My first saw was a Pioneer 2400. Quite a grunty saw for the era. No anti vibe though or if it did have it never worked. Quite a tiring saw to use vibe wise. All screws were loctited in to keep them tight. It died under a large macrocarpa crushed into a million bits. Lack of experience on my part.

I was also given a much older Pioneer. Yellow model with manual oiling and glass bowl fuel filter. I intended to use it as a go kart motor but never got the project off the ground. It too was probably better suited as a museum piece.

The 2400 was replaced by an 045AV. On a visit to the Kauri museum a few years back I saw an exact example of my 045.
I still have that saw but the motor has long since been fitted to an older Stihl BT360 auger.
