Thanks for noticing...it's new. Had the local steel center bend up 14g galvanized to a drawing, and cantilevered resulting bench off basement wall, using 2 x 3 lumber and plywood frame. 30" x 60" with 4" backsplash; 5" vice. I really like the cantilevered approach; keeps floor clear. I'm...

Wonderful photo; yours! (I've never actually seen another P51 in person. Yours has flat? (vs round) chain brake handle, and a rear exit? muffler? Beautiful, high-end chain bar as well!) I'd like to find hand guard and fan cover before using the old Pioneer. Fresh NOS rings, reed valve, etc...

Many thanks, Mike I have a P51, rescued from a collapsed barn, with chain brake and 3/8 NF bar studs. I believe it is an early 80's ? model (m/n 492243 s/n 336344938) My delight while refurbishing this lovely old saw was redoubled upon finding David Lee's wonderful "Chainsaws" book, which...

Pioneer HM: Operator's Manual; IPL (Many Thanks!)

P51 Blower Housing... I'm looking for a P51 blower (AKA starter) housing. I believe the pn is 474639 (or 474586 for the complete assembly). Are there other Pioneer model covers which will fit? Other part numbers which cross to a P51 cover?? (I see others on ebay which look like mine in the...

Correction (mistyped 455 sn; sorry): - Data Plate: "PRO 455" "925 0267"

More on the "Polan 6500": - Data Plate: "PRO 455" "538 515723" - (also a parts saw data plate "PP 39CB" "538 515723"). I believe this may be a Partner/Pioneer P39?

Appreciate the good info, Western! Heard back from the CL seller - v nice fellow - bought the Poulan 455? ($250) and a Poulan 4000 ($200) both new after Hurricane Hugo (Sept 1989) came through and knocked down 75 trees on their 60 acres. His wife just bought him a pair of new Stihls for...

Thanks Western As you can see in the CL ad, this thing is a Polan (not a Poulan) ; ) Polans are made in Canada by Pioneer Anyhow, you and Beavers are way ahead of novices like me. - The cylinder Beavers shows looks like it has a boost port? - Can you gurus tell whether saw is a good one by...

Thanks, Beavers. Good point. I sent the CL seller a note with my ph number. Will have him check if I hear back...

Here's the "Polan 6500" CL ad: https://hickory.craigslist.org/grd/d/fallston-polan-6500/7045590724.html

Green is mean! (Another beautiful restoration. Compliments!)

Thanks I did some more noodling, and believe it may actually be a Poulan 455? Looks a bit like Poulan/Partner P45? Compared to pics of the Pioneer P41/P42, the lower handle is broader (acts as a hand guard?) where it approaches the cylinder shroud, and the blower housing has molded intake...

Is a "Poulan 6500" related to the Pioneer P61, Partner? P62, Poulan 655? I've been casually looking for a P61, and came across a local ad for a "Poulan 6500". Looks rough in pics, and maybe only slightly related to Pioneer. Blower housing, handle, brake, etc way different I googled and found the...

"After looking through David Lee's book (mostly chronicles Mike Acres saws) ..." This reminded me that I ordered (and paid for) the David Lee book about 7 weeks ago, via Amazon. Just went and checked - order status still: "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date" Anyone know...

Beautiful shop you have there, Mark! And, all those wonderful old Pioneers - heavenly....

Beautiful Eldorado, Rocket! My old Ambo is in a dusty corner. I will take some "before" pics and post 'em. I have assembled an old Wixom touring kit (fairing, bags, trunk) for it and look forward to some vintage touring
