Bar Identification

Can someone tell me what this bar is from? the numbers are:
470062
24-D
7-2

I found the bar when cleaning up at my father's. I was wondering if it was off the 620 Super he gave me.

Thanks,

E. C. Jones

Pioneer chainsaw bar # 470062 is a 24" standard hard nose bar that fits the 600 series chainsaws plus a number of other Pioneer chainsaws also. It sold for $ 20.10 CDN in 1966.

Thanks Jerry

Thanks Jerry. My dad is in his late 80's and his memory is failing. When I appropriated the 620, I asked him about the other bar and got a blank look that said it didn't register that he had another bar. I thought it was something else he dragged home until I looked at the chain and realized it was a .404, sharpened in his tell-tale way with not a single angle the same. I'll have to save it for posteritiy.

Hey you guys ever seen an old blue Ford chainsaw?
I have one. A buddy dropped by a couple years ago heading to the scraper. I told him dude you can't scrap that and give him a couple old truck rotors for weight.

Soon as I figure out how to make my pics smaller I'll post'em. She's a beauty. :computer:

finally got the 450 back together after some serious cleaning. new plug and fuel lines and bang started up after 6 pulls.

Those saws were fitted with an Orline model airplane engine and were given out by dealers to customers that bought Ford tractors or other Ford farming implements. The Orline saws are highly collectible and come in a couple of models. The Mustang , 129 and Midget are others that I have seen and handled, there are others as well. Maybe check Mike Acres site, he has most old chainsaws on there.

How is the fuel primer on your saw? They can be a problem with these saws.

Looks good. They are really kind of a neat old saw.

I have not found a method yet to make the diaphragm for these pumps. I am lucky in that I found some NOS ones from a couple of sources. I also bought out a old retired Pioneer dealers old stock many years ago that had some older stuff in the inventory.

Those primers can be frustrating. Mine is apart now, trying to fit an "O"ring into the pressure needle. Just can't find anything that small. Everything else appears to be good. I guess I won't know for sure till it's all back together.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Had some time today to do a little investigating into the latest RA that arrived this morning.It is in good condition for its age, it was a one owner saw with low run time on it. This is just the way I got it, no cleaning or any resto work started as of yet, just taking a look at what I have to work with.

Jerry,

Nice condition! Does it have the chrome Pioneer across the top? I can see that the green badge is there......

[pioneerguy600]

This is the only RA that I have that has the original model sticker on the fan housing, they come off easily and usually did not last very long.

Mine is definately going to have to sport the bigger felling dawgs! I just have the little one on there now. Think with a little time, I could fabricate one out of some scrape sheet metal I have laying around.
Great find Jerry. Really like the hardnose bar. Looks like it is in great shape. What plans do you have for the saw? Stay as is or full restore(paint)

The only thing missing is the nickle Pioneer logo on the cover, this one is headed for a complete strip down and restoration including paint. I will be shopping for a original Pioneer logo, the rest I already have in stock.
