This is my IEL model RA from 1957 and it is the last of the IEL models that were made using the sand cast method,all metal construction. The next models were the 600 series and they are die cast. Some say they are die cast RA`s but there were a lot of improvements made to the 600 although they look similar. This saw is an excellent runner and will start and run A1 ,I cut with it at least once a month.

Do you think these saws could be used for milling? Could you get a ripping chain for this . I'm new to this stuff but it would seem to me that that's a lot of cc's for what you would pay for something like that. Maybe I'm missing something?

I don`t know of anyone that runs one of these vintage saws for milling, they are on the heavy side but have gobs of torque but are slow revving. Ripping chains would not be hard to find in 404 pitch which most of these saws were originally fitted with and clutch drums with 3/8"drive sprockets are available so 3/8 chain can be used on them also. When milling, sprocket or roller tip bars are preferred and the older saws came with solid nose bars so a replacement bar would also be of a benefit.

Thanks,
So do you think it would be a problem finding a 3/8 sprocket and say a 30 inch roller tip bar in that mount. Also do these older saw run ok horizontal for long periods of time. How is the tank vented?
Hi guys, I just listed a few Pioneer odds-and-ends on fleabay if you are interested. Lots of small parts for the older saws.
