Jonsered Chainsaws

[SawTroll]

A 111S. Last of the '70s 110cc saws that started with the 110. I heard it was only made for export since Sweden didn't have trees big enough to tame it. Think it's tied with one of their '50s models for largest Jonsereds.

From what some of the oldtimers here told me, they really don't run that well for the size, but it's a nice solid saw. A while back it seemed like everyone had one.

Same size as the XF.

Yes, the first 110cc one was the XF, made 1960-69.

Here's my Little Jred, but I think it's actually made by EMAB?

Yes, and sold under a dozen or more brand names - not a true Jonsered......

 

[Woodie]

I only have one Jonsereds, but I made it count.

Okay, men...repeat after me:

"YOU SUCK!!"

2175w

You are all talking like it's obvious what a 2175W is....WHAT IS IT!

A 2171 with a 75cc 372XPW cylinder and piston installed.

That is a pretty nice tile job on the wall.

Floor isn't bad either. Remodel in progress?

Does a 2036Turbo count as owning a JRed?

Does a 2036Turbo count as owning a JRed?

Yes, but you could have just painted the Poulan black and red and it would have worked, too.

Yes it does!

Yes, but you could have just painted the Poulan black and red and it would have worked, too.

I am 90% positive my 2036 says made in Sweden on it. I need to get a picture when I get home. Dad bought it in the early 90's.

You're right. I, too quickly, lumped it in with the current chameleon saws.

Real question is did the 111S get used in the remodel process! I still remember my dad cutting into the house wall to "trim" an area so a stairway would fit he was putting in....hilarious

Interesting how John in Ma turns the sentiment away from certain people and the idea that they suck.

Some will remember that John in Ma got his 111 on Ebay. While quite a few of us were waiting to see who would be the first bid, John called the obviously new ebayer and suggested that since he wasn't getting many bids, John would take it off his hands for $20, or some such figure.

But the icing was showing up here again to brag about sneaking in underneath everybody and laugh in our faces.

Had I known AS members (or anyone, really) were considering that saw I wouldn't have pulled the end-around, and my posting about it here wasn't trying to show up the people who turned out to be watching. It wasn't my intention to rub anyone's nose in anything. I apologize for the move. There's only so much I can say--it was years ago.

In case any newer guys want the story, in early 2002 someone listed a seized Jonsereds chainsaw with a blurry photo and not much of a description. I believe within a couple days of the end it still had no bids. I emailed the seller and asked if there was a price he'd want to sell it for. His response was that if I could pay his starting figure ($35) I'd own it. I agreed and got the saw.

Remodeled before I got the house. I wish the rest of the work was as clean as the tile.

No chainsaws involved, as far as I know.

Here is my new 2186. I thought my 359 was ok for big wood till i brought this home, wow!

I retract the Bile and venom: stand-up response from John.

Not like I can complain too loud...I snagged a 90 in the meantime, and got a "parts" 621 on Ebay that really only needed a carb kit and an anti-vibe mount.
