Yeah if there was one available locally for a good price I'd most likely buy it. I'd eventually want the extra grunt from the 346 tho, got used to that after a while. I did a lot of firewood for myself and other people and had a nice old 272 for the really big stuff but in practice used the 346 most of the time. Wood stove will be my only source of heat in the old cottage I've moved to, initially at least, and there's a fair bit right here to process straight away. I can hang on until something decent comes up, no rush, but the weather is good just now and I'm off work for a bit so would be nice to make a start and get a bit done now.

Nooooo.. I want noisey petrol saw lol And yes permission granted. I've moved to an old estate and all the land is owned by my landlord who is happy for me to cut anything felled or dead standing, as long as I give him some firewood too..

Well the guy wants 60 quid for it so maybe worth a look after all

That settles that then. Nothing like that available local right now so I'll hang on I think. Had several 346xp's and really fond of that saw but can't find any for sale that don't appear knackered or been rebuilt with Chinese parts. I've even done some basic porting on these saws (I believe using instructions posted here by your good self, was long ago tho...)and know them pretty well. If anyone selling here I'd be interested, I can delay some other stuff I need to buy if the right deal is going, Thanks for all the help from everyone so far

Yeah I hear ya, always maintained my own saws myself, but only Huskys. No idea of the problems associated with old Jonsereds or difficulties getting parts. It's listed as a Jonsereds 64 and looks well used and looks a vintage saw. I like vintage saws but don't want to collect big ol doorstops, been there. Interested know if worth checking out, and maybe known problems, or avoid. It would become a backup saw at any rate as soon as I get something else. I'm not really in a hurry but got the itch to get going again with all those felled trees just waiting. Anyway here's the saw, pictures not great

I'd rather go 2nd hand for something that is known to work, which is why I stuck with older pro saws in the past. It's easy enough to tell when u see most of them if they've really been beaten within an Inch of their lives. My budget is non existent right now as I've just moved house and had to buy everything inside more or less all at once. However there is a fair bit of previously felled Ash and elm from some time ago 2 mins from my door and it's sitting there mocking me 😅 I'll pass on the Northern tools job I think as I've just seen a Jonsered for sale even closer and still cheap. Was running when last used, think it's one of the original ones. I'd appreciate everyone's views on that saw too but unsure whether to stick it in here or start a new thread?

If its a Chinese made thing I wouldn't even consider it, I know how bad they are. The only thing I can get online is the Northern tool brand is based in Milwaukee USA but their website is blocked from the UK. They make chain sharpners and other small engine stuff but no mention of chainsaws. This is why I wondered if it is rebadged. They have a shop on Ebay uk but again, no chainsaws. I will message them there but I was interested to see if anyone knew anything here. Probably a Chinese made saw with their sticker on it tho.

Hi everyone, my first post here although I've read a lot of useful info from the community over a few years. I used to cut a lot of firewood about 5 years ago but moved to a home without a wood stove so sold my chainsaws, 272xp, 346xp, rancher 50. I've now got the pleasure of a wood stove again in another new place! Intending getting another 346xp or similar when I can afford it but I keep an eye on the local ads for anything cheap to do me in the meantime. Soo.... I saw this for sale but can't find any info on it at all... Appears to be a 'Northern tool 51220E' saw. It looks brand new, seller said used maybe 6x, and it's 80 quid. Does anyone have any experience with this brand or saw? Is it a rebadged something I've heard of or is it a cheap something that will break and be impossible to get spares for? Thanks in advance for any help with this, Ric
