Pioneer Saws

Those adds are really great. I never used a Pioneer saw until last year when I needed to cut a big oak down. Bought 2 on eBay, a P42 and a P51. Prior to that I had 2 18 inch craftsman saws and a 16 inch Homelite. I have not used them since the Pioneers came. When my P42 flywheel shattered last week, I had to break out the craftsman, it was like comparing a VW beetle to a Hummer. Thanks to Jacob J. I hope to have the P42 up and running next week. Pioneers are just awesome saws.

2270 primer

picked up a Pioneer 2270 a couple weekends ago, seems complete minus the bulb on the primer. Does anyone have one they'd like to part with? Can a new bulb be affixed? Any help would be appreciated, it's a really cool saw and I'd love to get it running.

Never seen one like that on any Pioneer chainsaw that came from the Peterborough factory. Must be some type of aftermarket affair. What you need is a OEM primer, they are hard enough to find replacement parts for.

Just buy a new plastic primer pump assemblies and make it work.

I've seen primer set-ups like that on older snowmobiles. My old Tundra has one that looks almost exactly the same.

Try stopping in at a snowmobile shop or check online. My guess is that someone swapped it.

I did a quick online search and that appears to be the part that goes on the inside of the machine. The primer button (not a bulb) just screws into that.

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350289784038&viewitem=">Here</a> is a similar set-up. I will keep looking around for a better pic.

Super Pioneer IEL DD

This one is for JJ.

I think this model came with many different gear ratios and this one must have one of the most reduced as you can almost count the teeth going around at WOT, but it does run great.

And if you look close you can see the Super Twin 52 on the floor in the background.

That DD is in great shape, what a great collection you guys have...

thanks for the pics!

(I especially like the uber-cool dawg it has...)

JJ it really runs well too!

We are getting there but we are going to need to add a building I think. I thought that dawg was pretty cool too.

Here's a coupl more Pioneer / IEL's we have...

We have a few more RA's and couple other IEL's but that's all I have with photo's right now.

Santa has a drop off policy around here only and no returns!

You are right about the shape and you are certainly welcome, glad I could share, the picture anyway!:greenchainsaw:

I gotta change the sig now, way too many saws to stick down there now.

One funny thing about those DD dogs, every one I've seen has the second tooth from the bottom welded on. I wonder what the reason is for that.

Artie you sure do have a keen eye, we were wondering similar thoughts about that tooth!

I repped you for your eye and gave you your first Nova, haha.
