Chainsaw Repair

I sure don't have a definitive answer for ya. But, I'm guessing by the style of decal on your parts 3400, that it was one of the very last of the 3400's. Like just before they did away with that model, and started with the gold & black Poulan Pro versions of these saws. Like the 375, 395 etc. From what I have seen, they generally have the harder, smooth rubber grips, along with black painted metal. I know my PP Super 380 has the same type of handle.
I personally like the older, thicker, soft foam grips. But they are more susceptible to damage. Would be interesting to know also, when Poulan switched the hand guards from being on the handle, to being on the top cover. I much prefer the later. Gives you a little more hand room for a slightly different grip at times.
