Help with saw ID

[Jerryv88]

I would appreciate it if some of the experts here could look at these pictures and tell me what model saw this is. I thought it might be a Pioneer because of the name on the bar, but all the similar pictures I have found show that name in the castings too. This one just has the OMC name on the s/n tag. My brother dropped it off a while back and I am trying to decide what to do with it. Seems to have really good compression, but I haven't tried to make it run.

Thanks
Jerry

Sure looks like a Pioneer 650 to me...

Wasn’t OMC the original Evinrude?

Or maybe a Pioneer 600?

The 600s have a different top cover, starter housing, clutch cover, and I believe they date from the time before OMC acquired Pioneer.

It could be a 6-10 but all of those I've seen were all yellow, and the 6-20s had the Copper-colored/Metallic brown top covers.

If you go to Chainsawcollectors corner you will get all the info you require. Look under chainsaws Pioneer it will show all the saws built by omc.IEL Canada was the original owners their models are shown under IEL.

OMC Outboard Marine Company was the parent company to Pioneer chainsaws.

Its a Pioneer 650, the 600, 610 had a different engine shroud, clutch cover, starter and muffler, the 620 and 620 super also had a different engine shroud.

Thank you!

I looked at the collectors corner as Kash suggested and the 650 they have pictured is exactly it. I see they were made from 1964 to 1976. I would have guessed it was a little older than that. At 16:1 they must make a lot of smoke. I will have to mix a little if I try to start it. Don't have anything else that uses that much oil.

Looks like a pretty nice example you have there.
