Just another junk chainsaw

I prefer the pro grade mag cased poulans.

I run and rebuild and sell local. Keep guys in these over those plastic saws the big 2 sell for 3 times the prices. SMH

Like the little mag cased saws over the stihl 026 260. Built the same almost. But the poulan is built better with real choke etc.

I get calls from all over the US from shops for parts and even from UK etc. I been moving alot of my parts stash lately since I been retired.

Excellent. You sure know your saws.

Took this on trade a partner 500. Good looking piston. Prob just part it.

Broken clutch and the poor poulan 325 clutch cover. Aka same as partner 5500.

Parts were getting hard to find like 10 years ago when I quit using them.

Took this old 74cc poulan in today.

Right now SOLD pending pick up. Like quick sells like that. But of course haven't seen the green.
Not bad for PHO weight on old saw either.

My WAG from reading. 245A 1971 to 1980 and then 245SA till 1987.

Just info from reading up on it.

Guy has me holding it for him to drive up to get to go with his 306.

Tanks were super clean inside etc.

I mean 74cc for $150 not bad IMO. Wouldnt go much higher though.

I haven’t done this since I tested a stock muffler modded 361 with 32”.
Clone G366 stock muffler mod with 32” full skip square.

32" was buried for most of cut

Ok impressive it pulled it buried. Need to check and see how it oiled now. Oem was getting stingy back then even is a 2' spruce years back

Imo oiled better then what I recall my oem 361 did in just 2’ of spruce and 32” back then
