A whole bunch of Jonsereds!!

[cbfarmall]

When I started buying these Jonseys years ago (after I got my head out of my a-s-s and realized that Stihls were not the only saws on the planet), I never set out to acquire the whole series. In the last couple weeks I finished rebuilding one (an 820 heated handle which I had been sitting on for 6 months or so) and the 830 just arrived last night from a member here. Now, I have all the Jonsered saws built based on the 910 chassis. Of course, I am not including the mythical 100cc 910 that may or may not exist.

The only major thing I'm lacking is the 910 chain brake option.

Look closely at the picture and you can see all the variations in the rear handles and top covers. L-R: 2095, 2094, 930 Super, 920 Super, 830, 820, 910EV, 910E.



Two of the mufflers used. The little square side port muffler on the full-wrap 910 is arguably the lamest. Yes, I know a bolt is missing from the 910 muffler.



Another style on the 930 full wrap. A much better muffler. The silver paint on the 920 is a reminder that I do indeed do stupid stuff.



I'll go out on a limb and say the 930 was the pinnacle of this series. The 2094 and 2095 lost some personality and are noticeably heavier. It is peculiar that Jonsereds installed decomps on the 910, eliminated them on the -20 and -30 saws and brought them back for the 2095. My 930 would certainly benefit, and all those plastic recoil saws would probably be happier.

Beautiful saws! Some rep coming your way for keeping these things going strong.

Very nice collection. Mufflers seem not the most solid ones on theser series and are often repaired.

Are those nice Spikes on the biguns original ?

 

[jockeydeuce]

That's a great group of muscle!!!

Really? None of mine show any sign of deterioration, except the 820. And that is because the saw sat in water some time before I got it--I had to swap the crankcase out. The surface rust you do see is all my fault.

What I do generally see are mufflers bashed in. But saws are meant to be used, not admired.

You mean the 2094 and 2095 spikes? Yes, they are original factory parts. And, if you look closely, they are different between the two saws.

All spikes you see are factory original and appear in one or more of the IPLs for these saws.

Very nice collection. I only have a 830, 920, and a 930. They really are good saws. The muffler on your 930S is pretty much a clone of the Husky jungle muffler. I have a few for the 2100, and have one mounted on a 480. And maybe I should say Husky modeled theirs after the Jonsered:msp_rolleyes:

Nice group shot! I have to agree with you, the 930 Super is the pick of the litter. I had a 920 Super, 2094 and 2095. I still have the 930. One of the most impressive stock saws I have run.

Nice set of saws. It can be hard to locate mufflers sometimes, certainly if the "correct" muffler is desired. I am not usually that picky. The largest bore that I have come across for those was a Mahle 57mm, supposedly factory for the 910s. Put the 910 at 95cc, I asked a couple of the local folks and posted a thread here but did not get any other information. The stand out comment from one of the locals was sometimes a fellow could get his hands on a real runner.

Other than the one 57mm P/C the rest have been the 54mm 9xxs. One of the reps mentioned on the 930s that there was supposedly a run of 56mm P/C but I have not seen any of those.

I really enjoy the 2094/95s but do not use them much anymore since sourcing local parts is pretty much over.

Also wanted to elaborate a little on the mufflers reputation, it was not uncommon for them to burn through, especially at the corners or around the openings. I pretty much just expect to need to find a muffler if I was purchasing a used loggers saw. The 2094/95 mufflers were well known for dropping the deflector and burning through the chain brakes, so add a brake flag to costs of restoring a logger's saw. If they were harshly dented then they would typically burn through the dent creases. I have brazed and mig welded lots of those mufflers just so I did not have to beat on a new one. The other mufflers in the 900 series have been a rare local find for a good long while.

Those saws were quite popular locally after the 920s came out, the 910s sold well enough by the one dealers account but things took off with the 920/930s.

You definitely got it there with that bunch, I'll give you that!

Looks like we need to mod a few of those square outlet mufflers though.

Sheer awesome. I don't have any swedes quite that big yet but I'm sure it's coming. Nice collection bro.

Way cool!

Which is your fav to run?

That's a great collection of Jreds! If i might pick your brain a moment, is there an easy way to identify the 920/930 supers from the standard versions? Besides the decal? I have a 920 and was curious in case i find decals for it, i would want it correct.. Again, very nice lineup

How about removing the muffler and measure the bore?

Nice line up! I like my 830. I should open up my 520sp some day and see what failed on it. My 49sp needs rings and probably a piston. My 621 probably could use rings and seals. Oh, well, enough other saws to get the wood cut. For now any ways.

Beyond the possibility of the thickness of the piston rings being changed during the production run and the start up of the 930s, the use of the "Super" label was marketing as far as I know.

 

[taplinhill]

First, there was no 930, only the 930 Super. With the 920 it was just the later ones being Supers. They never made a "Standard" and a "Super" together. On another note, I have seen brochures with a 920E, but never seen a saw labeled that way.

Thanks for the insight fella's. Much appreciated. :msp_biggrin:
