Re: Poulan 4200 5200 5400 8500 rear handle

Main difference is the increased length of the 2nd and 3rd generation tank/handle casting over the first generation saws.  Longer spacing between your hands, and more fuel capacity.  The 2nd/3rd gen tank/handle casting does also have that 'foot plate' extension on the bottom that he's talking about. 

He can swap a 2nd/3rd gen tank/handle onto his 4200/5200 so long as he also has the throttle link that goes with it (or makes one).  The 2nd/3rd gen saws have a longer throttle link to make up for the rearward position of the rear handle and trigger.

1st gen is 4200/5200.

2nd gen is 4400/4900/5400.

3rd gen is 6900/7700/8500.





Green 4900 (2nd gen) next to red Craftsman 5.2/Poulan 5200 (1st gen).  Funny how the camera/phone made the green 4900 look like it was Skil yellow in the last pic.  Same camera/phone for all three pics.  Different lighting I guess...
