This one is a Bad Boy Tim Allen edition. This is the 2nd 3750 I have had, but this is the first TA edition on it. 1st one had a different style muffler, without the front deflector like this one does.

These saws run right with the stock 262xp's I had in the past and I tested one back to back with this one. 3750 was right on the heels in cut and 3750 feels to have just a slight torque disadvantage.

While out cutting firewood and switching from 262 and 3750 back and forth with another cutter, both of use using the saws preferred the 3750 feel and handling in our hands.

what is the 3750? poulan design? husky design?

Cut4fun_ · « **Reply #3 on:** March 04, 2011, 04:01:34 pm »

Poulan made as far as I can tell. basically a poulan pro 330 54cc with a big bore oem topend making it 60cc. open port cylinders.

MM might have more info on this poulan.

so p&c pretty much the same as my pp365?

Cut4fun_ · « **Reply #5 on:** March 04, 2011, 05:01:38 pm »

I cant answer that one, never been in a 365 poulan.

I do know the crankshafts are made in Sweden on them and the 60cc top end is made in Italy (girnolida) (cant remember the spelling, anyone ?) cylinder and piston kit.

I'm not completely sure if you could say that, they share the same piston but the cyl part # is different. Might be ported different or something else.

I know its the same as the Super 380. I also know the 3750/380 run a larger carb the the PP365. The 330 also runs the bigger carb.

I know my 330 will give my 365 a run for its money and I have a HDA 137 here to try on my 365 if I ever get around to it.

Its not surprising that a unbiased user would prefer the feel of the 3750 over the 262 either. I really enjoy this series of Poulan saws, they just feel right and have the best control layouts. A stock 262 won't put much morre wood in the truck either.

The first 3750 I had. It also placed at a chainsaw race at the fairgrounds here in ohio in the 0-65cc class. The Dolmar 6400's took the places in front of me from what I recall

1st one had just a hand guard and 2nd one has a chain brake.

I have been trying to get my early edition 3750 BadBoy 60cc back from a firewood cutter I traded it to a few years ago. He wont come off the saw when even offered bigger cc saws on trade

.

So I went looking for another early edition with hand guard instead of chain brake like my other later edition one.

Well I stumbled across one on it's last day that had been run with a bow bar

.

So how many of you poulan guys had bid me up on this one.

Modifiedmark · « **Reply #9 on:** October 31, 2011, 09:24:56 pm »

I seen it but didnt bid. I forgot too.

I forget what it ended up at but I think you did ok on it. I would kinda like to have one as well.

I have no doubt they run well.

Speaking of running well, I got a chance to look at that hot rod little PP330 that Randy sent to me to take to the Poulan GTG.

It was giving trouble when we tried it later in the bigger wood and wouldnt hold a tune.

Found it had a mushy impulse line. I checked the carb but didnt really find anything out of wack. I put a new impulse on it and decided that the original muffler deflector wasnt big enough so added a second cut in deflector on the other side.

Man does it run good now! Night and day difference. I was by myself and had no stop watch but man was it hauling through a 18" piece of oak. I got my ported 262XP out and I swear the 330 was running right with it and might even be ahead of it.

Its on its way back to Randy now and hopefully he will make a video of it. Man its loud now as well!!!

Mark I hope you seen that green 3000 that came down yesterday. It went real cheap.

I would have but I'm all tapped out with saw buying right now.

farmboy · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2011, 08:40:53 am »

I'm tapped too

or I would have bid on both. Been wanting to pick up some of these since I sold my PP305. Did get a 2800 cheap the other day. My saw money is going to be nonexistant for a while.

I have to get rid of some and finish about 20 in the project pile. Then let the buying commence.

Got to have some of these saws. PP305 was my first one of these. Pretty impressed with it just couldn't turn down a buck and a half. Only have emotional attachment for 1 saw (my Dad's 44 Husky).

Again, I seen it but kinda spaced it off. I think I had the opening bid on that one.

I have been looking for a super clean Green 3000 but that one was on the bubble as condition but I should have scooped it up for that.

Like Shep said I have been a little on the light side with saw funds right now as well.

I did make a trade for a newer super shape big saw mostly with the idea of it going to a local tree guy, but I have not heard back from him yet. If not it will be on the block to build the saw fund back up some.

Cut4fun · « **Reply #13 on:** November 07, 2011, 03:07:17 pm »

Mark be glad you didnt get that 3750. Totally misrepresented saw

. Not as described.

I'm tearing it down for a rebuild now as I am still going to keep it instead of sending it back. Crankcase had been grinded on to allow for the bow bar, not just the plastic bar cover. Piston and cylinder had some scoring with ring stuck. Plastic top cover was melted away all around the muffler. Thats just in the 2min look over out of the box.
Hope bearings and seals are good to go.

Cut4fun · « **Reply #14 on:** November 07, 2011, 08:24:36 pm »

Crank bearings check out and hopefully the seals are good to go. Will know soon enough.

It's a shame what some people will do to a good saw.

Cut4fun · « **Reply #16 on:** November 10, 2011, 07:38:41 pm »

Now that other 3750 is fighting back some. The cylinder cleaned up great not noticeable at all and the piston has some noticeable carbon type marks but nothing to hang a nail on at all, even used old ring, it was just stuck (carbon IMO). Holds 150psi cold.

Need carb kit being it's not pulling fuel and runs on mix squirted in carb.

Ran new fuel line and had to install a new impulse nipple in carb HDA ( because plastic part of nipple was broke off in line) from a 066 carb had laying around. Will run new impulse line when carb removed this time.

For the life of me I cant find the tank vent on this one.

Another day.

OhioGregg · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2011, 10:02:53 pm »

My memory is not real clear on the tank vent is on these. Been so long since I had my Super 380 apart. Be the same saw as the 3750. Its kinda hidden and on the left side as I recall. Like behind a plug or screw or something. LOL Not much help I know. As I recall, it will use the usual duckbill valve that Poulan uses on many of its saws.

Gregg,

OhioGregg · « **Reply #18 on:** November 10, 2011, 10:11:04 pm »

One other thing that might help. I think you have to seperate the tank/handle from the engine/crankcase section to get to it.

It is shown on the IPL's for both the 3450/3750 and 380.

Gregg,

Bingo Thanks for reminder. Left lower side in front of tank between crankcase.

Gregg got any pics of a super 380 to show? Never laid eyes on one.
