Howdy fellas,

Can someone school me on P-series chain brakes? I wasted about an hour looking around the internet without definitive answers. I want one for a newly acquired p60. I have the original clutch cover in nice shape but it appears to have never had the brake parts. Are p-50 and up the only direct fit clutch covers? Are the brake parts interchangeable across all P-series? Are Farm-saw brakes different?
Looks like I’m about 7 years too late hunting these parts so any leads are appreciated as well.

Any and all info appreciated.

The brake bands and return springs are the same across the P-series platforms from what I remember. The brake handles are different - the P-50/51/60/61 brake handles are the same, and I believe the later brake handles for P-42/52/62 are all the same. It wasn't common to see the larger Pioneers when new with brakes until after about late '80/early '81 (My dad bought of these saws new).

Thanks, that’s what I needed. Looks like the original FarmSaw has mostly the same parts including the flag, but there are a few different parts. Same with p41. Once you move to pX2, the part numbers change, though the parts themselves look the same. This will definitely help with the hunt.
Thanks!
