Almost... NOS Pioneer P62 HP - PIC HEAVY -

I have been slowly collecting NOS Pioneer parts. I had enough to build a Pioneer/Partner P62 HP. I just needed oem case halves. A while back I got a P62 HP from a member here. It ran but was scored, which he told me it was. I stripped it down, blasted the case halves, primed it with self etching primer and shot it with 9 coats of 2 part urethane paint and 6 coats of catalyzed urethane clear. I replaced everything with NOS parts, basically all I used was the case halves and carb. Everything on the saw is oem except for the chain and fuel line. It has all new bearings/seals and gaskets. I put the oem K&N air filter on it which filters better than the other style. I put a set of Boyesen 2 stage reeds in it. I also ported it. The only thing I'm still waiting on is the nos rear hand guard, which is in route from Canada along with a nos 655bp jug, piston and rings that I may install on it.

This is a pic of the cylinder before porting. I did not go crazy on it.


These are after porting.

Here is a pic of the Boyesen 2 stage reeds. You can see the difference from the metal oem one on the right. They are made from some kind of poly material.

WOW!!! That saw looks new!! Great find.

Absolutely beautiful work! An awesome looking saw to boot! Are you going to actually cut wood with it?

Thanks Brad... Yea, I'm going to use it. I have others that are more valuable/rare to me. I have a straight Pioneer P62 Western and a P50 which I inherited that I will do the same way with nos parts. These two will be shelf queens. This saw is too much fun not to use. I will still try not to scratch it though. lol

Extremely impressive!

Thanks for sharing the pics.

Nice lookn' saw

can i have it?

<---------------- Jealous


Beautiful work!

I will try to get a video of it in some wood in the next couple days. The heat index here is about 106 and no breeze!

:jawdrop:Awesome job on the rebuild!

Really nice job.

Very nice Ed. I hope that tractor tire doesnt fall over and scuff that perty paint.

That saw would be a shelf queen if it was mine .

Amazing!!!:jawdrop: I would use want to use it too, but it would get a good cleaning afterward!
