PIONEER P?? HelpHelp

[briguy26]

Need help in identifying this Pioneer saw. I know it's not a p60 61 or 62. Tag on bottom is so worn it can't be seen. Possibly P42?? Need help from the experts on this site. I want to rebuild it. Thanks for the help

Pull the muffler and measure the bore, that will tell you if it is a 4X or 5X saw. A 6X saw will have a manual oiler unless someone has swapped the front handle.

Okay thank you sir!

What Guido said, many parts get interchanged/swapped around on these older saws and it is hard to tell an exact model from say a clutch cover or recoil cover as these parts will interchange with many other models. The bore diameter can narrow it down the best.

Thanks Pioneerguy, the hardest part about trying to get these old saws running is locating and finding the parts. My project list includes a Poulan pro 455, Pioneer p60f, pioneer/partner p39 and the mystery saw shown. I just sold another primo condition Poulan pro 455 on that joke of a site called ebay where they take half of your earnings out for FEE'S.

I feel your pain on finding parts. I was lucky that I started out so many years ago on picking up Pioneer saws and parts, there was still quite a bit around back then but lately the stuff has dried up considerably. Bryce Stott still has some Pioneer stuff over in Marysville Washington state, look up cheapchainsaw parts on ebay and you may find some stuff there, its best to call him as he seldom has everything listed in his eBay storefront.

I am guessing p41. Let's us know what you find out.

Since it does have the brake band capable clutch cover on it, then it could very well be a P41. I can`t see a decomp button sticking out the rear housing so it likely isn`t a P51.

I appreciate your help, I just wanted to be lazy and not have to take the whole saw apart. Was there a p42? If so what's the difference between it and the p41 is it just bore size?

Yes indeed pioneerguy I noticed no decomp on the back of the saw so likely not a 51

No decompression buton or manual oiler so...P-41?

Thank you nnero! I'm gonna tear it down and rebuild her back to running again. I have a bunch of Pioneer/Partner saws that need work so I'll be busy for the next year or so haha!

I may be wrong but that seems to make sense with what I've seen...
