It's fine, but the p61 is actually stronger. It hasn't given the wow factor at all.

Save the trouble and send it north here.

LMAO I think not. One of these days I might end up with one. For now I will work on this one.

Nothing wrong with that thing. Beauty mike. Are they a thick ring? How’s compression ?

It's thin ring and just under 170 on compression. I could probably mess with it and be happy, but with the available 655bp top end it's hard to resist.

Wow. 170 is very strong.

Man, those are some good looking saws boys. I am down to a p41, 3270s and a couple parts saw (farmsaw and p26) getting old and don't use them much. Shame that I am on the other side of the country these days, not much interest in the old Pioneers here. Think I'll be selling what's left and I'll look in the box and see what I have for parts and let you know.

All these big saws put a fire under my butt to work on something . Forgive me it isnt a Pioneer . I started this project at 7:30 this morning with a box of parts . A slight 12 hrs later she is ready for fuel. Farmertec MS 660 with a 25" 3/8 . Loads of fun like a saw puzzle!

I did the 372 kit when it first came out. When something fails, I replace it with a oem part. I would say it's about 50/50 now lol. It's taken a pretty good beating though.

I put in a few stock parts . Thats what makes it a challenge . What is crap can be really fun with some prodding . I treat them as a saw that came in for repair .
