Title: Chrome Poulan 2555
Post by: Cut4fun . on October 17, 2013, 08:25:04 pm
Chrome small poulan.  Just want to save this pic.  Show stopper  ;) ;D

My bro had picked this up some years back from a guy that bought it for some ice storm clean up at their house.

It would seem that Poulan has a variety of finishes from camouflage to chrome. 

 Let me see how about a Pink Poulan for the ladies out there who cut wood.

Be harder for us to duplicate that chrome look.   ;D

I'm still thinking about a husqvarna orange 445 415 425 or 505 next. Just not sure.   :D

I like it.  No 'new Husky' silver clutch cover paint.  Wouldn't be the first saw 'rebranded' as a Husqvarna.  I saw a Husqvarn 23 (orange Micro with a chromed cylinder and a chainbrake). recently at my friend's house.  He was fixing it for someone.  Also have seen pictures of the Husky branded Frontier tophandles (35 IIRC).

I have one of those little Huskys in nice shape complete with working chain brake. It needs a carb kit but I'm not sure it's worth it.

If it's a Husky 23, then it's certainly worth the cost/time required to rebuild the carb.  Poulan Micro series saws are just about the ideal beater tractor/quad/truck/trunk saw.  The 23 is nice in that it has a chromed cylinder and a bare piston.  Of course the many thousands of Poulan 3400 and 'regular' Micro series saws with chromed pistons and bare bores all have an excellent reliability record.............................but I still prefer the chromed bore versions. 

That 'special' S25-CVA arrived safe and sound yesterday BTW.  It's in GREAT shape.  Also very clean.  Did you clean it up too?  Thanks a million my friend.  A long quest is at an end.  I owe you big time.

Hey Tim good to see you here.

Good to see a few familiar people here as well. I hope you didn't need that blower you were working on.
I'm definitely going to lose the beard I grew. I look like that whiney old guy on Gold Alaska that wrecks the equipment. The wife said it would be nice if I kept it until Christmas so the grandkids wouldn't be afraid of Santa.

Hiya Tim.  Look in my post above^^^.  That's where I'd mentioned receiving the red S25-CVA.  Couldn't remember what thread I'd posted it in..... ::)

I did clean it up some and drained the bar oil. I didn't want to send you a bunch of old saw cake.
I'm glad you like it. It appears to be a nice little saw.
