Homelite super 1050 auto

[silvertabian721]

i have a homelite super 1050 auto. I picked it up a year ago in hopes of using it for a mill, but for a lack of my ability in finding parts such as a muffler cover, wrap handle, oiler even a bar that will fit it correctly or a driveline count for the bar that i have onto it now. I am kind of at a stand still, now i am normally a husky guy for my firewood and felling saws but i bought this saw based on power to price meaning i didn't pay all that much for it compared to what you would pay for other 100cc and I'm now finding out why..... with all this said any help would be appreciated, if not then its kind of a paperweight to me.

Well the wrap is going to difficult to find but bars should not. I use a large mount stihl on mine with an adapter for the bar so no problem there. I wouldn't worry about the muff cover but what's with the oiler.

 

[silvertabian721]

the auto oiler doesn't work but i can kinda get the manual oiler to work. i realize that the muffler cover isn't a big deal to the working order of the saw but if i end up keeping it want to restore it…… they are made in New york kinda close ish to where I'm from. and whats the deal with the adapter your talking about?

Try checking the check valve in the oiler line sometimes they get dirty and stick not allowing oil to flow only one way

Hope you can find you parts you need mate, the Super 1050's are really good old saws to run, lots of power and old school noise.

What would you want with such a lousy old saw

Brad, you need to polish that front handle up some or put a rubber cover over it. The saw looks like brand new but just needs that final touch....LOL

I can appreciate Brad's clean example, but mine gets used.

Mine's been used.....to cut 2-3 cookies

bisnelling and guido salvage, those are awesome saws i wish i could figure out how to upload photos mine has def been used a lot long before it got to me but for the use its had i think its in pretty good condition. is there any place that makes aftermarket parts because the handle on mine is worn really bad like I'm nervous running it.

Site sponsor Homelite 410 makes the adapter. Id look for crud in the oiler as the manual should work despite what the auto oiler is doing so dump the oil and flush the tank with gas and try again, simple but it may work .

I'm pretty sure I have a NOS auto oiler here. And possibly a NOS wrap bar. I will look tonight or tomortow. Also have piston rings for it if you need to freshen her up a bit..

Very nice saw brad. I'm gonna try and put a NOS homelite saw together sometime. Probably would have to be the 410 because I have most of the parts to put one together. But really wanted to do a 1050.

Mine didn't start out so pretty!

 

[rynosawr]

This used to be my old gal....

Ran great and oiled like the Valdez.... All original piston, cylinder bearings and seals...

Very low hour saw that I got missing the recoil lugs....

so not to sound "new" to this but how does a bar adapter work that this homelike 410 fella makes and what is the best way to get a hold of him to see if he in fact can make one for me

Nice saw Justin - looks like you have a geardrive wrap handle fitted to the saw. They are a great machine, with plenty of reed valve torque.
