This one arrived today. Homelite 770GS Stick Shift.
This is just how i got it. I haven't cleaned it at all.
Pretty nice shape. Very pleased with this one and has
great compression.

Lee- that's a nice one. I remember the Stick Shift Homelite was one of the very few saws going for top dollar
in the earliest days of Ebay. In fact, one of the very first ones I saw on there was NOS in the box. It got over
$2500. Yours is a sweetie though for a used one.

Mighty pretty!!

Every saw you post is one I don't see every day. Lol
That must be a gear drive with different gearing on the fly.
Preety cool, never seen that saw before.

Gives you to different gear ratios. Not sure of ratios.
I think for some reson one might be like direct drive
and then another like 2. something. I have to investigate
it more.

Very cool saw but I have no idea what "stick shift" means.

Did you look at this pic? See anything different? http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...8b7f36e111aa84cd88256b780012ceb7?OpenDocument

Gear choices: DRIVE TYPE:
2 Gear reduction, 2.84:1 ratio (might be a typo.... should it be 2:8 or 4:1 ratio?)

Nice saw Lee.

I wonder if Big Bore ever got his put back together....

That's kinda what I thought/heard too. Real nice find.

Beautiful saw Lee - congratulations.

The gear ratios for the 770GS are as follows:

770 -GS1: 2.84: 1 and 1.4: 1
770 -GS2: 3.57: 1 and 1.4: 1

Chain speed under load: 1.4 ratio = 2500ft / min, 2.84 ratio = 1232ft / min, and 3.57 ratio = 981 ft / min.

Amazing condition for a vintage machine - well done.

Chris.
