I think Tim has one and maybe Nik.
Anyone tell us more on these Canadian poulan 3400 xp? Are they
61cc or 65cc etc?
This one is for sale for $75 as I type. ;) Poulan Pro 3400 XP

was 64cc.

There's not much info available on any of the Canadian versions
that I've been able to find except maybe a few on Acres site. I
contacted the guy in North Bay who is selling that saw but he
wouldn't ship the saw. It's an 8 hour return drive to North Bay
for me so I passed on it. I doesn't look to be in the greatest
shape.
They were definitely 4000 top end saws with a 3400 / 3700 filter
set up. I suspect they had the vented air filter cover as they
were commonly used on the
Poulan model 3400's up here. Both my Poulan 3400's have the 3700
vented cover. The Craftsman ones do not.
I also have two 3400's with 3700 top ends on them. The labels on
the recoils identify them as 3400, 61 cm so they were built that
way.
The XP is definitely one I want to add to my collection.
The Ontario Poulan distributor who is located in North Bay and
has been there since the 70's said there were a lot of 3400 XP's
sold. That's the only one I've seen come up for sale.
It figures that I have a 4200 and a 5200 which are very rare up
here as very few were sold in Ontario but I can't find one of
the 3400 XP's. The large frame saws came complete out of the US.
I wonder if Husky knows that Poulan use to XP designation
before they did.
The Poulan Canada office was located in Markham Ontario. I
believe that was a home office as the address and postal code
show that as a residential area but the area has changed a lot
since then.
The saws themselves were assembled at the Skil plant in Toronto
which no longer exists in that location. That type of assembly
outsourcing was very common up here in the '70's and '80's

Great info Tim. BTW.....................Homelite used the XP
designation (meaning "X-tra power") first with the XP-1000/1100
100cc saws (evolutions of the C-series) in 1965.

The European manufactures seem to have ignored the NA saw
manufactures when making 'firsts' claims (in the timelines
contained in brochures/catalogs and websites) and using model
#'s and such...............but that's another thread...8)

Ok. I see it also has the black air filter cover, cylinder
cover, and black bar. It is all 4000.
I like the little decals for gas and oil. Do not remember
seeing those on any counter vibe saws before.
