Pioneer chainsaws

[pioneerguy600]

This just got listed on ebay w/ a 49.99 BIN it is a NU-17?

That saw has been listed for months and has not been bought , its in hard condition, the exterior covers are damaged, broken and parts missing. Better to get one needing less parts as they are hard to find for that model of saw. You may be ok if you already have one of them and only need some parts from it.

I might pay the $50 for it if I lived in Van and could hop the border to Seattle to pick it up, but it's not worth the $60+ it would cost to get it to me.

Those NU 17`s can get to be a bit pricy, like mine did if you have to source out all NOS internal parts, even some of the covers were NOS. Made the whole rebuild a challenge though.

Anyone here have any interest in a P20. Its old and it stinks but it starts and runs.

1073 Scream

I put almost 2 tanks of fuel through my recently resurrected 1073 yesterday. I stopped using it because it started making a high pitch squeel. Loudest on the clutch side...Any ideas?

New addition P21

New freebie came along today..... Complete, runs and no broken parts that I can see.

I have one question about these small pioneer saws...... WHY is the handle so close to the powerhead? My knuckles get burned/ chaffed against the powerhead while using these.

Take the bar and chain off and run it that way,does the noise stop?

The saw pictured in the top photo is a model 600, they have the cast dual outlet muffler and a more rectangular top cover, the tree emblem on top should be completely green. If it is outlined in green then it is a model 610

No it still makes the noise with the bar and chain off.

No it still makes the noise with the bar and chain off.

Can you see if the clutch shoes are free from dragging on the clutch drum. It most likely is the bearings as the clutch is free to spin with the chain off but clutch shoes dragging on the drum caused by a broken spring can also squeal. Can`t think of anything else to cause a engine to squeal.

clutch shoes are not touching drum, springs don't appear broken.

1073 squeal

Do you have the big washer installed beneath the clutch? Have you checked the crank bearings?
