Chainsaws

Claude Casper Poulan of Monroe Luisiana was the founder of Poulan Chain Saws. He was the inventor of bow guide.

In the year 1944, when Poulan was supervising German prisoners who cutting pulp wood in East Texas, that the this task required three men, two to operate the chainsaw, and a third to operate a pry pole, utilized to keep the chain from binding as it cut through the trees. Poulan made use of an old truck fender and then fashioned it into a curved piece to guide the chain. The "bow guide" allowed the chainsaw to be utilized by a single operator and this quickly revolutionized the booming, in the wood cutting industry.

Poulan Chain Saws was established in Shreveport Lousiana in 1946 where they produced chainsaws utilizing existing engines that were purchased mainly from other manufacturers. In the year 1951, Poulan began production of its chainsaws that were internally developed and manufactured.

The company is now owned by the Electrolux Company and it is currently the largest manufacturer of chainsaws in the world. When it comes to purchase of the Poulan chainsaw parts there are certain things that need to be considered. If you want you can get them from your local DIY or hardware store. If you need some parts to be purchased urgently then you can search and purchase the same from an online store. There are hundreds of stores available on the web through which you can purchase the parts online. When you go for purchase through online you will find that the prize will be much better than purchasing it from your local dealer. This is because there is no other over head costs incurred in this. Moreover if you order through your local DIY or hardware store then you will have to wait for it being ordered and delivered.

If you need some part for your chainsaw very urgently then it is better to purchase it through the online store. However if your chainsaw parts are still within the warranty period then it is all the more better to exchange the parts through the manufacturer or the dealer from whom you had purchased your chainsaw. This is the better options than going for purchase of the same through the online shops. Always check your warranty before making your decision. If going online then do a comparative study of the shops online and choose the shop to purchase your parts.
