1771 with 36 inch bar

Picked this critter up today. Looking forward to fiddling around with it to see what it needs.

Damn! What it needs is to be in my possession. One of these days I'll see one of these saws in person.

Anyways, outstanding saw.

Chris and Tim.... Fantastic saws!

Very nice saw. They are very hard to find. Looks to be complete and in good condition. I believe my 1750 was an older model. Yours is the last of that model. Great find.

It's a P51F, and the seller met me halfway so we both drove an hour to meet up. He threw in the gallon of Husqvarna Bar Oil.

That saw is sweeter than sweet. Great find.
I'm extremely jealous.

Thanks Lee. I was pleased to find it. I haven't done much with it yet as I am fiddling around with the 041 (old points model).

I tried to fire the 1771 up but no luck. It does have good spark but it did have old gas in it so I'm hoping it doesn't need a carb kit as they may be as rare as hens teeth. I squirted a bit of gas in the spark plug hole but it didn't even burp.
I appears to be complete. A few of the fasteners have been replaced.
I see on Mike Acres site that the chain is a .400 pitch, Is that a misprint?

Carb kits can be had nowadays. Sugar Creek Supply is reproducing them. I used one so far, with good luck.

.400 is/was Pioneer's in-house chain pitch. A .404 or 3/8 sprocket should be easily had for it, but I have to believe .404 will work with a .400 sprocket. These are chainsaws, not space shuttle engines.

Thanks Chris I'll give them a try.

Good ol' P51 was my first Pioneer. Got it new 30 years ago and cut a LOT of timber with it. And I still use it.

Ed,
The first link was for the same saw, but the seller had it listed as a Poulan. The pictures he had in his ad made it unclear whether it was P50ish, or P60ish so I figured it was a win either way just a P60 would have paid a little better rate of satisfaction.......LOL!!!
I owe Aaron (eccentric) a big thanks, and probably some form of a reward, for giving me a "heads up" on this one.
It needs a good cleaning, and the chain needs some time with a file, but for the most part it appears all there. I think the guy I got it from may have used some water on it, as I got shocked pretty good when I touched the loose part of the recoil shroud while I was throttling the saw up.........:msp_confused: At some point I'll be looking for a 24-28" bar for it, but for now I'll just enjoy it.

 

[Arrowhead]

What size bar does it have now? The Husky D009 mount will work with a little modding.

Sorry, I'm more of a hugger.......... Besides I think there may be an opportunity for you on a certain blue saw, once I take possession of it.

Nut?


Chain Saw Bars

These have been listed a few times, I don't know any more than that. If you need help working out a deal, I have a gentleman I could recommend. He only requires a minimal fee.

Picked up a P41S with a full wrap on it today. Film at omigoditslate when I get home from work. Not bad shape, but feels low on comp and lower rear handle is chewed up.

Those are great saws. Enjoy it.

Quick question...

is the crankshaft supposed to move side to side (end play, not radial/bearing loose play) on an NU-17? I noticed that when I looked at it a little while ago.

I hope I didn't break something during the removal of the flywheel nut. (yeah, spun it tighter and tighter until it stripped the nut out due to being a newbie to the Pioneer saws, mentioned that in the thread eons ago)
