jonsered 2071, 2171 question

How different are the jonsered 2171 and the 2071? I know the Husqvarna equilivent to the 2171 is the 371, Im wondering the Husqvarna equilivent to the 2071, Is it the 372,371,or more like the 27(X)saws? I checked Acres but there was not much info there. Thanks for any help.

I thought that it was 372=2171 and 371=2071 I believe.:monkey:

Correct

From what I understand "21" denotes pro saw and "20" denotes home owner saw take that for what you will.

The 20XX saws just came before the 21XX saws. The 2171 replaced the 2071. The 2150 replaced the 2050. The 2071 and 2171 are almost the same. The 2050 and 2150 are completely different.

The 2171 has a side tensioner. The 2071 does not. I have heard there are internal (crank and/or case) differences between the two, but I don't know for sure.

Right, the case was beefed up in some place in the crank area, as far as I know.

Thanks for correcting me, just something that I had heard not too familiar with the jreds.

As stated the 2071 is the equivalant of the 371 and the 2171 is the 372.

All the parts will interchange, the biggest noticable differences are the side chain adjuster and semi transparent fuel tank on the newer 2171, just like the 372. The 371 did not have the side adjuster or transparent fuel tank.

The adj side cover swap is easy on the older ones, just remove the on board chain adjuster and bolt the new cover on

I still can't tell the difference between the tanks. The transparent ones do have a little more "shine" to them when they are new.

They modify the crank too on pto side where the clutch sit.They add a small taper on the crank on 372 to stop the crank breakage on certain 371.
