Are you talking about the bar tail? If so, they're identical. Both saws (the 1050 and the 1130G) use the old Oregon F014 mount.

Bar Mount Pattern: 16

The bar mounting pad on each saw is similar, with the gear drive being in front of the saw case (and contacting the left side of the bar) rather than the right side. Also, the gear drive uses a small bar clamp/adjuster setup, as opposed to a clutch cover. They both use 3/8" studs with the same spacing. If I remember I'll shoot a pic of my Super XP1130's bar mount pad and clamp/adjuster block. The gear drives (XP-1100, XP-1130, Super XP-1130, 1130G, Super 1130G, 3100G) should be able to use the same 'adaptor' as the direct drive saws in the series.

These saws all use a different bar mount pattern than the 450/550/650/750, SXL-925, etc. Those use the Oregon D196/Windsor UXL pattern. I don't think I've ever compared stud spacing on those to the large frame (C-series, XP-1000 thru 1130G series, 2000/2100/3100G series, etc) saws. They do both use 3/8" studs. The Early XL-700/800 saws (and early XL-12/Super XL) used 5/16" studs.

I was more looking for the bar plate retention screw like a 650 has. I have been thinking about making the homelite adapter like a rubber band and doing without the retention screw slot so that they could be more universal.
 
love your craftsmanship mike!

You know I'll have to get my hands one one of those... I like showing off your work to others that stop by the shop. ;)

The large frame saws don't have a bar plate retention screw.
 
Had a request to see if these adapters will work on husky small mount saws...

Yes they will BUT, the tensioner hole will not line up nor will the oil groove. These saws also do not have the shoulder for the wider mount like a large mount saw so the adapter is a lil sloppy.

The saw pictured is a 350.

A lot of work on the bar would be needed, even if you made adaptors that fit the 8.2mm studs - and I'm still not convinced it is possible at all......

It would be nice if someone proved me wrong! :msp_smile:

Very high quality piece here. I was very impressed with mine.....................and am eagerly awaiting the release of the Homelite adaptors. On that front.....................................it may be a good idea to produce a 14mm version for the large frame Homelites, as that'd allow use of large Stihl and Dolmar mount bars, which have a tail profile that more closely matches the old F014 mount bars used on those big boys.

The 'medium' Stihl mount (12mm slot as used on the 661 on down) bar tail more closely matches the D096/D196/UXL type bars used on Homelite XL-900 series and 450/550/650/750 saws.

On another tangent....................a 5/16" inner slot version (for use with 12mm slot bars) would be great for the Poulans (245/306, 3400-4000 and 4200-5400 CounterVibes) and Homelites (XL-700/800 series) that had 5/16" studs rather than 3/8 studs.
 
Thank you Aaron for the feedback.

I finally got some fires put out here at work and momma tore her ACL and meniscus so we meet with the surgeon tomorrow and see what the next step is.

I hope to be cranking the homelite adapters out soon!!
 
Very nice work sir. Glad to see that these are being made available for all of us saw owners. I personally like the 70's and 80's era saws to keep running.
I think your prices are very fair too!
