Mystery saw find

[openspaceman]

that is a 61 they good saws there are diff models tho lol

 

Weren't they sold with white tops? A farmer's version of the 162

As Rich says, they were known as Ranchers and believe they came in 51 and 61cc versions - they are OK saws, not going to set the world alight but will cut your firewood for 25 years:thumbup:

 

Had one in a few months back - 28 years old and just needed new carb manifold and am sure it will be good for another 20 odd years firewood cutting:thumbup:

Grey white black and orange I think the first ones were 3.6hp the later ones 3.9hp but on that I maybe wrong lol.....They did make em before they were bought out by Electrolux lol so going back to mid seventies if I remember right

Yep here is the one that was on my bench a few months back for a clean up. Tune up and sharpen. Gave it a good going over and test before going back.

 

I fired up when I filled the tank before I even touched it and was sitting in a. Shed for a few years.

 

Edit: it had a problem with the off switch. I wasn't working but after a clean up worked fine.

The farmer's version (65 with little or no AV and probably same line as the 280cd) in the late 70s was distinct from the ones that shared parts with Jonsereds ( 162 and 621), this 61 then came from that stable.

 

I think the 162 then formed the basis for the 266 272, whille the 262 evolved from the 140-254 line.

From what I can remember yep I agree

 

The 61 was never a pro saw but it was and is a good saw for firewood etc got torq etc it not a flier just a good steady saw.

 

 

Husky got the front seat when they were bought out hence the orange saws tended to be pushed more but there are good jonnyreds to I just nearly always used and use husky lol I got a love for the old ones lol
