Here are a couple of my 5200





Gregg,

nice saw!

Is this the bar they are currently seeling on ebay, quite cheap?
I am wondering if this is a reprint, since it is also available as "Sachs-Dolmar"
If so, do you know what the base is? Is it an Oregon or sth else?

best Chris

I'm not sure which bars you are referring to on ebay.  The bar on my 5200 in the pic, is a new old stock Poulan branded bar made by Windsor back in the day, for Poulan. A Windsor Speed Tip bar is what it is, can't recall the model style off hand. It wasn't cheap..but I guess wasn't bad either. I think I paid $77 plus shipping. I had to bid for it. I needed it though...LOL  to complete my 5200. Its what was a popular bar for them when they were new. Its a 30" .50 ga. 3/8". They also had a 32' & 36" I believe, but they were .404 pitch. 

These Windsor bars require the use of the "S-clip" that you put over the bar studs. The studs on the earlier Poulans were 5/16". Later, they changed to 3/8" studs.  A lot of the Poulan branded bars you see now days were for these later saws, and the Poulan Pro saws like the Pioneer based saws, like the 655 etc, or the Poulan 8500.

Gregg,
