Beautiful saws, good to see u old friend. Been along time....

PM me with your email and I will send to you. Have sent manuals to shaker.I have been able to get manuals on web for all my saws but had to navigate through the dark side to find them.

I realize this was from a few years ago. But I was hoping you still had that manual. I am going to be working on a 2101xp and if I had the manual it would help. Here is my email [email protected]

Off to doctor in a bit, looking like surgery for my wife next week. My mom coming here from out of state, will be a huge help to us. Be firing up saws soon, never got all the firewood in yet. And of the few saws I have left, the 2101 is my first pull. My 395 is a little lighter, buy in comparison to all saws I have run, the 2100's are my favorite, pretty bullet proof. Im glad with what We have left 395 2101 2888, three of my favorites.

Another member emailed me the IPL for the 2100, i could share if it interests you, shoot me a PM. If there is another manual I could use it as well. I am about to imbark on a full rebuild of my Dads 2100.

I'm sure there are secret stashes of NOS 2100 parts...especially here in the PNW...but I don't have enough yrs left to probably find them. So in the meantime, I ebay and find donors. Thanks again Husky for not supporting one of your greatest saws after you stopped production....although J'red did the same thing.

The 2100 manuals floating around the Net suck....especially the CD's sold on ebay. They are the original FSM's alright, but the copies are so poor, you can hardly make out the illustrations. I'd be happy to pay up to $25 or so for a nice copy(much more for an original FSM)...but haven't found any as of yet.

We're all behind you Norm...

[NORMZILLA44]

Thanks Kevin. And amen on your reply above, that was a mistake husky made. Never even should have discontinued the saw. hard to improve, next to perfect....

 

[Real1shepherd]

Well, they could never reissue a saw like that with all the magnesium tooling, lack of EPA regs on the carb & exhaust etc, etc....so much has changed since then. But that doesn't mean they had to turn their backs on it...but in truth, it's really not Husqvarna anymore, but Electrolux Group AB. And when they bought out Husky, Jonsered and Partner, I don't think they ever gave a rat's ass about the older saws.

I think 3D printing is going to save most of the NLA parts problem. But it's still new to the game and expensive.....

the printers and filiment are cheap now, but you can't print mag or alum The trick is getting a mold out of a sacrificial printed part to be used with casting.

Actually there are 3d printers now that are printing in mag, al, or titanium. Of course they are ridiculously expensive.

Yeah, I'm waiting for this process to be accessible to the common man.

Im definatley hanging on to my 2101, 288, and 395. To bad the world has sacrificed quality. Its all about making a dollar, which is worthless anyway. the cost of anything is so ridiculous. I remember being a kid, stuff made in usa was abundant, and we were proud. I was looking at knives the other day, many buck, gerber etc, old top knife makers, many made in china now.

Hey Norm....how very true. This is typical of Euro manufacturers when confronted with our EPA regs...they build products that punish or cripple the USA users in some way. Been watching this happen since the late 60's.

One of my longtime hobbies is collecting knives. Didn't set out that way, just happened. Always liked them and they were always affordable to me. The switch to overseas production in knives is a complicated issue. They can make good cutlery abroad, but the old caveat about you get what you pay for, is pretty much valid. A cheap foreign made knife, is just that....don't risk your life in a survival situation with it. The loss of Camillus knives over here in the US was a huge blow to all of us that collected knives. China is certainly not the answer to the world's product demand.....proceed warily with their stuff.

Ebay and pawn shops are still a good source for user knives.....great hobby!

Kevin

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Totally agree Kevin. As in many guns, saws etc. Even older Honda four wheelers. Sometimes most now, it does pay like you say, to go to pawn shops. Yard sales etc. Some of the slightly older used things great values, and many times today better quality.

 

[Real1shepherd]

Sad thing is....when the TSA agents first started their searching tactics, they were confiscating pocket knives on a magnitude you can't even imagine. Somebody had the bright idea to list them in lots on ebay...and lots of a hundred or more were common. I got into the game too late, as the prices were not that exceptional. In the beginning however, they were going for pennies on the dollar. You could afford to buy a whole lot just to get at one knife or so. A lot of people carry junk pocket knives for sure, but some people pride themselves in carrying the best like Puma, Boker, Sog etc(or were given great pocket knives as gifts)....when they were still decent knives back in the day.

I don't know if we talked about it on this forum, but a few yrs ago someone came up with a virtually new 2101 sitting in a closet, that never had any oil or gas run through it. This auction ran on ebay and I tuned out after $2,000....made my stomach hurt.

I took some time the other day to take care of some unfinished 2100 business.

The left one is a Dan Henry ported saw. Next to that, I replaced the SEM ignition with my only spare. The 3rd is my super clean, unmolested example. The 2101 on the right had an airleak that had me scratching my head. Figured out it was the wrong carb gasket. Can't use the Tilly gasket from the kit to mount the carb.

[Real1shepherd]

Very Nice!!

Yeah, the present Tilly kits have that diamond shape gasket that doesn't cover the impulse hole in the intake manifold on older Huskies & J'reds....ask me how I know....lol. The correct gasket is still available and green as a Husky part...last time I think I bought six of them for around $3ea.
