Cracked reed blockI 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.
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.Cracked reed block
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 runIt 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.
A p42 flywheel does not work. Or at least the one I receivedMy 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
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.A p42 flywheel does not work. Or at least the one I received
Get a 5 series and a 6 series.Okay so now I want to build another pioneer. Suggestions to which p series to try?
I'll be keeping an eye out for I guess a p52 and 62Get a 5 series and a 6 series.
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.![]()
A nice mid size P series to build, the 62 and 655 big brothers are the next step up.
