Want to Buy 925 series homelite

[ChainsawmanXX]

Let me know what you have. A full wrap handle would be preferred, running or not. I have moldy green paper or stuff to trade.

 

[Guido Salvage]

I have an extra one here, standard front handlebar.

 

[ChainsawmanXX]

Watta you gotta have out of it?

 

[Guido Salvage]

I will pull it out tomorrow and get some pics and PM you.

 

[ChainsawmanXX]

Sounds good.

I am sure I still have a few of them with wraps. They will be $200

 

[Bill G]

Well I went out to fill the boiler and see what was on the shelves. I found a 955 (or AV variant) and a 925. Both are standard handles. There are probably more in the other buildings but at 5 degrees I am not going to go searching via flashlight tonight. I am going to try to post pictures but THEY ARE DIRTY from sitting on the shelves for a good number of years

 

[Bill G]

Here is the 955 or variant

 

[Bill G]

Here is the 925

 

[Bill G]

They both have decent compression, clean pistons, and spark

So what are you looking to get for them Bill?

Did you read his first post???

 

[BigDee]

Oh yeah I see he said $200 each. Thank you Guido. My duh. I did read it but lost track of who was talking as I went through the pics. So is that in the ballpark for 925s?

..................... So is that in the ballpark for 925s?

That is what I have sold all the ones I have for $200-$275 depending on condition

 

[BigDee]

cool

Ebay prices are close to the same as Bill, so those prices are pretty much the average going rate. Pretty cheap for a well made saw that will pull a 28" bar buried in oak very well and would likely do the same with a 32". Cheaper than most 82cc Mac's anyway.

 

[BigDee]

Were the 925s in wide use?

 

[Bill G]

Were the 925s in wide use?

The short answer is YES

 

[Guido Salvage]

Pictures of my 925, compression is pushing 170 pounds. Saw has not been cleaned up, this is how it was sitting on the shelf. By the way, this saw was built in Canada rather than in Port Arthur.

Will someone tell us the longer story of the big homelites? Who used them? What parts of the country? What replaced them? Do they have special virtues or downfalls? I have heard they are troublesome in hot weather.
