A while ago I purchased a Poulan 306a, I slowly converted it into a 245a and for the last step I repainted it using a custom oil paint. unfortunately there were a couple problems with this saws paint, it was the wrong color being slightly too green, and since it was oil paint i was able to run the saw as the paint would melt away.

thankfully, recently i came across a true early model poulan 245a on marketplace for $165 after shipping. i instantly bought it and when it arrived i noticed something. the chainsaw included a part that meant it was a 245SA (the original films was 245A the difference being either a semi automatic oiler, or automatic oiler) due to this ive decided to take the covers and put them on my 306a as the 306a had newer and better parts

will do! I unfortunately will have to pay for a full rebuild of the piston in order to retain the original yellow color but hopefully it’ll be worth it!
