I also wondered about the "Rancher" inserts on the handle of the gray top I bought. I just picked it up this morning from the older gentlman who told me he bought it new in 84.

I just went out and looked at it and the serial # is 5413858. The owners manual states 1985, maybe the owners memory was close to when he bought it.

This was a craigslist find that I jumped on at first chance. Came with all the extras, chains, files, wedges, helmet etc.

Another one from 1985 week 41............

............but Eds is the newest one......

That's a real coincidence that those two saws were manufactured the same week! At least I get to say I have a newer saw then someone around here

what would be a fair price for these two saws if I put them up on ebay or the trading post? Both are runners the 1985 Rancher needs a clutch face plate to be %100 as the old one is showing wear and the homelite is in great shape.

If anyone has any intrest in these saws I am going to be putting hem up forsale soon. cheers..

Why do you want to sell these Chain Saws? Why not keep them? Or do they not have any Centamental Value to them? I have 4 Chain Saws, that I will Never sell for this reason. My Great Uncle was the Original Owner of 3 of these Chain Saws, Mac 10-10 Automatic, Pro Mac 60, and a Mini Mac 30. My Dad was the Original Owner of the Pro Mac 700, and Both of these Men, taught me a lot about Chain Saws
I cut wood with them still everyday, but once I get my Stihl 044 Over Hauled, they won't get used much, except the Mini Mac 30, for Fire Wood Production. Yes they will still get used, but not as much as they are now, because of their weight. They are almost too heavy for me to use. Bruce.

I inherited both these saws as they hadn't been used for quite some time and neither hold any Sentimental Value to me. I guess the Super XL has been in my family for awhile as my mother purchased it for my father but he still has 20-30 old saws. It's just another saw bruce, perhaps if it was an older pro mac or something along those lines I may be more intending to hold onto it.



does anyone have any advice about having no spark from one of these old homelites? This thing fired two years ago when it ws stored but now it won't spark at all .
