Seriously though, what are you going to do with it? Where are you in the interior?

Kamloops.
Not sure what to do with it, haven't even tried starting it.

Sounds like a good option! opcorn:

Those old Pioneers are worth restoring if that's your hobby, they have some unique characteristics.

Fix it or not, don't dump it!!! Find someone that wants it if you must!! There is too much history there, and those old saws are becoming scarce!! I've got my old Mall, nothing like that, but it hangs from the ceiling. I'll probably never fix it, and no it's not for sale, but you can't find them anymore and the stories it could tell!!
Man that is just pure history there, it deserves more respect than a ride to the dumpster!!

What kind of comment was that????
You the type that would crush a '69 camero cause it doesn't have enough plastic on it??

First of all it's spelled Camaro. (Unless you are talking about photography) Next, yes, I would sell it or crush it. I drive a 2007 Lexus sportscar and 2005 Nissan 4X4 (Frontier Nismo). I don't drive American vehicles anymore, they are junk. The last two I owned were very special though, 1972 Chevy 1/2 ton fleetside, 454 LS-7. 1987 Buick Grand National, 0-60 4.2 seconds, Gale-Banks turbo, water-air intercooler, too much to list on a saw forum.

So what does any of that have to do with telling a guy who posts a pic of an OLD hard to find saw that he MAY want to restore and post pics here for ALL of us to just dump it?

bigbadbob,
Thanks for the post, looks like a great find, Was it a freebie??

Holy run-on sentence Bat-man. That saw is an obsolete machine. If he wishes to restore it for nostalgic purposes, fly at it. I think he posted this thread in jest. Happy Sunday buddy

hey, all grammar aside, If it's a joke and going to the junk let others have a shot. Different strokes for different folks.

Cheers my fellow Canadian.

It won't go to junk. No decision yet of what I will do with it.
FWIW I paid $1 for it.
Posted for the interest of others, maybe junk to some and gold to others.
Will give me something to tinker with, as that is what I enjoy doing.
Life is to short to get cranked about the small stuff.:smoking:

Looks like all it needs is cleaning up some. Restore it and post the pics, I love old saws and would like to see it looking good again.

I also have a pioneer RA (missing top cover). Runs great and you can still get carb rebuild kits for it. It has lot's of torque and 5 hp I believe. Of course it does not run like a new saw, but it is a cheap way to pull a long bar if you need to.

don't listen to Simon.pretty cool old saws actually.

Nice saw!!
Interesting to see the 'Castrol' decal came with the saw.
I guess my starter handle is not stock.
Mine never came with the 'Bud' can either!!
