At first glance I thought it was a Homelite XL.
My first saw was a Homelite Super 2, and I cut all the wood to heat my house with it for several years. (14" b+c)
Then I got a Homelite 330 and did the same. (20" b+c)
In Dec '92 I got my Stihl 10 mm 044 from a place that was liquidating their inventory. They did not want to sell me the saw because I was not a pro. I asked why they did not want to sell it to me and they said "It cuts too fast". I replied "That is exactly what I need".
The 044 was my only saw for 18 years, and I never used either Homelite ever again. In addition to cutting much faster, the 044 was also smoother and trouble free. Not a year went by that the recoils on those Homelites did not give me problems.
Also, after using them on a cold day, my hands would not stop vibrating for quite some time. That never happened to me with the Stihl.

About that time my brother got some free wood delivered, that included some huge Red Oak rounds.
I remember we were both amazed at how well my 044 noodled them (my brother subsequently purchased a 460).
Mechanic Matt was just a little tyke back then, but his Dad and I always stuck with Stihls after that.

I found it here, and read the discussion. Someone said it was originally on Facebook, but has been taken down.

Who here can sell us some OEM 039 parts? My son wants to get my old saw going, it’s dismantled with piston in a bag tied to the handle. I had taken it to a shop, and they said it was scored.
Post over in the tradin' post for what you need. Some AM parts are good and some not. We just put an AM P/C in a 041. Runs good.

In my experience, sassafras will split if you give it a hard look...
