Jonsereds 1020 what are your thoughts on this saw are they very collectable and worth there money
Thanks

Nice series of saws. Not overly fast but they are well built, pull well and are fairly smooth from my experience with the R440 and P100. Some say they are underpowered given their displacement when compared with competitors from the same era. The 1020 is the same as a P100 Super.

I would say the Jonsereds are by far the rarest. Would be worth a few bills to someone if in sound cosmetic and working condition.

I got chance of one are parts still available

Basically not, but most of them likely can be found.

There was a McCulloch version (Power Mac 1000) as well, which one is rarest of the 1020 and that one may depend on where you are.

I was going to list this 630 but iv been through it and believe its low hrs regardless of its age. Thin 2 ring piston /no real marks and cold is showing 170psi. Jonsereds are not so common here so think il keep this for a while and get properly aquatinted . The "West Mac" decal ...west coast iv found ...not West Mac, any ideas folks ?

I bet it does run good.

The 630 is heavier than the new 60cc saws, but I believe you will enjoy using it.

Its about a lb more than my 262 (both on 20") but with the thinner hoop handle it feels different. I will drop it down to a 15" and give it a go on the ash sticks that will be winched out soon. Thinning out timber so most is 10-14 in diameter and a reducing cut works fine on 20" timber anyhow with a 15 " bar.

For about 10 years, my big saw was a 625 which was a little lower rpm and hp than the 630. Since I didn't have the internet then, I cut up some 30" wood with that saw. Now thanks to the internet I realize I need at least a 90 cc saw for that size wood. Later I got a used 670 which is definitely a nice step up in power from the 625.

30 in diam timber ..even green takes a bit of grunt for sure. I would like a few more JR's if i can find them ...a 630 supper 11 or the husq 372 equivalent Jonsered would be achievable i think . JR have pulled out of the UK i believe as a stand alone brand so new saws are no longer really available and second hand there fairly rare.

For many years my only saw was a 621 with 16" and 24" bars. I did normally remember to change the sprocket from 8 to 7 T when putting on the longer bar. That particular saw was run hard for 26 years before I finally failed the PTO side bearing and spit a few balls up through the transfers.

I would say 26 yrs isn't a bad service record before major meltdown .

I need some Jonsered advise.
I know zero about them.
One of my saw buddies out west is going to send me some pics of a "big, old, Jonsereds" from the late 60's supposedly 100+ CCs
anything I should be looking for? rare models ro anything to make one stand out as a collectible?
I don't need more projects but its hard to turn down something cool
Dave

 

[mdavlee]

111 is one. I think another is a 1020. Need to page Lee

 

[Lee H]

If it's over 100cc's and made in the 70's it could be the 110, 111, 111S.
If it's older it could be a Jonsereds XF @ 110cc's.

 

[Definitive Dave]

Are those desirable models if inwas gonna buy it and have it restored for gtg and display?
Dave

 

[Lee H]

A big yes.

 

[Definitive Dave]

My tongue and braiN may be out of sync
The pioneer 750 is over 100cc but he sent me pics of a lot of saws and they are not all 100+ cc
There are 2 clean looking Jonseredss
70e and 49sp
The pioneer 2400 is not cool looking
There is a Frontner mark 1 which is an odd looking saw
PM330 looks interesting
Sachs 112, p52 plus, clean Stihl 011 avt still has recoil sticker, dirty. It decent looking 048ave

Just picked up this 801 and this 90. I will rebuild the carb on the 801 and see how it runs soon! The 90 went down sometime in the 80's, so I doubt it has much hope, but I will look into it anyway. Hopefully the cylinder will be salvageable. If the they were both perfect, which would be the preferred model to have?
