Homelite Super XL/XL-12 full wrap?

[watsonr]

Anybody ever heard of or seen a full wrap for an Super XL or an XL-12 saw. Just knowing how popular this saw was is surprising to know that they may have never made one.

Anybody seen or heard of one?

 

[RandyMac]

I have never seen one. You could get 10-10s with full wraps.

I have never seen a SXL or XL12 with a full wrap but I have seen a Super EZ auto with one, one of the members here has one. It may be possible that a full wrap is available out there somewhere.

I'm pretty sure I've got one or two here with full wraps.....Must a been a "West Coast Thing"!!:hmm3grin2orange:

We need pictures!!

Give me 10 minutes or so.....I'll post a Mac 10-10 with a wrap like RandyMac mentioned too.

 

[jockeydeuce]

OK.....Here you go

Mac 10-10........

Homey XL12.........

 

[Roanoker494]

Thanks for the pictures Jockeydeuce. I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever seen either of those saws with a full wrap handlebar.

I've got a XL-850 with a 3/4 wrap handle.

Homey XL12.........

Nice wrap on the 10-10.....but the red one is a Super EZ, oops.

I've seen them on the EZ and the 925/944/955 and am on the hunt for one for my Super EZ, but the Super XL...even though it was the most sold saw in history, it was a home owner saw and did spawn tons of models. I've never seen a wrap handle for one. Someone may have an aftermarket one they did special.

Thanks for the pictures, that's an old 10-10.

Well there you go......I'm no Homelite expert, but I thought that was an XL.:msp_blushing:

I've got a couple 800 or 900 series Homeys (Like an XL902 or similar) with full wraps too, but I imagine that was common......I worked on a guy's XL-76 a couple weeks ago and it had a full wrap too.

I've seen full-wrap bars on the E-Z/Super E-Z series and the XL76-130 series saws. Those (and the 10-10's) were as much 'homeowner models' as the XL12/SXL-AO.

Homelite made water pumps, generators, cutoff saws, grinders, augers, and brushcutters with the XL12 powerhead. I've seen all kinds of strange 'attachments' for them.........but never a full-wrap handlebar. Who knows.....

McCulloch made larger displacement saws that shared handlebar mounting dimentions (5-10, 7-10, CP70, SP80, SP81, etc). Homelite didn't make saws of greater displacement that shared handlebar mounting dimentions with the XL12/SXL-AO (other than the briefly sold XL400 and XL500). It made sense for McCulloch to make a full-wrap handlebar that'd fit such a wide range of saws.

As confused as I am regarding why Homelite appears to 'never' have sold full-wrap bars for the XL12/SXL saws...............................I'm even more confused as to why the did sell them for the little E-Z/SE-Z and the XL76-130 saws. Other than the 'coolness factor'...................I'm not really sure what practical need there was for full-wraps on those saws. The E-Z/S E-Z saws were firewood/limbing/brush/arborist/bucket saws in their day. You don't see full-wraps on MS200's and MS200T's now.......

 

[watsonr]

Probably get one made.

To my eyes, that red saw looks more like an XL76-XL130 series saw than an E-Z/S E-Z or XL12/SXL series saw. Hard to tell from that angle, with a saw that's missing the recoil cover.

 

[watsonr]

the hump before the air filter cover says its not XL-12. I'll buy a 76-130 series saw for sure!

 

[Eccentric]

Just ran out to the garage and looked at my Super E-Z. The red saw in the pic above is an XL76-130 saw and not of the E-Z family. I'm 100% sure of it.

The E-Z family saws have the top of the saw all flush from the front of the tank, on back over the AF cover. The carb box/AF area on the pictured saw is raised up. The handlebar bracket is different too...

My Super E-Z Auto. Ignore the little creamsicle to the left of it...

 

[watsonr]

After looking at mine and now yours, you sir are right. XL-76 through130, hump says it all.

 

[jockeydeuce]

Can anyone actually tell me what my full wrap saw is by the tag #??

 

[Eccentric]

Not me, as I don't have a UT# list. Some of the listings on Acres' site have UT#s.....but not all. Still, this would be my guess:

Homelite Super XL-130 listing on Acres' site. Art Patterson's beautiful saw in the pics. Notice the full-wrap bar...

Model Profile: SUPER XL-130

Those saws look like an E-Z or a 'shrunken' XL925. They're 3.55ci, and take the same bars as Homelite E-Z (not the same as the XL12/SXL/XL925) and mid-size Husky's (such as the 55 and the 262).


Look at Art's XL-76. Stunning...

Here's an XL-75 listing (I thought the series started at "76"....learn something new every day) that does have the UT#. Notice that it's just a bit lower than yours. Another indication that you probably have a Super XL-130.
