Pioneer Partner P39 thoughts

[Dave Mccarthy]

I just scored a really nice p39 from eBay. Was wondering if these were considered a good saw or just a larger consumer grade saw. I have never owned a Pioneer and was curious what thoughts here were on them.

Thanks!

WOW, you bought that P39? & live in the Netherlands? How much was shipping? Very nice saw, pro saw that started using more plastic then its early models

I did buy it, but I don't live in the Netherlands. I live in Newfoundland. An island off the East coast of Canada.

Here are a couple pics from the listing. I'm new here, so hopefully it works.

Brutal ($103USD). By the time I get this in hand I will be in to it for at least $425 Canadian. It's probably not worth that but I love the look of it (and it was built in Canada)

Anyone know what I would have to order to get an 18" bar on this old girl?

I believe the 18" bar was the most difficult length to find for these saws,even years back so I have adapted Husqvarna D009 bars to fit my P series saws. Only have to file out the bar slot just a little wider.

What about the 16 or 20 inch?

Oregon has a listing for a 16" bar, 168RNDD007 and a 20" bar, 208RNDD007. They are both 3/8" chain in .058 gauge., they also have a listing for a 20" bar with the cat number 208ATMD007. I suggest you call the closest Oregon dealer and see if these are still current bar numbers, I find Oregon is dropping bars for these older saws more often since they were bought out by Blout.

I have a 20" bar on my 61 Husqvarna that I may be able to modify to work. Thanks again!

Saw showed up and looks great! However its missing it's air filter element. Anyone know the part number or type or material I can use to make one?
Thanks!

Does your saw have the screen insert type filter, pn#474604 or the flat flocked type,pn # 475289.

I have no idea, and I am not familiar with Pioneer saws (Last one I used was a 1074 about 25 years ago). It has a rubber insert that the filter lays in. There wouldn't be a hole for a stud as there isn't one there.
EDIT: It should be the same as a Poulan 405 or 455 PN 507 475289

 

[pioneerguy600]

Should be the screen insert type then, 474604, same filter the P38,Farmsaw and Farmlite use.

I looked at that type on ebay and mine is different. Unless the one on ebay is the wrong picture.
Let me get a pic.

Should look like this one,
