Jonsered Chainsaws

[Chris J.]

Did this saw go to anybody here? I was watching it, very tempted, even have a 801 HB that should fit it (????), but wasn't quite ready to buy a saw with too many unknowns.

I was at one of my local j-red dealer last week and had a 2077 with a bad p/c waiting to be cleared by jonsered. I was wondering if I could get some more back ground on this saw. I looked it up already on acres already but I guess was curious if this was like an xpw. Thank you for any help offered. Toad22t

The 2077 is an older Partner (7700) design and has no Husky Twin.
There are a little on the heavy side for the power as they were the small bore 2083.

So will a 2083 cylinder fit on this creating a hybrid like say a 044/046.

Yes, the 2077/2083 are the same saw other than the bore.
But, be careful of the 2083II. It is nothing more than a 2077.

Things have been way too quiet in this thread :taped:.

Here's one I don't recall seeing before, and I have been keeping a pretty close :Eye: on feePay Jonsered listings.

Your thoughts?

It's too soon to edit my above post--I meant to mention that it's a 370, not a 870.

Funny, I just messaged the seller of this saw about wanting to change his listing before any bidders.

Your thoughts?

I have one that came with a group of saws, ran ok with a quick-'n-dirty fuel system once over but the gas/oil tank leaked badly.

Cheap consumer saw IMO and of the eight Jonsered(s)'s I have, would consider it to be the low point in the brand by a good margin. A low point really, out of over a hundred other saws in my possession, lol. I look at it and think the only reason it has any value at all is as an example of that point.
It actually annoys me that I own it, the thought of it degrades the whole brand in my mind:msp_tongue:

I'd be curious if any other saws in the brand compete with it on this point, I think it even beats those particular 5xx series:jester:

Was a pain to fix as the gas oil/tanks are a convoluted maze of chambers in the front of the saw that share a too-flimsy cover which required me to make a thick cork gasket to have any chance of sealing up. There was probably three or four different types of gasket sealer on it already from others previous attempts at fixing it, including some difficult to remove stuff like threebond.

Chris, if you really want one that bad I'd consider throwing it in a box for the price of shipping and wouldn't be doing you a favor.
Not sure when I'd get to it though, a little over extended ATM...

Bill, thanks for posting a detailed review, I'll hit you with some rep if I'm able. No, I'm not looking for a 370, I have enough troubles working on good saws , but I do thank you for the offer.

As I mentioned, I've been keeping a close eye on eBay Jonsered(s) listings for several years because Jreds are extremely rare in Houston. This was the first 370 I recall seeing listed. Perhaps they're more common in Canada? I certainly don't want to paint all EMAB chainsaws with the same brush, but I tend to see the word "cheap" frequently in discussions of EMAB manufactored (usually rebadged???) chainsaws.

801

Hope it's worth it.

The saw went for $77.00 on eBay. I think it's a steal for a running 801. I have bought a saw from that outfit "Hammond" before. It was everything and more than they described. They are a real outstanding outfit.

The old metal jons have got to be my favorite. Here's some of mine.

90 This saw was given to me by my dad which he bought new in 80 or 81. This girl has cut a lot of wood!!!

80 This one I bought about 15 years ago from a co worker for $100

70e This one I got at a auction for $110 and looked like it had not been cleaned since the day it was new.

 

[jdeere66]

A few more:msp_biggrin:

621 This one came from a auction, I was looking for a 60 but couldn't pass this one up for $42.00 :yoyo:

52e this one came from my local dealer for $50.00 it wasn't running very good so the guy traded it in on a new plastic model. it just needed a carb rebuild, it also came with a new bar and chain.

 

[jdeere66]

And a couple more.

52 this came from ebay for $50.00 for my 12 year old son who has helped me cut ever since, he is now 22

49 sp also from ebay for $150.00 but has very low hours. Came with a 2036, 621 and a 80 parts saws.

Jdeere66 very nice collection and pictures. Thanks for the showing. I enjoyed that.

Jdeere66 very nice collection and pictures. Thanks for the showing. I enjoyed that.

:agree2: Gotta love the old 'reds!

 

[gapl1953]

Jdeere66 very nice collection. Looks like you have 52e's like I have 621's. I have 5 or 6 621's but none of them are as nice as yours. They have all been used hard over here in cheeseland.

Very nice collection indeed....your 80 however is an 801 not an 80 unless you (or someone) have upgraded it with the 801/90 top/air filter...80s all were silver tops similar to the 621 with the same type of round air filter.....very nice clean saws showing little wear for their ages with the exception of the 52...she has spent many hrs in someone's hands...experienced I prefer to call it!! Thanks!! Oh and that's a very nice 621 too!!!!!!

 

[jdeere66]

Thanks every one for the compliments, and cantdog the upgrade you mentioned could be why I haven't seen many 80's like mine.:msp_unsure: It could very well be a 801 as part of the decal is missing

Or it could be a 80 because the top cover looks like it is from a 90 with a rubber plug in the hole for the decomp button, but I know this has not been done in the past 20 years.

As for (what I thought was a 80) parts saw this could very well be a 801 as the top cover doesn't have the decomp hole

Is there a way to tell the difference by the serial #? Parts saw #486692 Runner #1618375
Thanks again every body.
Bill.
