My Dad's old Homelite Super XL Automatic, with original 20" bar. I got it back from my nephew, who'd first borrowed it from my Dad and then wandered away with it after he died 3 years ago.
In the interim he destroyed the 2 chains and Oregon bar I'd bought for it 15 years ago and then put it on the shelf because he couldn't find a replacement at WalMart. That was its salvation, because he can usually #### up an anvil and I figured the old saw was toast.
Lo and behold, it looks pretty good and runs great after only minor carb tinkering and some fresh gas.:greenchainsaw:

I'm ordering another bar & chain, spare clutch drum/sprocket and airfilter for it so I can run it once in a while.
I believe it's from the late 1970's and is one of the later versions of this model, but any more info would be appreciated, including where I might find a proper sset of bucking spikes (dawgs) for it.
Thanks. -WSJ
