Pioneer Partner 500 Chain Saw, Chain Oiler and Bar Repair

[@stevoj8959]

That was a big project but you brought a chain saw back from the grave and it looks like new. Awesome Bruce. Stevo

[@BrucesShop]

Yes, thanks. It has a lot of power for a 50CC saw.

[@haneyoakie14]

I have not seen such a great oiler since Wayne Gretzky

[@BrucesShop]

I was happy it worked after cleaning as part are hard to find. The Gretzky oiler from now on.

[@jp8jeta414]

Lovely video Bruce, a delight to watch. I have one of these old girls sitting in the shed. My father bought it and we used it on the farm in North Western Victoria (Australia) for fence clearing back in the mid 80's, I was all of about 18 0r 19 years old at the time. Here we are in 2022, Dad is long gone now, but the old '500 still goes like a rocket! I really enjoyed watching this.Thank you.

[@BrucesShop]

Very cool! I am happy you enjoyed the video.

[@campbellpaul]

Wow... That thing is over 40 years old and you made it look brand new. Great job, Bruce!

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks again Paul.

[@vikingmop978]

Love it, i'm cleaning up and detailing my Dad's old Partner f65 and r420 learning from your skills.

[@BrucesShop]

[@BrucesShop]

I agree! I had fun too.

[@menditman2004]

Hi Bruce I enjoyed that, saw looked great and I love the shiny bar, great job 🙂👍

[@BrucesShop]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jimyeske8498]

Nice! Looks like a competition saw. Just needs a tuned exhaust pipe!

[@BrucesShop]

That would be cool!

[@knighthawk86855]

If you don't have fun in life what's the point of it all.... Very well done sir.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks again Mr knight. (I know that your name isn't knighthawk).

[@adnacraigo6590]

Those were great saws. My father in law had the first Pioneer that l ever used. It outperformed my McCullough Pro Mac 55.

[@BrucesShop]

That is cool. Thanks for the comment.

[@HobbyMotorDK]

Great video Bruce. Here they are were sold as Partner 500 - fantastic all-round saw.

[@BrucesShop]

It has Partner on the cover as well.

[@BrucesShop]

Good to hear from you Claus.

[@bruceseverson6622]

Cuts threw like butter !

[@BrucesShop]

Yes it did. A log bigger than the bar.

[@jason69chevelle]

Brought it back from the dead!

[@BrucesShop]

Yes It was going to just sit for a few more years.

[@Turningwrenches85]

Great series Bruce. A great chainsaw there

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks 👍

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Hi Bruce. Man this saw really needed love didn't it but you brought it back to life and I must say I'm seriously impressed with the shine job on the bar WOW!!!

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Dave. Now that i am 65 i am taking a different view to what I do on my channel. A change was needed.

[@Mac210.]

Nice job. I too, really like the older saws.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks 👍

[@jme36053]

A well done series Bruce. Sometimes it’s less about the product end-state and more about what is learned during the journey getting there.

[@BrucesShop]

So true

[@nashguy207]

Great job on explaining the oiler. That is a great design for its age. You did such a nice job on that bar I would hate to use it. LOL It runs and cuts like a Brand new saw!!

[@BrucesShop]

It does. It has the full 50cc doing the work.

[@ksdj1]

Very nice. Good informative series. I like that old saw!

[@BrucesShop]

So do I. Thanks again.

[@CountryRock2k1]

Looks good. Gotta tighten that chain up a little more though.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks for the tip

[@haraldpost]

Didn't start good though. My Partner 5000 starts on 3rd pull from dead cold. I had a problem with the oiler too. It was leaking out. Turned out the metal cover @8:30 wasn't flat as the screws had been overtightened. Fixed that but still it was dripping out. Pulled off the cover and re-did it with Permatex aviation sealant.

[@BrucesShop]

Your didn't start good enough? sorry I missed something.

[@haraldpost]

@@BrucesShop Sorry, I meant that your saw took a bit of effort to start.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Mike

[@not2fast4u2c]

Just watching you fiddle with that oier had me screaming ..You Sir have way more patience than I do The shiny bar will be more scary when I use it on Halloween to scare people

[@BrucesShop]

I couldn't do that but i thought of getting a mask LOL

[@Photocapturer]

Excellent illustrative video Bruce! That bar oil pump is genius! Chain saw engine purrs like a kitten.

[@BrucesShop]

It does. Thanks

[@rickreese5794]

Sounds GR8 !

[@BrucesShop]

Thank you.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice job on the oil pump. Man those are finicky to work on and with. I am amazed at the shine you got on that bar. The whole job you did on this saw has made it 'hot saw lumberjack show' worthy!!! I wonder why the exhaust would vent toward the bar... Thanks for sharing. Take care!!!

[@BrucesShop]

Good stuff. I checked it out and you don't want the heat to go toward the handle.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

@@BrucesShop That makes sense!!!

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

All I'll say is I wished u lived close to me so I could have u fix things for me when I can't figure them out.or don't have time to mess with it. Awesome job again. Jobs a Good un. Ehhhh

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks William.

[@rogermcdonald1607]

[@BrucesShop]

Reminds me of my John Deere 50v

[@BrucesShop]

I may be the same saw.

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

What do u charge for something like that. Ball park?????

[@BrucesShop]

OK I only charged 2 hours above parts as this is a close friend who means a lot. I must have had 50 hours into it. He lost his wife about 10 years ago and this was a pick me up for him.
