New to me XL-12

[texican65]

Man....she looks sweet! I found one at a yard sale last year for $40....I offered the man $30 and he told me to take a hike. I came back 10 minutes later to give him 40 and it was gone. I shoulda bought it. I'm jealous but happy for ya good buddy! Let us know how she cuts.

This guy has the chain too tight but the sound is similar to mine.....it screams louder w a looser chain and does not hop at idle when set on a stump.

I ended up putting a muffler on mine...still loud compared to newer saws.

Ok I need a little help now.
I took the drum off to see if I can get a new one and this what I found.

Now can anyone tell me the part number for new shoes and is there a drum that is easily found. Or can I convert it to a rim setup.
I am not going to use this saw a lot but I like to be able to keep it going for as long as I can.

I have seen they changed the clutch and drum a few times over the years so I don't know what I got, or what to replace it with.

About any shop that's been in business will have a used one they'll sell you. If not, you can find them most times on ebay. I think the XL12 and Super XL and several others use the same clutch. I'd buy the whole clutch rather than trying to find a shoe, especially a new one that isn't worn down to match the others. Shouldn't be hard to find at all.

Thanks...that's what I was thinking. I have one shop in town that has been around a long time, I am going to stop there next week and see what they got.

Most of them that I've had don't look like yours, they have a spring pushing on each shoe rather than the one spring. Yours looks like an older version. The newer ones should fit right on.
