I would bet that there were more XL-12, Super XL 12, XL Auto chainsaws produced than any other model of chainsaw period! Every body who lived out in the sticks had one in the 60's, 70's and even the 80's. They are still a dam fine saws if you don't mind the numb hands after running one for a while. Some had problems with the case bolts backing out and locking up the flywheel. I have gotten several given to me by people who thought the P/C was toast and seized up and the only thing wrong was a bolt had backed out and locked the flywheel. A good one with good paint will bring good money on Ebay.
