OK go ahead and laugh at my Poulan

Isn't it weird that most small to midsize saws didn't have bucking dogs back then? I remember the first time I saw a Stihl 020T and was surprised by the steel dogs. These days you just expect the dogs to be there on every saw.

This saw is a Jonsered design. The saws are really great IMO.
I have a Partner 710, same family of saws and it is a beast to go...
Wonderful saw!

Guy in TX sent me pics of the Partner 395 exact same saw in yellow. Well almost, I just noticed his P 395 has a chain brake on the clutch cover.
 
I see by that bottom pic it has a spring suspension system .Similar to the Craftsman/Poulan I have .

The thing actually does pretty well considereing what it is .Not really a bad little firewooder if the stuff isn't too large .

It has some problems though that I've not taken the time to decipher .For one though it had an air scoop gizmo like a Huskey that I thought it didn't need but evidently it does .Heats up a tad bit .

To clarify my last post I meant the 415 Poulan is same family as the 710 I have.m I like these very much!

The Poulan 395 is same family as Partner 345/395.. These I don't like very much at all....

I need to clarify for you now too. Partner 395 is same as Poulan 2100.

I never heard or seen of a poulan 395 yet, but then again I never heard of a 2100 till this week.

Any of you older guys run these 65cc poulans? Just picked up a poulan 4000 to check out for myself on some trading.
All I can tell so far is open port design from looking at cylinder pics posted in the past on the web.

I never seem to find any Poulans except the clam shell designs llke sold by Sears .There's the two s-25 but I'm not going to mess with them but they do have removable cylinders .
 
I think I had one many years ago that looked something like that. I want to say a 3700? Maybe 4400? But then I bought my first Stihl, an 038 Mag, and never used the Poulan again. I don't remember what happened to it but it was gone within 30 days of me buying the Stihl.

Took in a couple more of them poulans :D Poulan 505 82cc and 365 65cc and a odd ball John Deere 800V 80cc, which turns out to be a Echo 8000 in yellow. Goooo Echoooo ;)

If these 2 80cc saws pan out, I might cut my woods ported 066 loose. I have posted pics of it here before if someone is interested.

Seems like the Pro's like Echo's too from what I have read. You also notice I didnt ever ask you for advice Bill. :lol:

Plus I am a nobody that just messes with saws for a stress relief. :lol::lol:

Or are you still waiting for good weather :/:

Just thawing out here and getting good and muddy.

I know I am going to like it after the test run before putting it up for winter. I almost pulled it out of hibernation when a ice storm was coming in.
 
A heck of a deal you got on that Power Pruner, Kevin. I know several landscapers and tree guys who have them and they all like them a lot.
 
Speaking of power pruner ,I have a little that to do myself from looking at the trees this afternoon .Just like C4 Fun it's a tad soggy here at the moment .
 
Oh you can't imagine mud unless you've seen Ohio mud at certain times .The rich organic top soil will mire down just about anything if conditions are right .

Fact on my way home from work Monday I saw an old 3020 John-Deere sunk up to the axle .

I just called for 3-4 truck loads at 14 ton apiece of 57 limestone for my driveway. It's getting that bad with all this rain BS.
