Opinions on A Johnny 2159

[Jet47]

I have a chance to buy a very good looking Jonsered 2159 for $100. I don't really need it as I already have a 550xp, 562xp, 372 and 2171. Anybody out there have a 2159, and do you like it?

Thanks in advance for any info.

I like mine. I'd pay $100 for a good one in a heart beat. Same saw as a 359, same saw as a 357 but without crank stuffers. Same saw as a 555 or 2260 without AT or crank stuffers. Damn good saw with a 18" bar. Some might scoff because I believe the cylinders are cheaper (chineese?) than the 357 or 2260 but they seem to be reliable.

2260 is the small mount 562xp/560xp. The 2258 is the same as the 555

Stop trying to discredit my 2260[emoji1]

Thanks guys.

The price seems good. Even though I have little interest in 60cc saws, I paid $80 for a nice 359 (with extras) that I did not need. It has earned its keep, and will make me money if I sell it.

I'd buy it for that price needed or not!

Completely different saw, except for being close in cc size.

Also as a different cylinder than a 357xp.

Thanks again guys. Bought the saw, didn't even try to beat her down, just handed her the $100. The saw started on 3rd pull. Lots of compression.

Check to make sure it has a metal clamp on the intake. If it has the plastic clamp, it will leak eventually.

 

[Jet47]

Thanks, I will do that tonight.

Nice buy man. You could easily double or triple your money without trying.

Nice looking saw. If it has the green gas cap,mod the muffler.Wish I had kept mine but didn't know anything about modding at the time.
