Pioneer chainsaws

[Squareground3691]

New to AS.

Bought an old hermit's property and found this old P20. The old man was not a small-engine maintainer so a lot of 'dead' pile had fairly simple problems. This P20 had a cracked fuel pickup line and was sucking air. Put in a new line, cleaned out the fuel tank, and it fired right up on the first pull, ran solid on the second pull and chewed through a decent sized Aspen like nobody's business.

I'm new to Pioneer and I'm hoping this P20 isn't the gateway saw to a new hobby. My daily driver is an MS362 but this little P20 is so light, I can see myself picking it up first for smaller trees, delimbing, bucking.

Welcome to the world of Pioneer madness, if one is not enough 45 -50is not either as my collection has never really stopped growing ,it has just slowed somewhat. The paint on the Pioneers is self destructing and take good care of that green plastic airfilter cover,they break really easily and are difficult to find replacements or repair easily.

That looks to be an original Pioneer chain on the saw, notice the "rooster tail" guard links. I wish I could remember a few of the names for the different Pioneer chains they offered.
