Congrats on the new saw.I'm sure you will love it,they have lots of grunt for 66 cc's.I love mine it's set up with a v-stack and a K&N filter.

Where do you get the v stacks and filters for the p41?

You will need a husky 288 elbow, and chainsaw conservation corps on ebay has real nice v-stacks. They also have uni filters if you want to use a foam filter, if not you can pic out a K&N off there site under universal filters. For me personally the K&N has proven to be better than the foam filters.

Word, im gonna look into that

Back on page 526 is a pic of my p-52,and p-41 with v-stack and K&N filters.

So dad says the pioneer is really nice so maybe i better just leave it alone and not put all the go fast parts on it

 

[Boomer 87]

there she be what thinkist thee

It's a nice saw it should clean up real good. I would still consider a v-stack just so you can run a better filter on it.The stock filters are crap,lots of stuff gets thru them.

Its says p41H on the serial tag 1980 whats significant about the H ?

I grabbed an OEM set for a P655 last year. I measured them up and Tim (fossil) crossed them.

The 428746 is the large P series seal.

Use SKF 5606 double lip or National 472705 double lip Nitrile

Fits bore size 1.00 inch and shaft size 9/16"

 

[Boomer 87]

What do you recommend skf or national?

What do you recommend skf or national?

SKF's are pretty much what I have access to. At that, it is a 6 week wait. I cannot comment on how the OEM seals and the 5606's fit in comparison. I haven't swapped out the one's on my 41/50's yet, as they are both tight. I have them on hand, but it can wait. The 655 will have to wait a bit longer. The saw is the lowest hour saw I own, and I haven't mustered up the nerve to start taking it apart.

Two new to me saws.
