The only other rebadged saw that I haveseen at sears was a long long
time ago and it was made by McCullouch. SAince that time frame I hafve
yet to see any saws with a Crapsman label that was not a relabeled
Poulan brand......Stihl or Husky is not and hsa never been rebadged as
a Crapsman.....Husky may own Poulan but certainly does not relabel
Husky saws......

If its a 3400 or 3700 that saw is probably well over 20+ years of age.
I have had both of those saws and I will say they are not of the
typical Poulan quality.They were a super good saw, a bit heavy but
mine worked like a champ and never left me down.........and were
usually used hard and put up wet all their life. The 3400 model was
used hard for over 20 years........and all it cost me was chains and
bars.........the 3700 was about the same way except it cost me a carb
rebuilid.

Ive got a pretty decent Craftsman marked chainsaw thats now needing a
bit of maint. Chain seems to have stretched a bit as I cant tighten it
up anymore..running out of adjustment slot on the bar, and is pretty
badly worn after years of sharpening, the Windsor sprocket nosed bar
is getting tired (two piece nose) etc

I was told it was a Husky..then told it was a Sthil..but when I went
did some web searching..it appears that it May...May be a Poulan..but
maybe not.

3.7/18"
Model Number 358.3548301
Serial # 1201-2250

The 358 prefixx comes up as a Poulan..and more research may indicate
its a Poulan 3400 or 3700..but then on some cites it indicates those
may be either made BY or FOR Husky. Or something else entirely.

Im rather confused by all this. Id of course rather buy the bits
(chain adjuster) and filters etc online from the discount sites.

Sometime in the past..either I or the previous owner swapped the 18"
bar for a longer one. Ive had it for at least 20 years along with one
of the small common red 2.2 Craftsman/Poulans you can use one handed
(not safely)

How is the bar measured? The Windsor bar I have doesnt have a size
numbering system on it that I can id.

Any assistance would be appreciated. I know there are a number of
small engine etc guys here who may know.

Im gonna need a new chain also..and perhaps a shorter bar, though I
can live with the longer one I have, though its getting a bit worn in
the groove. I only use them a couple times a year..but when I need
em..I really need em.

Any suggestions on the type of chain to buy, for cutting telephone
poles, 6x6s and the odd stump or two?

This saw still runs marvelously well, even after 6-9 months of storage
( I alwas put in some Stabil before putting it up) and I make a point
of fireing all my gas equipment up at least once, if not twice a year.

Thanks

Now why doesn't this surprise me one bit?

That's easy.... you're too dull witted to be capable of surprise. What
little synaptic ability you do possess is stretched to the limit with
life support. If you diverted power to the critical thought processors
you'd asphyxiate in a matter of minutes.
