I saw one of those tunnel rams with 2 fours at a local flea market and that was the first thing that popped into my mind..double flower pot. They weren't cheap in their time either. They're cheaper now because of F.I.

I saw one of those tunnel rams with 2 fours at a local flea market and that was the first thing that popped into my mind..double flower pot. They weren't cheap in their time either. They're cheaper now because of F.I.
Last weekend I decided to take Jerry's advice and swapped the coil to the P51. I also had to make a spacer as one cylinder stud for the coil was broken off. First time I ran a Pioneer this big and I was pretty surprized by its power....not bad at all
So now I understand why some of you like these models so much...
I am now left with a P60 needing a new coil and piston..... it looks as if the cylinder will clean up nicely after some light work.

Belgian, I think I have the parts you need... send me a PM. Nice P51, one of my favorites!

Finally got a video of the p62 cutting. Man you can lean on these saws before they start to bog down.

Parts for these saws are getting harder to source out, I had a couple of leads but they have not panned out. Coils and pistons are about the hardest to find, hope Brendon can help out. The 51 and 52 are nice power units but the 60,62 and 655 are real torque machines and don`t weigh much more than the 50 series.

Nice saw. What size sprocket are you running?
Try an 8 on it, I think you will like it.
I think I'll do that tomorrow. I might make another video too. It depends on what time I get back from the baby's dr appointment with her shots.

i dont know bout where yur at but up here partners are really easy to find and so are pioneers if you look in the right places. my boss has an old wright chainsaw but i dont think hell give that up easily. the only draw back to what i got today is that i had to dig them out of an old chicken coop i think it was and there just covered in saw dust and everything but the 450 is surprisingly clean but seized it think

Well,I have not seen any Pseries advertising like that before! Ebay has some advertising stuff once in awhile.Usually from advertising sellers and poster sellers,manual sellers,those types of sellers.I have a few things collected so far.
