My Collection

[OnlyHomelites]

Well I was cleaning up my saws this weekend, doing all of the maintenance to get them in top shape for the next season. Since I had them out of the attic, figured I'd snap a pic. On the back, far left is an XL-400 I repainted. The middle back is an XL-870, which isn't much different than a SXL-925. It looks like crap, but it's got 150 PSI compression and runs that 27" chain like a raped-ape! The Super XL on the far right was what I put my time into yesterday; I bought the saw about 13 years ago and since then I must've cut over 50 cords with it. So I decided to be nice and treat it to a fresh set of rings (really didn't need them once I got into it), new clutch, new sprocket rim, fresh body parts, carb kit etc... Now it's back to 3-pull cold starts like when it was new! The Super 2's up front are good limbing, brushing and general dirty work saws. Anyhow, here's my obsession!

Nice pack of ground pounders you got there...Anti Vibe all the way

Antivibe: Thick gloves and a couple beers when done cutting.

Seriously though, thanks for the comments; there's something satisfying about bringing in the wood year after year with these old saws!

Nice group of Homelites! I've been meaning to ask how you like the XL-400? Can you tell a big difference between it and the SXL?

Got a question on the color scheme on the XL-870. One of my XL-12's has that same red, green and white, and a chrome muffler. What time frame did Homelite use these colors?

I have a C-91 that uses the red/green. Its from the mid 60s. Most Homelites I'm aware of with reg/green are from early to late 60s. Mr. Acres site shows the Xl-870 as manufactured in '69.

Not all Homelites but more than anything else.
