Randy,

That 900G of mine came with a wore out 9/16 full chisel 36" loop. Once I remove a link and sharpen, it'll still be a viable chain. It won't fit on my Silvey, though. The 9/16 sure changes the scale of things. That 36" bar doesn't seem at all like 3 foot with that giant chain wrapped around it.

Chris, I should have a repair link for your chain here.

one thing about the 9/16 is it requires a hard to find 9/32 file .

when they are wore down a 1/4 will work.

here is my 990g with the 60" General bar and 9/16 chain

Does it have the 2.8 or 3.5 to 1 gear reduction?

And to think I passed on a running, excellent condition 770g on eBay that sold for $108.00.

The 770G is a nice saw, BUT nothing like the
900 series or your 9-26. These biguns love wood
and if you haven't run one yet, you will be in for
a bit of a surprize.

Ric,

9/16 repair links are one thing I do have. Motivation is another story. I hate breaking chain.

When are you sending that 990G my way?

If I ever get to a scanner, I have a sales brochure for 1960 covering the entire Homelite line from the 900G to the 500. Also, has the prices as weekly payments. If only we could go back and get these saws at those prices, but then we wouldn't care about them.

Problem with this IPL is, it doesn't cover all of the original stuff. There are no part numbers for the big muffler, and makes no mention of the old handlebar. If you do happen to run across the part# for the guard, could you post it here?

Chris B.

The part number for the muffler guard on the 9-23 and 9-26 is 56582. The muffler body is 56164-A and the back plate or adapter is 56163-A.

Great Dan. Glad you
had these numbers. Going
to add them to my IPL.

And the outer deflector is part# 56691.

Thought I'd add to the 900G collection on this thread. I've had this brochure for some time. It covers the entire Homelite line from 1960, starting with the bad-a$$ 900G. Check out the saw the logger is using on the cover page. And I think the guy running the ZIP is going to end up with the bar up his nose if he isn't careful.

ole Homelite literature.

Hello Chris,

I assume that came with the saw out of Michigan. I am glad a good guy got it. Too bad the 3rd party was a scrounge:censored:

No Bill, I got the brochure separately.
