POULAN The Official Poulan Thread

[fossil]

I guess I'll just be content knowing it's a rebranded Poulan 20D

Dayton Electric, Dayton Texas. Parent company is Grainger Industrial Supply.

They also carried other Dayton branded Poulans,
361
306
25's
micros 1.8, 2.0, 2.3
245
5200
3400

And more I'm sure I'm missing.

I've never seen one in Canada.

Actually, a barn would be better than more shelves. You need to shoot for some of the bigger stuff. Poulan made a lot of great saws. Some off them rebranded as Poulans.

Now, does anyone have any information on the lil orange 20D type saw I posted pics of above the black saw?

Looks very much like a Dolmar 100. However the Dolmars didn't have stickers but the Dolmar branding was directly painted onto the body.
At least this is true for the later models which were labeled "Dolmar hobby 101". The model started as "Dolmar 101 mini" maybe then it had stickers, I don't know.

Am I correct to assume the Dolmar 100, Poulan 20xx / D and whatever craftsman called them, are all identical Poulan built saws?

Yes, correct.

We just had a 2.0 earthquake. It was loud and shook the house. Thought something blew up.

Several years back had a quake rumble house here. At first thought a plane had come down into side of mountain. Ran for front door with everything rattling in house & as got to front door the sound rumbled right on by house like herd of horses & that was it. Maybe I should say it sounded like a herd of Poulan 5200’s being fired up...so I don’t derail this thread to bad.

We don't get them that much, once out of a blue moon. But this one was fast like something blew up.

We had something like that a week or so ago, but it actually was something blowing up. Somebody blew up a house about 5 miles from us. Apparently somebody was a bit upset.
Ok, back on track here. Spotted some super 25s and a couple of 245s. Also a couple of 3400s with bows. Not sure if they could be bought. Was talking to the son. Dad wasnt there, and he had say on the Poulans.

 

[S Sidwell]

Mm, might have a problem prying those Poulans from the dad's hands.

Yep, saw one of them " rebadged Poulans" today. One of the 1976 Bicentinial ones. Want to see if the owner wants to sell, my late brother was born in 1976.

Oh, that is so minty it'll make your eyes water! Really nice! It would be SOOOOO hard for me to not put mix and oil in it though.....

 

[S Sidwell]

It's only eye candy, meant to be looked at but not touched.

Although I would have to take the handle off and buff it out til it shined like chrome.

 

[S Sidwell]

I wouldn't let earl see it either, he might swipe it

Got a call last night to dig for some of my NOS parts.
Here you go. Poulan 380 3750 3450 330 pulley and a HDA-137 carb.
Plus the 3450 I was using on the hill clearing logging road few months ago.

 

[Cut4fun]

Pulling some more parts for a guy that has had his saw setting 10 years. This should do it for him. Already sold him a tank and handle and seen video of it running.

Pic of NLA hard to find for sale rubber upper right av he was wanting due to putting it back the way it was bought. Pulled it from one of my projects as I am going the coil spring updated ones route.

 

[Cut4fun]

There is a guy selling a ton of poulan nos parts in the CRG. Bow parts etc etc etc.

Thought of a few of you since you like to restore with decals.

 

[Cut4fun]

Got a couple of boxes of NOS poulan cylinders and pistons yesterday. Some I recognize the numbers. Some I am going to have to figure out wth they are. Seen 1 coil too.

One I think is a nos 335 c and the piston says 335 but it isnt thin ring. So might be a the 335 predator single ring piston.
Seen a nos 295 c and p with lower clam. Think couple of pioneer nos pistons too. Others no clue.
Some weedwacker stuff. No interest in those whatsoever.

 

[Cut4fun]

Now to see if I was right on some and what the heck some are. Got all the #'s to search.
