Several years ago I had added to a post about old chain saws I had used and liked.
For me it was a model 25 Polan badged as a Allis Chalmbers my brother bought.
A fellow I worked with asked me to take his Sears badged one and see if i could get it running right and sharpen the chain.
I cleaned the carb on it and used it for a week cutting fire wood before takeing it back to him asked about him selling it to me. He declined as it had belonged to a relative of his wife she thought highly of.
In the end I posted I would like one and was watching for one.
Comes about 4 maybe even 5 years later I get a message from a guy in Minnesota who said he had two of them a Sears branded one and a true Polan branded one and I could have one for the cost of shipping.
Sent pictures and I chose the true Polan one.
He boxed it up sent it USPS cost 23.00. It arrived Saturday evening as our mail rarely arrives before 5:00 PM any longer.
Didn't have time to much more than unpack it Saturday evening. checked it over put a bit of premix VP fuel fix in a can in the tank and dribbled a bit in the carb and it started in two pulls, sat and idled for about 5 minutes before I shut it down.
It didn't come with a bar and chain, have no idea what is calls for other than 3/8 LP chain.
Aftewr I got home last evening I removed the bar and chain from my Polan 2150 to see it that will work.
Going to try it today.
