Old one on gumtree and it's a Jonsereds 451EV with the s on the end. It looks very early with the metal brake handle.

My old boss ran one of then also a 111s still sitting in his shed when I spoke to him last week. 

When I worked for him bought a 630 for me to use 1987 great saw and still going when he gave me a hand on a job last week.

Very heavy and lots of complicated detail bits under the hood which have been simplified out of modern saws, all metal construction.

 

Lighter than the Danarm though.

 

It seems incredible it was used all day long  in quite large thinnings.

 

I wonder what percentage of modern timber production is done motor manual now compared with harvesters.

 

In 1974 when  we had 621s at EFG a chap called Ray Stubbs brought a Fordson Major with an ex lorry HIAB  and grapple in to do the extraction for Forest Thinnings. It blew a load of ram seals, Ray was heartbroken because seals cost a fortune then as so little hydraulic equipment about.
