Everyone needs a Jonsered thread

Bump
I've gotten a few requests from friends for a recommendation on a chainsaws.
They don't do a lot of cutting. I figure a 50cc saw would be a good match for their needs.
I'm not sure why but I've been finding Jred 2149's for decent prices. The first 2 were from estates being sold by their kid who didn't know what it was and sold a pro grade saw for the price of a homeowner saw, $175 each. This last one needs a clutch spring and clutch cover. The spring mustve come out of place and carved a hole in the clutch cover.
$30 for this last one. I'm gonna fix it up, put a 346 p&c on it for my neighbor . He has a Husky 455 he can send down the road.Resized_20230924_164628.jpeg
 
I remember cutting with Jack a bunch and each time he’d have me run one of his 2171’s I’d put it down after 60 seconds and swap it with my xpw

I think he felt the same as I did about the handles but he never vocalized it; he was never able to allow himself to be critical of anything that was black and red
Now thinking of your xpw... What ever happened to your old youtube channel? I remember your first start vid of that saw and your bruther drawing you as the naked tree cutter

Its the same channel, I deleted those videos quite a few years back

Yeah that was the GTG at Weimedog’s property in the fall of 2009 - the good ole NYCSM days - I was a young happy naive little bugger at the age of 28

I had a 2171 as well, heated handles, put an XPW top on it and had Eric port it

It was a nice saw - my younger brother (not the one in that vid) straight gassed it on me by accident - I hadn’t mixed the fuel yet and he wasn’t aware

I had the top replaced with another 75cc jug and Eric worked it over again; if I recall correctly I sold it to Jack sometime after my dad passed away

And lol I remember that quite well - that was back when my username was WoodChucker81 - way back then when I worked for Bakers Logging he told me I should log naked with Dick and Terry while wearing nothing more than a pair of chaps and post pics of it on AS - and then he told me to change my username to NudeLogger81 🤣

He used to draw pics of me logging naked all the god damn time with a Solo or Dolmar in my hands and he’d text them to me - whenever he came to help me with firewood or whatever he’d only refer to me as NudeLogger81

At one point he even changed my contact info on his phone to NudeLogger81 and he even used one of his funner drawings as the contact photo

God those were some seriously fun and funny ass days….
