Good to know...I'd like to keep running it some here and there and so I'll need to find parts somewhere sooner or later. Biggest problem with running it is getting my hearing protection geared up: ear plugs and ear muffs and then two dense foam pillows gorilla-taped to the sides of my head...

Yep, it's marked "XL-12...Lightest saw in the Famous XL Series", or some such thing. (Don't know that I could handle the heaviest.)...I think Grandpa told me it was made in '64; could be wrong...I cranked it up and trimmed a few low limbs with it about three years ago and it ran just fine.
