Chainsaw Repair

So is there any reason why this cover could not be used on a Poulan 505 other than it being red?

No reason at all, I bought it for my poulans.      Thats why I showed it,  so we could be on the hunt for metal ones 1st and plastic 2nd. 

Someday mine will be yellow with a homemade decal put on it.

My 2nd metal jonsered 2077 2083 clutch cover. I had to pay dearly to buy this one.  Cost me $92 shipped  .
Then pack up and ship overseas for a collector with a like new jonsered with  craccked plastic cover. 

But he has been a very good customer over on my chainsaw repair group facebook,  I offered to buy it and take care of shipping to him.  Which cost of shipping to him on small packages is crazy high too.

Then some other jonsered 2077 used parts I pulled for a guy for a rebuild. Recoul old style and a nice top cover.
