nice job.
I had 3 spares. One had a beat up emblem. The rest were missing the pioneer letters and the emblems.took findin 4 ra's to get that top.
In 2014 I picked up this Pioneer 11-60 with a couple of Homelites I was after. It has sat since then. It looked like someone took an axe to the tank, the bearings were very loose and I almost pitched it. A friend gave me a couple of Holidays (same frame) and one has some issues and became a donor saw for the 11-60.
Not sure why I bothered to fix it up some as I'm guessing it's no hotrod or anything special. Still have to paint the black panel on the clutch cover, kit the carb make a couple of gaskets and install it and fix up the muffler bolts.
The carb primer has been set aside for now and this saw will have a choke.View attachment 603012 View attachment 603013 View attachment 603014 View attachment 603015 View attachment 603016 View attachment 603017 View attachment 603018
My paint prep on the saw was less than stellar. Pictures do lie.
This Pioneer version was sort of a pea soup color when new rather than the traditional yellow. The photo's show the color as it would have been I think but it's somewhat greener than it appears in the pics.
Looking forward to running it soon. New bearings, seals, fuel line, gaskets and the points cleaned up. It has great spark now.
After priming the 11-60 and pulling 6 times I realized the switch is forward on. Flipped it on and it fired up first pull. As for oiling. I better buy a case.
It's not too noisy.
My auto oilers not working yet but thank God for the manual oiler got her squirting good...
Hi Heath!
No pics. Cleaned up the mess though. A Stihl would be green with envy. Those old saws that called for motor oil really put the oil out.
