I couldn't resist picking this up tonight. Other than it's complete and has great compression I haven't touched it yet.

Nice, Tim!
Another Christmas Tree saw!
Another Christmas Tree saw!
Ho Ho Ho Ted!
I like the other one I have but it's much rougher. Light and cuts fast but alas, only 77cc. We weren't allowed to have 82cc saws beacause of the in-breeding on the west coast. It resulted in tree huggers.

Here's the recipe Lee. Grab a Homelite A-65987 clutch drum (2 on ebay right now for 10 bucks) and one standard .325 9 pin rim sprocket. Use your existing needle bearing and clutch. (Note: U must use the "S" type clutch. A 3 shoe will not work). Toss it all on and match with a .325 58 gauge Husqvarna small mount. Top it off with a 72 loop of your choice. Walla! Serve with chips!

Anybody else see that Homelite 995G got $1600 on feepay?

Yes I saw it. I thought about biding on it when it it was around $400 but did not.
I hate to get that kind of money for any of my saws..ebay bidders will send it back if it has a scratch on it, even if you listed it in your ad...buyers remorse or wife pressure I guess.

That saw should run a 28-32" bar well.

I would like to put a 28 on it. There are a few nice nos 28 homelite bars on ebay. You think it will pull a 28 with authority? If not I think I will keep the 24 on it.

Nothing wrong with running a 24" on it...........but it'll definitely run a 28" without trouble if it's healthy. My SXL-925 ran the heck out of a 28" bar wearing full comp semi-chisel in oak. A 550 is a stronger saw than a 925.
Tim , You've got it BAD! You have to leave a few for the rest of folk up here in the snow belt! Didi you also get that XL67 in Guelph?I couldn't resist picking this up tonight. Other than it's complete and has great compression I haven't touched it yet.
You are in line for a "You Suck"

I have searched high and low for about 6 months looking for a muffler. After giving up on the search this is what I came up with.
Many thanks z50guru. I'll start collecting the required bits and bobs. Happy Thanksgiving!Here's the recipe Lee.

Thanks Lee. No, I left that XL-67 for someone else to enjoy.

Got the 923 all buttoned up, will have to tune in the wood on account of the governed carb. Thought I would get a pic of big and little sence I have new bars for both.
