I think all the 925's had the manual oiler plunger attached to the rear handle case instead of on the right side of the air box.

Now I am really confused.. There's a news flash, hu? I'll take a pick cuz (well),,, cuz I can.. I love learning new stuff.. There is more than just the comp-release. Got linkage, and springs, and hoses, and I just don't really know till i finish dinner. Must lock-up anyway. We have a real mystery..

Tim, here's what I have.. The 103. And then the 925 I think. Can't find a model #, so assume it a 925. Set me straight if you know. Just love to learn.
The recoil cover looks like it might be from an XL-870 or XL-875

Would there be any ##"S stamped on it?
Tim,
I am only seeing that maybe the 870 and 903 came with the HS56A carb. Does this sound correct?
I will pull the recoil off this afternoon and have a look in there too.
No idea. I don't have any application charts from back then, I think when Tillotson updated their charts they would put whatever the current correct model would be so the original carb may not be not on the charts.
I looked at a couple of them and didn't see any reference to the HS-56 carb
The 901, 903, 904 IPL calls for an HS-56A That's as far as I went.
I noticed the Acres site didn't show the 56 as the carb but maybe they were looking at a given model year. I did see the 903 and 870 cited elsewhere. Will keep digging.
There will likely be a number cast in on the inside. That likely won't help as it won't show on any IPL's as it wasn't sold as a raw casting. It would be part of a sub assembly with screen, cord bushing, pin etc. I had a look in a spare and I see A-63010 cast in (from a 902AM). I'll bet they all have that. Not sure though.
I couldn't get the clutch off without a puller. Looks like there is a plastic baffle behind it though so assuming there's an oil pump behind the baffle?

Thanks, I'll have a look

My 924 has a plastic baffle hiding the auto oiler underneath it.
Edit: I lied, found a photo, the oiler lives on top of the plastic baffle, you should be able to see it easily around the clutch.

I figured that was a little different.
The shield is also the gasket for the oil pump to the case.

And I agree..I've saved several saws but have lost a few also
Moving forward in the game of “whatisit” on my Homelite, I got it freed up and took the cylinder off. It had seized due to moisture/corrosion and the bore on this cylinder is quite good. The piston may even be salvageable. Haven’t been able to get the clutch off yet but put some oil on the threads and letting it sit.
Part number 63012....2” bore so it’s narrowed down to 700 or 901. How do I determine it from there?
