Thank you very much. This will answer several questions that I've had.

Cool! Now he has the ipl.
I sent him my 45e so he can maybe build one good saw from the two.

And thank you as well. The saw arrived and is awaiting it's turn on the bench (I might let it cut in line a little).

Do these people use their saws to make a living??!!?? If so, odd that they choose to treat them like this..

Yes, they do make a living with the saws. It's a group of brothers that are all mentally challenged, some more so than others. I've known them since I was little and try to get them into better habits, but they love using that old oil. I don't charge them much for labor as they have had a hard life, don't have much money and I think a lot of other people take advantage of them.

You just don't see the 45 or 451's

I see quite a few 451E and EV around here. I have never seen a 45E locally. They must have had a very short production run.

That's very nice of you eric. I'd always rather give a hand-up instead of a hand-out.

 

[WoodDean]

BTW - Eric, I'm sure you see that 670 champ is up over $120 with 10 hours left and $28 for shipping.

It's getting a little pricey for me, I'm out. So if you're interested, bid away . . . . . .

The 451 is close by with a with good friend. I'll get some photos of it and will post them here. My own current saws are a Husky 359 year 2000 and the restored Little Red to the left. The 49SP will be put to work this weekend at our cabin; got some windfalls to clean up.

Welcome Joe. I had one of those lil reds running at one time, it was the first top handle saw I owned and the first saw I ever took apart to rebuild. Good little runner, still have the pieces of it in a box somewhere. Eventually, oil started coming out of the exhaust. With the price of top-handles these days, maybe I should dig it out and try to fix it.

Y'all have probably already seen this....there's a seller on eBay, djfshop, who has parted out a Jonsered 930. He's listed quite a few parts, including the P&C with some photos, but didn't include any of the inside of the jug. I don't know if the prices are reasonable, but it's worth a look.

His starting prices are very reasonable. Depending on interest, there could be some real deals for somebody resurrecting a 930 or needing some back-up parts. That's not a model I'm personally interested in, as I stop at the 910.

Eric, what the basic difference between the 45E and the 451E? Is the 451E just updated with plastic etc? Acres doesn't list the 45E at all, just the 45....maybe that's his mistake, because what he lists has electronic ignition.

I could use quite a few of those 930 parts, but I'd need to choose between the 930 that's pretty much a carcass, and the 2095 that doesn't need as nearly as many parts. Since I discovered a dismantled 2095 that I had forgotten about (bought it many years ago) to help with the nearly complete 2095, and it's a much newer model, the 2095 makes much more sense.

Yeah, understand the logic there. Maybe you could sell/trade what you have of the 930 to someone that needs the parts?

In talkin' to fellow loggers from back in the day, most say that the 930 was the sturdiest of the 900 series(heaviest too some said)...as far as the handle/AV system goes, but nothing rapped out like the 910. Most regretted dumping the 910 to move to the 920 and then the 930. Three of the guys I know went progressively from the 910 to the 930.

If I ever get that little 910 pig of mine up and runnin', I'm gonna pour the coals to it for sure against the 80/90.

Dug into the 670 yesterday....lot of crud looks... bad but still not a lot of use on this saw by looking at the usual wear points......didn't find any surprises...all needed stuffs are in house already....to durn cold to degrease outside......supposed to warm up next week.....put the cyl back on and get everything cleaned up then perhaps. Piston is lightly scored, ring not stuck....still made 165 lbs compression..... cyl looks like it will clean up fine....if not I have another that is used but in perfect condition....

 

[Real1shepherd]

Which begs the question;Why do so many people seemingly never clean their saws? Is it a 'run till you die' kinda thing?

I can't wait to get my 910 buried in something big! Should be lots fun!

That and I think they just don't know how to do it.

Damn nice find Robin.

 

[WoodDean]

To set it for normal operation, lightly seat the adjuster screw closed by turning it clockwise, then back it out 1 1/2 to 2 turns.

Checked the 49 today, it was turned out 3+ turns. I set it back to 1.25 turns to start.
I also had excess oil coming out of the 621 so I thought I'd check it also. It was out about 2.5 turns so I adjusted that one also.

 

[Real1shepherd]

Yeah...supposed to just lubricate the chain, not piss out on the ground....lol

Interesting ignition configuration on the 52. Initially I couldn't get any spark on it. I believe I had the wire from the coil to the condenser grounded on the points cap.

 

[WoodDean]

After I rearranged the internal wiring I got a nice blue spark. So, crisis averted but what a connection design from the rewind mounted coil to the points plate. I was lucky enough to get the wiring harness I needed for both. The coil below has a wire coming from the post and mounts into a slot in the rewind. Just below the T handle you can see a bass-looking terminal that has a pointed tip on it. That marries to a similar place on the case which is flat.

 

[WoodDean]

Thanks to a member here for a very reasonably priced 52 that donated the points plate, flywheel base, oiler and side handle mount complete with sticker. The primary coil with wiring came from chainsawr.com.
Most other parts came from a couple of 49's so this one isn't going to have the black top. I didn't test compression yet but I will soon and then I'm ready for gasoline. I'm hoping to put an 18" bar on it.
