Craftsman 5.2

[pastryguyhawaii]

I thought I'd post this NOS saw I traded Kensie for. Pretty stout runner for a Craftsman.

Actually a Poulan 5200.

... like you didn't know.

Why do you think I traded away my only Stihl for it. And I really liked that saw, but how often does a new 5200 become available.

It was a very nice MMWS 460. I hated to let it go but I have that sweet 120si and a HackedUp 288 lite on each side so I think I'll survive.

Thanks Lee. I usually leave the NOS saws alone but I couldn't pass this one up.

I don't know, your Poulan looks awfully nice to me.

I sold this Dayton last year and sorta wish I hadn't, it was even more rare than the Craftsman model.

How does that model compare to this one (size, weight, etc.)?


This is the 3.7/18 (3.7 cu in., 18 bar). It runs very well today.

The 5.2 is bigger, heavier and nastier.

Like comparing a stock '70 Camaro to a Hemi 'Cuda.

IMHO, the stock 5.2 (Poulan 5200) has one of the nicest sounding exhausts ever.

So, the 5.2 Craftsman is even bigger and nastier that this Poulan 4000?

This saw runs really well.

The 5.2 is just that 5.2 cubic inch or 85cc and the exhaust tone is very unique and positively cool. I have patterned a lot of muffler mods after the 5.2, but none sound the same......

Well said. You're right about that exhaust, they do sound mean.

I had a 4000 once that was really nice but there is no comparison. If you are ever on the Big Island I would let you see for yourself.

So, for the sake of science... we're gonna need a video of that beast... or any 5.2/5200 for exhaust note reference.
