But yes 600 and 610.

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

the paint was faded to white on one side. I prefer original if there's much left. that & a ra are the only ones I ever repainted. top cover in pic is b4.
my p40 should be yellow, tho...

Wish I could find one of those chrome scripts darn it!

4th ra I found had it. was rough lookin, but cleaned up ok. before pic. that top got put on another ra that I repainted same time.


in the house, getting a good cure on the paint

Looking good ,some day I'll get mine.
Never seen a medallion like that cool I like it.

 

[rocketnorton]

the "medallion" was after omc took over iel/pioneer. the old iel plant is right behind mike acres current warehouse. will get pics one day. looks like it did in 50s. ra manual has pic of the building. and, yes ive been to mike's couple times. last time was to get the story on the "medallion". a few, including me, hadn't seen one before.

I hope it's a good one.

I had a P-51 just long enuff to straighten out the botched carb rebuild, clean him up and throw him on C'list. He was gone in a week.[emoji15]

The NOS 28" bar helped.

This p50 had a broken fuel line in the tank. Just a little crack. It was sucking air and no fuel. carb was clean as can be. Sounded goo piss revving in the garage.

Very nice picts and saws guys...I have a few Pioneers myself.

Friend of mine gave me this last night.
Pioneer 620. I heard pioneer made a 620 super. I don't know if it's a super or not. I really don't know much at all about this saw. Anyone know how to tell if it's a super or not? Any other info you guys could share would be nice too.

 

[rocketnorton]

im thinkin no. would be 620s on tag. super on top. don't know difference, if any. have been educated [wrong] b4, tho... looks like it will clean up good. what's the fullwrap in the box? lookin for one for 038.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

I remember reading something that said the only difference between the 620 and the 620super was the carb. I could be wrong.

The full wrap in the background, box of parts and the partially covered saw is my hybrid I'm building. I made the full wrap from the 044 half wrap and added a piece from an old 038 half wrap I had.

 

[rocketnorton]

one I made from 2 halfwraps. 266xp

 

[rocketnorton]

shroud is on that 620 wrong, too. should see fins there. rotate 90* cw.

 

[Pioneer Perry]

That's a regular 620, super has the copper top and Tillotson hl 129 carb not otherwise no difference. Top cover has no super on it either here's a picture of nos top.

 

[Pioneer Perry]

That 620 looks like it will clean up nicely great score I think regular 620 is more difficult to find.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

Thanks for all the info. I think it will be a fun resto project. I haven't looked real close at it yet but it seems to be all there and in real nice shape. It feels like the compression is good. Hopefully all it needs to run is a carb kit and a few other rubber parts. I haven't checked for spark yet. If you guys think of any other info I'd love to hear it. Thanks

That 620 looks like it will clean up nicely great score I think regular 620 is more difficult to find.

Just curious, is that a 620 super in your avatar picture? It looks sweet
