Pulled the trigger on this - Jonsered 2077 Turbo West Coast Version

I know,I know.....I need serious help http://www.ebay.com/itm/121570765051?_trksid=p2059210.m2750.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Same Seller I bought my Mac SP125C from in April 2013,he's a stand up guy.


First a little boring backstory - From April 1994 to Nov 2011 I owned the yellow/black clone of this beast - Poulan Pro 475 with 36" .063 gauge bar that I bought new for my first serious milling saw.77cc,12,500RPM of screaming power & arm breaking compression (no decomp valve either)

Knew that the big older Poulan's aren't easy to find since they were only sold a few years after the Electrolux takeover in the late 80's.Missed the 475,still kicking myself for selling it (kept a few pics & a short video of it running ). And always wanted a big Jred someday also.

So here we are 3+ yrs later.Still hope to find a nice 475 again sometime,there's one on ebay right now,not near as nice as my original one + its actually a 415 instead,you can clearly see both the black ID tag & the sticker on starter recoil says that instead of 475.For that reason alone I chose not to bid on the thing.Call me petty & nitpicking,but I don't care....

I have run the 475 and the 505 in the Poulan colors and they are strong runners.

 

Looks like a nice saw! I was watching that one also, and it was all I could do to keep from clicking the button every time I looked at it.

 

Those are real strong running saws on parts with the modern saws for power. I would like to find one set up like that myself.

 

Sweet !!

 

Great looking saw!

 

I see they used a redneck idea I used too for a clutch cover from a husky.

 

Awesome! Can't wait to hear how you like it.

 

NOS metal jonsered cover instead of the plastic ones and NOS outer small dawg I like.

 

Yup. You do need help. But that is a good thing in these parts friend. LOFL Nice saw you bought there!

 

I have a PP 475 that I rebuilt. Split the case, new bearings, piston and rings thanks to cut4fun.
The saw runs very strong. I have a 28" bar for it and have had it buried and the saw performed very well.

I also have a Jred 2083. I really like those family of saws.
I can see why you went for it. I also have a 505 with that same clutch cover.
Congrats on the saw.

 

One of these days I'll be hitting one of you guys up for a good used Jonsered clutch cover. It might be awhile though since I've splurged a bit much since getting tax refunds 3 weeks ago.


Already have the outer spike located.

 

Those large spikes are cheap and new still. $12.

 

Just in case. Have you seen the pics and thread on the real west coast versions? Decals, air filter set ups etc.

There was jonsered and poulan versions. Poulan one the rarest.

Last one they had,its going on my shelf.Otherwise it would get filthy & be trashed within a month.

 

Yea I would do the same. I like wearing them but they do not last long.
Nice looking hat.

 

Nice score. Love those big Jreds! Jeez same guy has a 2094 for a decent price too, ack! Thanks got the CAD fired up over here.

 

Where? I just checked his listings & see nothing.Unless it sold immediately overnight.....

 

Not sure, it was was on one of the picture links below the listing.
