That info would be great. I have a 1965 xl auto that has 5/16 bar studs would like to find a original bar for it so I do not have to use the spacers. The oringinal bar is stamped Homelite 11612050. I have not been able to cross to any thing.

Where did you find that jewel, I would like to have a red one to keep my blue one from feeling lonely.

Hi Jim! Merry Christmas! How are you these days?
Long story short: I spotted it on the grand Rapids CL ... a very generous AS member went and grabbed it .... passed it off to another member (from CO) that was passing through .... he tossed it to me about a week ago ...

Merry Christmas Ted, nice score, Struggle picked up a red one this summer. These saws have amazing torque for their size. Doing pretty good health wise for a old man, but in bad need of a attitude adjustment.

My late father would prescribe whiskey and popcorn for that.
He was always in a good mood!

Hey y'all get this ol' Xl-98 off of ebay a couple weeks ago for $73 
I looked her over and lightly cleaned didn't see anything wrong with the fuel lines or carb so I put gas in the tank primed it and she was off although I haven't gotten the carb dialed in it has the governed carb
cylinder is a little ruff but it runs good other than the carb needing to be adjusted.

On the Homelite belt drives, 2100 series, and 650/750 saws, the bearing on one side of the crank has an external snap ring groove for a couple screw and washers that help hold it in the crankcase. Is it okay to use a bearing that doesn't have this groove?
In short no.
The screws use a washer with ears that engage the snap ring groove. Controls any axial movement of the bearing.

Okay, I haven't measure to check interference, but the bearing to crankcase is definitely an interference fit. It seems like it is the same scenario as more modern saws, which I haven't seen this setup. Not trying to say that the engineers didn't know what they were doing, but I know there has been a learning curve (650 with two needle roller bearing, belt drives with needle bearing on the FW side and ball bearing on pto side, for examples). In the end, I have crossed all of the bearings in all models of big homelites to modern part numbers- except one- the 750 pto bearing. That Torrington DD series bearing is unique it seems
