Partner P 7700 - the missing link

[MS460WOODCHUCK]

This is what I thought, just wanted it to be confirmed.

 

[SawTroll]

A while ago, I found a 1991 Jonsered document that said these saws were made at the Husky factory in Sweden, despite there was no Husky version.

Supposed to go look at a Jred 2083 in a bit . Is parts still available for these saws?

Documentation is always appreciated

I guess it depends what parts your looking for. I know somethings are.

......... .

The document actually said that most of the Jonsered saws were made at the Husky factory by that time, long before they became rebranded Husky models.......

Any way to tell what year a 2083 turbo is? Looks like the ID tag is different than the newer Jreds.

Different in what way?

The numbering system has been changed two times since then, but otherwise I believe it looks normal for the time?

Post the numbers on the tag, and I am sure it can be dated!

Surely it is!

 

[komatsuvarna]

I figured it was a little older than that, but I guess it aint!

Some more info on that model "family", link.

A while ago, I found a 1991 Jonsered document that said these saws were made at the Husky factory in Sweden, despite there was no Husky version.

An update on that, based on more knowledge - all Swedish made Partner and Jonsered saws were made at the Husky factory from some time in 1987.

Is the Partner 660 the same as the Poulan Pro 415?

415 or 425 or both, not sure (= have no idea) what the difference is.

Edit; It might be the "Super Clean" that makes the difference........

Early P660 = PP415

Late P660 = PP425 (with fully developed "Air Injection"/ "Super Clean").

 

[SawTroll]

To sum up the rest of the "family";

The 70.7cc P710/PP445 and the 82.4cc 2083/PP505 all were "late" saw, meaning they had the fully developed "Air Injection".

Early P7700 = early 2077 = PP475.

Late P7700 = late 2077 = 2083 II (US only). No PP version of that one.

 

[SawTroll]

Now I have one remaining question to ask, and that is if some, or all, the 65cc ones were quads - or not?

Partner P 7700 - the missing link !&?

Some time ago I found this http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...6adf5cb67508fb4c88256e0e0078a865?OpenDocument
..in the Stolen Saws section at CSCC.

Except for the colour, it reminds me very much of the Jonsered 2077, which reputedly was "inherited" by Jred from Partner after E-lux takeover. I have never heard that the saw was marketed as a Partner.

Serial number starts with a 4, wich indicates 1994, doesn't it? As the 2077 was avaliable before that, in my mind it indicates that the Partner saw was NOT a prototype, but a production saw!

Another option could be that it indeed is a prototype, made in 1984. I am not quite certain of the E-lux numbering system

Does anyone know more about this?

Edit; We got closer to the truth later in the thread - read on!

Hi. I just stumbled on this thread searching for information on an engineering prototype saw I got to try out in Huskvarna, Sweden in 1988 .

The test results were 3.1 kW (usually 4.2 hp), and 5.5 kg for the 254xp.
For the 357xp they were 3.0 kW (usually 4.1 hp), and 5.9 kg.

I have been reluctant to refer to the tested power output of the 357xp, as the test saw(s?) were of very early production, and there are a lot of indications that the model generally doesn't have .2 kW less output than Huskys rating.

I have no reason to believe that the weight difference isn't typical, though.

The results also tell us that the 254xp had a lot more vibrations at the rear handle, under load, than the 357xp.

I'm joining in very late in the conversation but this post might answer this and other questions above. https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/husqvarna-254-vs-154.182859/#post-6810525

Thanks, that confirms parts of the story that we has worked out here!
