NOS never gassed Poulan 655BP........ My Holy Grail

[Chris J.]

Two 655BPs? You suck!

Maybe EX designates export? Fiik.

 

[SilverKing]

Would trade my first born for that one.Absolutely one of the best saw finds anybody has ever posted about.

 

[ChainsawmanXX]

Ed.... You are the man!!!!
I would love to see the rest of your saws!

 

[Eccentric]

Have you seen "EX" on other P-series Pioneeer/PP saws? Could it mean "Export" meaning sales outside of Canada? Other equipment manufacturers have use 'E' codes for 'Export' spec models (even when they were sold in the US).

Edit:

Looks like Chris was thinking the same thing as me. I had the reply box sitting for a while while I did other things. Posted after a good 10 minute wait....

 

[FATGUY]

no exaggeration, that actually made my heart race a little...

Very very nice, I would tuck them in at night.:msp_thumbup:

 

[Stihl-Pioneer]

That is a sweet saw for sure. Mine is definitely my holy grail. I'll have to look at mine and see if it is an EX as well.

 

[young]

so what the whole story? what parts did you have to get to complete the saw?

have to say they are one of the best looking saws ever made.

 

[Sapo_feo]

Those are great looking saws. This is one of the problems with this site. 10 minutes ago I had never seen a 655BP, now I need one.

 

[struggle]

The great thing about this site is everyone gets a chance to see one and know how mouch everyone appreciates these machines.

As much as I want one I am happy at least with my measely SP125 and Homie 2000 although if I should be lucky enough to come across one it will be mine:msp_biggrin:

 

[blsnelling]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! No reason to fuel that one up when you already have such a nice runner.

 

[DarkTimber]

Thats 2 great looking 655s even your user looks almost showroom new.

If you ever do come across one you had best hang onto it tight because once it hits a good size log it will drag you right up close and personal to it! :msp_wink:

 

[Modifiedmark]

Welll Ed, I for one am glad we finally got to see it. It has been so long I almost forgot about it. Well worth the wait, and am now waiting to see it in person!

 

[Busmech]

Best looking saw ever built IMO, I have one with a nos short block but some of the other parts aren't right, still looking tho.

 

[Bill G]

...........

.............Believe it of not, the last thing was the bar. .

I have a NOS 36" but I never knew you needed one

 

[Nardoo]

Great stuff Ed, thank you for posting those lovely pics. I hope you don't mind if I use one of the pictures for my new desktop back ground? I am kind of partial to those babies.

Al.

GREAT SAW ED!!!!! Tried to rep you but gotta spread some around. BTW, I'm guessing the EX stands for Electrolux, just guessing.

 

[SkippyKtm]

all i can say is freaking sweet ed,, i tried to rep you but they won't let me

Meh, it's OK, I guess :msp_sneaky: :msp_tongue:.

Patience is virtue, and yours paid off with a really nice saw !

EDIT--I can't yet rep you, need to spread it around.

What a saw Ed, What a saw. That thing is absolutly a
Holy Grail in my book. Out standing. I have a few NOS
saws myself and they are sweet to have but you always
want to gas em and run em.
Great job find the missing pieces. I'd of reped ya but out
of bullets.
