IEL-Pioneer thread

[295 tramp]

Well no prefex I guess will just have to wing it.
Today I became a IEL- Pioneer owner so I'll start here.
I get a call from a gentleman replying to my add in the local paper.
He tells me he has a old pioneer and wondered if I would be interested in it.
He lives not to far so yea I'll come over to see what you got.
I walk into his shop and see a cylinder about the size of my contra on this saw.
OK I'm interested can you tell me something about the saw.
He goes on about his son had found this setting in the woods 40 years ago.
He told me he had cleaned it up some and got it to run and then it set on a self until today.
There is no top cover and no tags, not froze up and has compression.
I took it with me knowing this sucker had to be at least 100cc.
I get on Mike Acres looking at pioneer, looks like a "600" but no metal tags.
I Look at IEL turns out to be a" RA" the Tag must have been a glue on because no rivet holes.
Any way Enough Gabbing.

Alright IEL PIONEER RA 1957,58 sand cast 103 cc one of my favorite saws looks like your missing the cylinder shroud and top cover. Fun saw with a cool sound coming out of that duel snort exhaust.

 

[295 tramp]

Yeah that muffler and cylinder size was what caught my eye when I first seen it.
I lubed up the starter and put some mix at the plug and got it to pop.
So there is hope.
Fantastic looking saw.
Is the kick stand for starting or standing?
What are the paint colors?
Perry I can't keep my eyes off her, she's gorgeous.

 

[Pioneer Perry]

Thanks Tramp, kick stand is for starting.
Factory color varied quite a bit, I think I used duplicolor light yellow.
Your serial number should be stamped next to the dawns on the case.

I like the look of the vintage Pioneers.

10 of mine. all runners, ex last 2, far right.
for those curious, they are 1074, p40, p41, p61, 650, 600, ra, 750, hc. 450 on bench. there might be a few more here...

 

[rocketnorton]

couple more...

 

[295 tramp]

I wish I was closer I'd drop by for a common cup.

 

[Pioneer Perry]

Is that 750 bigger than a 700 or just newer? I have a 700 to go through big saw 107cc I believe.

I love the 600, 650 my favorite saws aesthetically ever, I will own a primo restored 650 someday

so sexy!!!
despite the original colors being kinda blah and boring they just look right on the 650

 

[Pioneer Perry]

Pioneer 620 super 1962 is a handsome looking saw .

 

[Definitive Dave]

the 620 and 650 are much nicer looking than the 600 in my book, there is also a 610 and 630 right?

 

[Pioneer Perry]

No 630 or 640, straight to 650.
There's the 620 and 620 super.
But I want them all !....Perry
