The old vertical cylinder Homelites were well made and very durable, they were also very loud.
Kinda funny that chainsaws devolved back to the vert cyl layout.

That saw looks like it could star in its own "Alien" movie.

Old style bucking spikes, we called them clawhammer spikes.

I believe Sheldon (torinocobra) has a set of those on his 8-29, impressive for sure.
Hey Randy what saw is that?
Ok so I can't put 2 & 2 together! Well played Randy! There was a reason for me asking though! Back in a couple minutes!
Ok I thought I had something that resembled that saw. Or atleast what I want it to look like some day. Some skinny legged guy gifted me these a couple years ago. Gonna try and make one runner out of the two!

That is an awesome Saw! I love the way you have it displayed also! Wasn't the 8-29 the largest Saw Homelite ever produced?

Yup, the 7-29 & 8-29 are 129cc belt drives.

Do you have any homelites with the selectable high low gearbox?

Nope, selectable gear drives are very hard to find, even here in the PNW. I believe they were only on the 770g model but am not positive on that.

Haven't seen the ''stick shift'', Lee has one.
I rarely keep the rare and valuable, I pass them on to those who appreciate them.
At one point I had about a hundred saws, whittled it down to around 30, still need to cull the herd.

I spy with my little eye a few West Bends in that collection!
Randy, those dogs look pretty intimidated by that saw. LOL

CAD...The struggle is real.
So work was anything but fun today...TGIF. After work today was pretty awesome though. I stopped by a local thrift store on my way home and managed to score some things that interest me for real cheap. 2 axe heads and 2 wedges for ten bucks. When I got home I became even happier when my wife had already opened and displayed my new hatchet. P.S. Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
