Jonsered 81

JANDG · Jun 19, 2009

Any users of this old saw. I purchased one local & pick it up next week. It is in exceptional shape & seems to be a fairly large cc unit. I can not find any info on a 81 though, planty on the other versions, but not this 81. Any comments good or bad would be helpfull.

There is no such model. Just the 80 and 801.

Welcome to AS!

Are you sure it's not a 51?

JANDG · Jun 19, 2009

I handled saw this mourning & put earnest money onit for pickup next week. It said what I thought was Jonsered 81 on the sprocket/bar side of saw. The 1 was directly next to 8. I suppose the decal could have folded over or lost it's 0, but it sure did not look like it. I seen a site that has a 81 listed under Jonsereds, but no specs at all, only the 80 & 801, but has a 81 on the list. I seen it on a collector site. Wish I could remember which site. Now you got me thinking.....
Thanks Joe

I take that back, apparently there is an 81. I have never seen one, or heard of one.

I am assuming it is an 80 with a few different features. If you want to part with it, let me know.

PB · Jun 19, 2009

I found a little bit of info, it takes the same p&c as the 80 and 801 so the specs and parts should be the same for the major components.

We need pics!!

JANDG · Jun 19, 2009

Sweet!

What color is the top? Silver or black?

JANDG · Jun 19, 2009

Black top & previouse owner has a 30+" bar on it. not much scuffing on bottom & all else is decent also. I like the older saws & am excited to get it.

Did it look like this?

JANDG · Jun 19, 2009

Yes, every thing from memory looked just like that. on/off..choke all in same spot. Will be intresting to find what the differance is if anything..? So the supposed 81 is probably a 80cc saw, compression sure feels like it.. Also had the hand guard as yours.

That would be neat to have an 81. Sure, it would be similar to the more common models, but I bet less of the 81 were sold. Good job on the find!

What you have is an 801. I asked on the collector's site and got the same answer that I initially gave. There is no such model as the 81. If you want, send me a PM and I will give you the link to the discussion. Can't post it in the forum.

I still want to see pictures though, who knows there might really be an 81 out there.

I'm in

If you wouldn't mind I'd like a PM also on this. I only have three Jred's, 2 920's, and a 621, but am interested in the brand. Just curious, why can't you put a link here? Some sort of rule I suspect. JR

Here is my 801:

Thanks Chris

Much appreciated. I had run across that 81 listed (sort of ) on the Acers site some time ago and wondered about it. It will be interesting to get the pictures next week. Now all us Jred fans have something to look forward to. JR
