NOS Pioneer Super 2400

[spike60]

Got an interesting saw for you Pioneer fans. Customer of mine had this thing for years and never used it. Still a virgin. I told him to let me know if he ever wanted to get rid of it. He shows up one day with the saw and his snowblower, and just wanted to trade the saw for a tune up on the snowblower. Yeah, that sounded pretty good to me! So, I guess this thing only cost me a quart of oil and a spark plug.

I will give you 3 qts and 2 plugs for it!!

 

[Saw Dr.]

Dang Spike! That is the second prize you've won this week. I need to move up there. All we have down here are worn out box-store saws.

Raising you... I'll give ya ten quarts and 4 plugs for it!! Don't give it to wse!!

Nice trade Spike.

Pioneer sure made a ton of different models in a short time didn't they?

Thats one I had never heard of yet. A 2400 yes but not a Super.

I say you done well. Pay no mind to Melvyn either, he won't send you Platinum plugs and synthetic oil like I will.

Oh yeah! I'll send Iridium plugs and Royal Purple racing oil.

Top that!

Gee, we just ordered a pallet of Kohler oil for Spring. Maybe I should have waited?

Actually, I will swap this for something at some point. This should be owned by a guy who's really into Pioneers. Can't think of any Huskys or Jonnys that I don't have. A real clean 254XP would interest me. An early Jonsered with heated grips. Who knows?

There's a story behind this saw. The guy I got it from, actually got it from his Dad, who was a longshoreman down in NYC. Thought he might need a saw, so it just followed him home from the docks one night. It was headed somewhere overseas, so it may be some kind of export model that wasn't sold here in North America

I was just joking, well mostly anyway. Your right, that thing belongs in a Pioneer lovers collection.

That's something you don't see every day. I would love to get that. Alas, nothing to trade....

I'm not a Pioneer guy, but that is one cool saw ! I'd have a hard time letting that go.
Can we see the bar (if it came with one) ?

 

[spike60]

I'd have a hard time letting that go.

I'm having a hard time not putting some gas in that thing to hear what it sounds like. (like you did with that Homelite 1050, but that was fun to hear it run.) But you're only a virgin once.

 

[Modifiedmark]

I'm with you, I would have a hard time keeping myself just seeing if it would even start after all those years. Hows the fuel line look through the fill hole?

I don't know enough about that saw to know if its really a special one or not. It's not in the box, has some shelf rash, so if a Pioneer guy ends up with it, I wouldn't think it would hurt any to go ahead and gas it up once.

Yeah, it spent all those years on a shelf in the guys garage. I did check for spark, and it's a good hot one. Looks like you could weld with it. I also suspect that most guys would want to know if it actually runs before doing any kind of deal. That's it Mark, the excuse I need to fuel it up and run it.

I'm thinking about cranking it up at one of our NYCSM GTG's; have a "sacrafice a virgin" ceremony. I suppose a 40 year old virgin ought be pretty eager for some wood.

Great find and waiting for the video just to hear it run !

Amen to that!! Make sure you make a video of it running and cutting too!

I never seen a Pioneer that color. Where does it say super on it? It may be some kind of import. Some of the other guys off the Pioneer thread may know, the P series are the ones I have some knowledge on. Great score whatever it is.

 

[pioneerguy600]

The dark green ones were for Export, or so I have been told, they had their regular light yellowish/green color for the North American market. The Super I have not seen or heard of but was a term many manufacturers used fairly loosely for marketing purposes mostly. Pioneer used the term when they changed the air filter on the 620, it became a 620 Super.
Any way you look at it that is a nice piece of Pioneer history, it was made to be used but there are a few that seek to preserve some of them in new or like new condition just to have them to show future generations. This is what your forefathers cut trees/wood with.

Bob, that is a nice looking saw. I checked Acres' site and they have no mention of a 2400 Super, but over on Magnus' site the only listed 2400 Super is up in Ontario. It is also all green in color.

Either way, it is amazing a saw has made it that long and not started.

I wonder if they are calling it a super, just based on color.
