I bet you are correct but I have never had them all out at one time, just too big of a job for one day.I still have a dozen or more in their boxes than I have yet to unpack or even see. Hope to in time get more of them cleaned up and pics taken. The big Solo is now my milling saw, its cut thousands of feet of spruce, pine and hemlock planks.Basher I never knew you were such a sawwhore’der
There must be a saw for every single day of the year
wow. ...
My hard working 066 used mostly on clearing building lots of big old shade trees, nasty work compared to logging.

The, semi Precious,
The vertical cylinder is supposed to be better for compactness of the body, possibly better for airflow around the cooling fins plus the newer saws run with higher RPM that equals more heat generated. By arranging the cylinder in a more vertical position the rear handle could be isolated from the chassis, the separate fuel tank and a rubber mounted carb really helped with preventing the fuel from boiling and thus less chance of vapor locking the engine. With the front mounted muffler more heat could be shielded from the crankcase, really helps when a saw is run in a hot climate.Why don't manufacturers use this engine orientation? Everything new, aside from top handle saws, looks to be pretty much the same.
Thanks, it took a few years.Man I just love them see through glass fuel filters on the big bottomed Pioneers. I want one just for that alone! Very nice saws Basher, you have clearly put in the hard yards.
School me, why do most have the decomp button?
