Pioneer, partner,p/p,skil,frontier,remington....... I believe all these used this saw under their name.  I have a p/p that color but with a better handle & chainbrake. I also have a skil version just like this a but skil weak yellow. I have no clue as to the actual manufacturer of these........

I've got two of those things and trust me they aren't much to brag about .Hard tp say exactly who made them because they came in every color of the rainbow .

frontier, trail manufacturing was the company that made them. when they ran, they ran o.k. but no more power than a mini mac and way less power than a poulan micro. a real pain to work on in chainsaw terms. no more than the mini's or micro's just a little more time consuming for little benefit.
i wouldn't bother spending anything for one. you can find them all over the place for free or damn close to it.

The two I have were freebies as well as the 5 or 6 mini Macs and one Homelite double trigger xl-2 plus  a tiny little Echo .

These things are what they are and they aren't oak slayers .A little firewood ,trim the apple tree in the back yard thing .

Well I have a couple little Mac's so it sounds like this one is nothing special.  Thanks

They are not anything special and difficult to work on. Got the skil for free and paid $20 for the p/p just cuz it said pioneer ......the same age macs&poulans were better imp

I have the same saw as yours tommysp1 for sale in husqvarna orange, a 34deluxe. Also saw a jred version of it pop up on ebay. I guess the question isn't who used this saw under their name but who didn't?!!!!

That's a Frontier/Quadra/EMAB built saw.  Sold under the Skil, Husqvarna, and many other brand names.  There were many variants of them.  Some with AV.  Some with manual oilers.  Some with a weird ventilated clutch cover/exhaust duct setup (with a 'fan' setup on the clutch like what you'd see on a flywheel).  I don't like any of them.  Have had about 10 pass through my shop and have not kept any of 'em.  Gimme a Poulan Micro series saw over them any day of the week (and twice on Sunday)...

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I have a Husky 35, possibly one of the last built because it has a chain brake, and is one of the easiest mini saws I have ever seen to work on. Remove the air filter, a bar nut, 3 screws and everything is exposed. Years ago a local r/c guy was buying them, it was the only engine in that class that was reliable enough for his application.

There has been a commercially available R/C version of the little Quadra engine available since about 1980 or so.  That was one of the first OPE based large scale engines on the market.  As the large scale market has grown, the list of gas engine mfgs has grown with it.  OPE based and purpose built large scale and giant scale engines abound.  There's also many folks out there (and here on this board) that covert various OPE engines for RC use.

Fixed the minor issue by changing four letters.

Was watching a show from abroad and funny how words in different places mean different things. I really liked their meaning of root in the show.

Hey girl you want to go root. ;) Sounds so much better then our F bomb.
