Pioneer chainsaws

[Otis B Knotknocker]

Three more from the Pacific Northwest.
I worked with a guy named Mike in the 90s. We both ran Pioneers. Called him last week looking for parts and he didn't have any. He did have some chainsaws, but could not remember how many. I asked if he would like to peddle them and these are what he showed up with. Have cleaned them up some, it appears they were stored in the chicken house. All now running strong. Still need a little tinkering, some parts swapped, but here is how they are today.

I am an old log cutter from the Pacific Northwest. The first Pioneer I bought was the P60, and I continued to use Pioneer/Poulan until they were no longer sold in the states. I smashed them often using a roll cut shown to me by a Sawyer from New Mexico. While not the perfect saw the sheer power of them led some to think I was SUPERMAN! Not so. I am not a collector or "chainsaw dork", Saws are just tools of the trade.
All for sale, some run some might not, all turn over. Would think of them as parts saws - no guarantees.

I saw your pictures, what is happening on the parts saws, do you have any pricing on the different lots? Thanks Les

Does anyone know what size threads will fit into the flywheel for removal on. Farmsaw?

1/4 -20 course thread

Awesome thanks. I’m also looking for a reed block. I see that this one is cracked at the carburetor mount. Is there a place here to request specific parts?

Got a little bit more done tonight. Couldn't resist just sitting the covers on the saw to see what it'll look like when finished.



And yes I know I have a very messy work bench

 

[Beavers]

Could of swore that look like my work bench. Saw is coming along nicely.

Wanted to take off the clutch assembly on a Farmsaw. I have Two different style spanners that I use on Homelite but neither will fit the Pioneer.

Anyone know where I can find an appropriate spanner fit the Farmsaw.....or a hack that will work without destroying anything?

Clutch is spline. It should slide off the crank stub. I used a longer wrench the first time 'cause it wouldn't budge. Then the saw rolled over on the PTO side and the clutch fell off on its own. I just stared at it for a minute and swore at myself.

 

[xl130]

Haha! Wow I feel pretty stupid! You’re absolutely right. The darn thing slid off as easy as can be.

Thanks for info! No wonder I couldn’t find a clutch tool !!

Put together my NOS 750 the last couple days. It's probably 90% brand new anyway. Had to use a nice flywheel, rebuilt the primer, fuel bowl assembly and oil pump. Handlebar brackets and spacers are off a parts saw. Rear handle grip off same parts saw. I don't think the spike is new either.

Nice looking saw!

Nice looking saw!

Thanks. I have a soft spot for this series. Several 700Ds, 750s, and a 700G, 850, 1850 and 1770 are in my collection. It's interesting to see how Pioneer improved the cylinders throughout the series.

Another 750.

Those are a nice pair

Those are a nice pair

Thanks.

About the only feature my 750s lack that I'd love to get is the air cleaner with the high intake and screen.

l was aware of the Vectopac cyl base gasket upgrade to the aluminum gasket 427523. l have some 700 series and they came with the newer gasket .

Here are some pics of a 750. lt needs parts to complete though if l ever get around to it. The colour paint is ???????????

I am down to three complete parts saws that I may still rob some parts from. One without the id plate that looks to be a p60 with a weld on the lower back of the case frame. one p61 with a missing ear to attach the right rear rubber mount. One 655 with JB weld on the right side of the tank and on the front between the case halves. Also a welded repair on the left case. There is some interest in the 60 or 61, but I have no knowledge of value. There are no part lots, I have some good parts but am finding many broken or repaired ones.
These saws were parked over twenty years ago, and I am having to replace fuel lines and clean carbs to make others run. I believe all three would run, most issues are cosmetic, except maybe the JB weld. I also have several 60 series crankcases in varying degrees of despair. Otis.

Thanks for getting back to me, what about the picture in your previous post labeled Junk #3 a box of parts? Thanks Les
