Vintage Pioneer P41 Chainsaw - Old Iron Brought Back to Life 

I still have my Dad's P41. He bought it new. 24" bar is biggest I'll run on her anymore. Still has plenty of power. Nice reliable saws.

Awesome job! We used to have the P41 and a P28 when I was a kid. Used to do all the wood for winter. Brings back a lot of memories... Cheers!

Excelllent sir. Another piece of Canadian history saved and brought back to life ! Alex

That is a nice saw. I have a P41, here in England, which I purchased at a local auction. Spent a little time getting it going, but runs pretty well now. It didn't have felling spikes, and parts are not so easy to obtain, as you say. So I ended up making spikes for it, from a sheet of 2mm thick hardened steel. Nice to get these classic vintage saws going again.

Good job on the saw, you just can't beat the vintage chainsaw, their made of metal not so much plastic, little more weight but once on the log all you have to do is pull the trigger. Great video 👍

The side exit exhaust is so cool.

Excellent and thorough job. Like to see the children helping and learning that's great good job.

Really enjoyed this video, bought a new P40 for thinning contracts in '73, used a 28" bar to avoid bending over so far , would run it all day, it's a great saw!

Tôi ở Việt Nam và tôi đã mua 1 chiếc P50 với giá khoảng 25usd và tôi đã sơn lại và làm cho nó hoạt động. 1 thương hiệu tuyệt vời.

What a fun project, it's great how you show us every step. Keep the chainsaw video's coming!

Nice work.

Best ms170 upgrade! You obviously have never had a fire start from a muffler.

Can you further explain the porting you did. Did you adjust timing or just widen the intake and exhaust

Great video. Thanks. Can you tell me what Oregon bar and chain you fit on it, model etc. Would be very helpful.

i have a question mine will not start on choke and will not run slowly. Do i need carb kit?

Great Saws! I'm missing the four bolts for starter cover - do you happen to know the thread and lengths? I can't seem to locate info anywhere. Thanks for the thorough video.

Does all that cleaning on the outside make the saw cut better? It is a saw and will get covered with sawdust within a few minutes of starting to cut!

i just got one in garage sale like that, my carb jets have no markings , which one is high and which one is low? Great stuff

Good effort on the video very interesting! ive just aquired a p41 79sh 12/21 in amazing condition done very little work! for the bargain price of 40! english pounds! still pinching myself! they are a beast of a saw! got a excellent 20" bar/chain on it im gonna get a 28/30 see how it likes that? runs like a dream! for a 40 year old! blew carb de-baffled and de-governed running at 50.1 mineral but its worrying me? what mix do you run? and is it still goin strong?

What do you use to clean everything?

Hey Vince, great video! nice job on the P41 :) I have on my channel a Pioneer 2043 from 1971 complete teardown/rebuild if you are interested in this. Cheers
