of my herd...
First is a sweet Model 21 PM Canadien.It is in original condition.Came with a bunch of stuff like the complete field repair kit,the plastic that the bar was warped in and a can of oil.Very low use saw,the decals are paper and are still in good condition,hardly any wear on the sprocket.

 

[Yukon Stihl]

Then its rough and tough cousin PM Canadien 275
This is the first PM saw that i have found with a rim drive and of course it needs a muffler

 

[Yukon Stihl]

Then the third one that fits the vintage bill...
Mall 6 2 man not seized so it may run one day.Lots of patina not much paint.
