Jonsered Chainsaws

[Real1shepherd]

Ok, I think I found out what happened. Seller asked if I had a pink plastic zip lock bag with the saw.
I said I did not, but I had a clear zip lock bag with a connecting rod, wrist pin, spacer washers and needle bearings that do not belong to a 111s.

My guess is they belong with the carb and fit a stihl . . . . . and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Good sleuthing on the carb guys....certainly appears to be for one of those poser, orange & white things. It's OK to mention Husky with J'red....but don't even bring mention of those other things in here....lol!

How about you send him that 'other' saw crap back and get the real package....along with the $100 off???

I'm not sure about the "s". It could be the 49cc version or perhaps for "safety" because the one pictured has the early brake.

I was thinking 49cc version, as that fits with a late 50 - but I don't really know...

 

[SawTroll]

Are you sure? mine has the same handle.

No, I am not sure at all - the design just looks too clumcy to be OEM.

I agree, I don't like the design either.

He said he looked everywhere and couldn't find the other parts bag, so $160 plus shipping makes me feel better for what I got. Even if it is just a parts saw.

I was thinking the same thing when I looked at mine. Like they just chopped it off without finishing the front design.
And from what I've been reading they have a tendency to crack where the handle bolts to the back of the gas tank.

Yeah, I talked about that with Robin and linked him here to the discussion...probably the same one you've been reading. I don't remember if there is a cure other than keeping an eye on the bolts and making sure they are tight.

Hard to say on that full-wrap.......in the 80/90 owners chop off the handle like that because the AV mount that goes back to the saw from the handle, has been extinct for quit some time. It would be nice to know how other member's 111S saws are terminated on that side of the full-wrap.

I was trying to fall with my 90 the other day that doesn't have a full wrap....I felt like a three legged dog. I guess it just depends on what you're used to.

I believe the full wrap on the 111 terminates a little above the bottom of the saw with a slightly larger than the handle dia. round end plate. Don't think they ever returned to the case like newer ones....just stopped on the vertical with that plate so your hand wouldn't slide off.

Which begs the question;why would somebody just cut it off higher like on Dean's saw? Wouldn't really make access to the clutch cover any easier, would it?

Since I'm posting pics, I'll throw up the latest installment of my old brochure picture show.
There are some interesting changes from the 51 discussed in the ad. New cylinder design, new chainbrake.

Most people put drinks, magazines and food items on their coffee table . . . . . . . . but not Tap

Think this was hot?

Oh hell yeah, putting chainsaws on a coffee table!! I only have a 910 P&C and a vacuum/pressure tester on mine......and a lot of magazines. Beautiful shape, those 670's. There must be a way to blow up those old ads so I can read them. When I try to enlarge them, they pixelate. The FBI and the NSA do it all the time on TV.....lol!

The pic of the 111S full-wrap is so weird.....it just looks like it was meant to connect back to the saw body. No piece on the cut end like Robin was talkin' about to stop your hand. So Eric, what does your full-wrap 111S look like then?

I think this looks much better on the saw:

Agreed... IMHO for some reason the full wrap looks like a swing set for the 111's they don't really look like the belong as well as the half wraps do. I would have to assume they were factory, but I always wondered.....

My 111S has the half wrap on it. The thing I don't like about the full wrap from a collector's perspective is the fact that the hand guard has to be removed. To me they are more functional without the hand guard, but look incomplete without them.

As for the brochures, the file size is pretty big, so I guess I reduced it a little too much. I just looked into it, and I guess AS automatically changes the size, which makes it unreadable. If anybody wants larger versions, just send me your email and I can send them to you.

So the hand guard at the end of the tubing comes off....or has to be cut off? Does someone have a pic of the full-wrap with the hand guard? Oh wait a minute...you're talking about that plastic piece on the top cover that curls up on the older J'reds? I've always removed those....first big branch strike and they'll get cracked or broken.

The full wrap on the 111S does look overblown and clunky. If you look at the full wrap on the Husky 2100 for example, it's much more streamlined. But there's a tradeoff....the closer the handle bar gets to the saw, the harder it is to take off parts like the clutch cover and starter housing.

Yes, I'd love to have readable copies;[email protected]

May look better than that other abortion, but if you're gonna use a heavy saw like that for serious fallin', you need the full wrap. If you're just gonna buck logs and make firewood, then that handle is fine. You got no buckin' dawgs either.
