Pioneer chainsaws

[Walter Glover]

Thanks fellas.
Rocker, Brendon (propliner) has clutch parts. Definitely slipping. Ally on steel seems a poor idea for a clutch. Hope to try fiber for better grab.
Nice pair of saws there!
Cheers
Walter

Pioneer Twin



I bought this Pioneer Twin a couple of years ago. Looking forward to having it at our local steam show.
The saw has had a tune up and some polishing. Maybe some tinkering as well

That is gorgeous Jeff. Which model?

 

[P62]

It's the first year Twin. Model PT. It has the same cylinders as an AB. Most were sent back and refitted with larger pistons and cylinders. They also restamped the serial plates on those saws.

Hey Jeff - coming to Baraboo again this year?

I ran a really sweet P62 at the PNW GTG last month, very impressive saw.

Mark The P62 saws area favourite of mine. They really lug down nice in big wood. The Pro 655BP is a full step ahead.
Baraboo is a great show and I would like to attend. Might be a year or two before I get back. Will need two full days at the show next time.

Thanks fellows, The saw looks great, but the real thanks goes to Huck, he has put a lot of hard work and long hours into this one.

You and Joe have a great time at the steam show. I'm guessing you're both taking a few old saws up.

Do you fellas have thee markings on your P52 . This Saw was Peterborough made prior to moving to Huron Park.

Newby type question regarding my Pioneer 11-60 Auto. I have had no luck trying to find .404 x .050 chain so am looking at converting to 3/8 x .050. Please excuse my ignorance if I use the wrong names for the parts! The clutch unit housing has a 7 spline outer hub that carries a sprocket that drives the chain. This looks very similar to pictures I have seen of modern saws parts which I am hoping parts exist which will allow me to change to 3/8 pitch.

The sprocket has The Pioneer name on the outer rim so I am lead to believe is is origional to this saw but since I have no history on it perhaps it is a modification? I have misplaced the part catalog I picked up a year or so ago so am being more disjointed than normal.

Thanks for any comment or guidance anyone can offer.

There is an Oregon drum and rim kit that will enable the conversion...., $14 ~ $15. I don't believe there is a rim only solution from Oregon due to the larger splines on the Pioneer drum. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about that. You may be able to find a 3/8 Pioneer rim, but the Oregon solution will provide you the flexibility to switch pitch more easily if desired. Also don't forget to consider the bar nose sprocket pitch unless you're using a hardnose bar.

The serial # is the Same on both places.

Pogo, yes I have a hardnose bar at present. It is a Pioneer bar with the Brand printed on it which looks nice but I would consider a roller bar if I can find one.

Beavers, I am not finding those numbers in my search, are they Oregon p/n's ? Sorry I don't click on the term spur sprocket so can't answer.

Those are Pioneer numbers, from ipls, it is possible they have sub to other numbers, The term Spur or brazed assy refers to non splined rim type.
