I took a cylinder off a Pioneer Parner P42 yesterday and a Pioneer Farmsaw.
The cylinders and Pistons are the same, except for the compression release.
The P42 tag says it's a cbW, single reed, maybe the cylinder was changed before.
I think the P 42 cylinder is repairable just needs some transfer cleaned up.
The piston and cylinder in the farmsaw are like new. I will be taking a pp39 apart today to see what it looks like.

Cracked reed block

Cracked reed block

It is, not all the way thru, the one on the farmsaw is good, metal reed so I might get a new double reed to use on the P42. JB weld the cracked one, maybe.
I'm taking apart a P40, pioneer farmsaw, PP39 and the PP42 see what I have,
The Farmsaw is like brand new inside, never taken one apart that new. I think the recoil went and it was put on a shelf.
Because of the recoil problems I'm going to use the parts on it for the other 3. I think the P 39 might be a boost port also.

My p41 to 42 conversion is sitting here waiting on a new flywheel. It has brand new piston and cylinder Ignition reed block. Boyesen double reeds and rebuilt carb. I cant wait to hear it run

With most modern pro saws all being pretty much the same design dressed in different color clothes, these P-series Pioneers remind us what 'could be' if the saw game gene pool is healthy. Its one saw brand I have on my bucket list to own, they were pushing the boundaries and doing stuff no one else was. We're worse off without saw co's like Pioneer & Mac around.

A p42 flywheel does not work. Or at least the one I received

 

[Svlmustang]

Seems very sluggish to me

Got the correct flywheel. Come to find out my new coil is junk. I'm sure Larry at rottmans is getting annoyed with me. I put a cheap homelite coil on it for now. Guess I'll see how it cuts tomorrow.

Get a 5 series and a 6 series.

I'll be keeping an eye out for I guess a p52 and 62

 

[p61 western]

50,51,60, and 61 all as good if not better in some aspects.

 

[Pioneer]

I have a P51 I may part with if your interested, I will have to go thru get some photos and see what's not there. I think it mostly complete except a good coil.
No bar or chain.

That looks very nice

A nice mid size P series to build, the 62 and 655 big brothers are the next step up.

A p62 is always better with the 655 top end lol. Have you taken yours out recently? I need to get mine out. Been running the modern saws a lot lately. It's time for some old school Pioneer fun. Oh and nice saws btw Jerry.
