    What do you think Husqvarna's best saw is?

    Model 1600 in .358 Norma Magnum:chainsaw::chainsaw: Oh saws! 2100 is the only Husky saw I ever wanted.

    I'd call that one a P38.

    Pioneer chainsaws

    I'll try to help out where I can, but between work, family & moving halfway across the country I'm going to be pretty much tied up for a couple months. I'll try to get a list put together of what I have here & we'll see how much is duplicated.

    Pioneer chainsaws

    I have 50+ Pioneer IPLs already in PDF format. These include some IEL, Pioneer/Partner, Poulan Pro, and Target ones. I'll have to try to make a list of them so no one has to go through the hassle of scanning them again. I also have paper versions of all saws from IEL model AB up to the P61...

    Poor man's compression test?

    For saws, just pick them up by the starter handle. If it has enough compression to hold itself up without the rope pulling out it's either seized or has great compression. Usually the saw will slowly 'chug' its way down the rope. If it drops quickly, put it back on the shelf and keep your...

    Here is JA. Sorry it's a bad pic, but it's the best I've got. And no it's not mine...:)

    441 or 460.... ?

    No problem, Sam. I too can't figure out why on some things people refuse to let the facts influence their judgment. And why we have to go through the same things again and again.

    Pioneer chainsaws

    I just have a hard time seeing the reason for making them that way, but there must be one. BTW, the DD was available with three different gear ratios: 3.2:1, 3.9:1, and 4.6:1. There should be a number stamped on top of the transmission housing that tells you the ratio. Now if only I could...

    441 or 460.... ?

    Relax Sam, I have a 441 and like it.:clap::clap: I also have an 044 and like it too. I definitely agree with you about the fuel thing, I had to check my fuel a couple times the first tank 'cause i couldn't believe i hadn't run out yet! Not being a "pro" I won't try to tell you which of the...

    One funny thing about those DD dogs, every one I've seen has the second tooth from the bottom welded on. I wonder what the reason is for that.

    441 or 460.... ?

    The only real answer is to try them yourself and form your own opinion. See which one feels best to you and has the features you prefer and that's probably the one you'll like the best. Powerwise the difference isn't significant to probably 90% of users, unless you're paid by the piece.

    Those old Remingtons are definitely contendors for World's Loudest Saw. I got one of those 660s too in real nice shape. Need to pull it out and see if it runs one day....

    Homemade Chainsaw Dynamometer

    If you're using a generator or alternator, an easy way to create load is to connect it to a set of electrodes and lower them into a vat of brine. The deeper you immerse the electrodes, the greater the load. This is how we tested the generators we repaired at tech school.

    Oregon Tech support is wrong. The D007 mount is for the larger P series, which had 3/8" bar studs, as opposed to the 5/16" on the p25. You could use the D007 on the smaller saws, but you need the spacer, kind of an S shaped clip that fits over the studs to make them equivalent to 3/8". It's...

    The big saws of the Pacific North West

    That's funny because I've always found the 090s start easier than the 125s. The saying here was the Macs would cut like everything if you could just get the thing to start!

    P62, I tap the mount studs loose with a small sharp chisel & hammer, then spin them out the rest of the way with a needlenose. They usually aren't that tight, one or two light taps will suffice. Just put the chisel right at the outside edge & tap it counterclockwise. PS What's that wheel off...

    Pioneer chainsaws

    Jerry I guess the "H" series was probably marketed more heavily on the East Coast as pulpwood saws & you probably saw more of them. I think they were a handier design than these "D" saws, even before the HM with the diaphragm carb. But to me the "D"s looked better. The Super Twins ran 3/4"...

    Pioneer chainsaws

    I'll try to answer all the questions in one post. Jerry, the DD had a number of differences from the DC preceding it. The easiest one to spot is, of course, the the colour. The clutch & transmission were new, the front handle was strengthened, and the oil pump was given more volume. The...
