Jonsered Chainsaws

[WoodDean]

Thanks Tim, I found them for $1.99. I'm wondering what the catch is.......like are they solid nylon and feel like little bricks in your hand? Sorry to be skeptical but.....if the price is too good to be true, then it usually isn't a good product.

Dean....some feedback on the handle itself??

Kevin

THAT'S the one fossil . . . . thanks so much for posting a pic.

The handle has a hard plastic feel to it. I actually don't mind it on the 621.
I think because of it's hardness, it doesn't flex when you start to go into your pull and feels solid.

In case anyone is interested, there's a Jonny 75 on ebay.

I knew I should have kept this saw. If for no other reason----the starter handle---. Needless to say, had this one before CAD struck

That's better......none of the old folks will be able to read it...... That's OK anyway.....It's being bid way up by a couple newbee's anyway...$80 with 3 days left and $61 shipping......

I resemble that remark.

Thats a 601???? . . . . . looks a lot the 75.

Well it does...in style at least...love that art deco look Jonsereds had in the 50-60's. But if you look closely at the 75/751 and 601 you'll start to see differences.....like the 601 has twin triggers like the 621 (which is actually what the 62/621 was designed from) but he 75/751 has a single trigger...also the recoil spring housing on the 601 has two screws and the 75 has three...etc. etc.

Interesting......we were discussing the silver being present on some clutch covers and not on others.......the 75 on ebay has silver on it's cover but my 601 is all red....so I'm guessing that this is not necessarily time/era sensitive or silver top sensitive. for that matter...I like the silver on the clutch cover.......we'll probably never know the reasoning........

I had to check mine after reading this because I hadn't given it much thought till now. Silver on mine. It does seem pretty random at times.

 

[Real1shepherd]

Yeah, but you have to think there was some factory reasoning/methodology. I still think it might have to do with production numbers. Like started with silver and then went red on the same model-might even have something to do with how long the production run of a model was. You'll never get to the bottom of it unless you cross serials with original covers...and almost impossible task with old, surviving saws.

I suspect there was some sort of plan/reasoning but along with any kind of serial number info it seems to be lost to us mere mortals........

Just for the record, 3 more silver covers. 601 ser.203369, 621 ser.853237, 52e ser.637112 all 6 digit ser. #'s. Also have a 52e red cover ser.1313651, 7 digit.
Wish I had kept the 601 and 621, they'd fit right in on the "old saw tree".

 

[WoodDean]

Saw Tree???!!!!???? THAT's the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

Where'd you get that, Bailey's? Cabelas? Lowes?

 

[woods works]

Harbor Freight had them on sale for only $129.99!! I should a bought 2 of em.



Actually----------my back yard. Here's the "build thread"

http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/to-early-to-put-up-the-tree.247918/

Needed some place to display some of my used saws for sale at the shop and all the shelf space was taken up. So came up with this. First draft, but think its going to work. ( could use three more -- dam CAD )

Very nice, Robin. I've been watching a 49 case myself.

hey . . . .. I thought you'd be saving up for that 75?

Geeze...the one week or so I don't go on ebay!! Nice haul....wouldn't have been a 'moment of weakness' for me...would have snapped it right up.

I'd sure like that full wrap if you're willing to sell.
