Still looking if anybody has a clutch sprocket for a homelite xl 925 super. Part number for oregon is 37458. It is a 3 shoe clutch. I want a 7 tooth .404 sprocket. Pm me, post thread, or email me: [email protected]. Thanks to all, and have a good evening!

Yep, mine is a 3 shoe clutch. I don't know the original Homelite part number for this particular sprocket. But I'd like to find a sprocket with a removable ring, not the spur type. I think the Oregon one listed above is the removable ring type.

Salutations,
I'm not sure if this will help, but one hopes.
Place a call to Hawkins Bros. Shelbina, MO 573-588-4731. They were very helpful when I had to repair my fathers 6 shoe 925 clutch assy. FWIW, my fathers saw possessed a large spline rim sprocket making sprocket changes easy. Perhaps you can order all the parts to retrofit your saw to this configuration? Since his saw ran 3/8 pitch we installed an 8 tooth sprocket to gain a little cutter speed.
Kindest regards,
Candice

SXL 925 Homelite sprocket systems
Hello Smcowboy..........
If you are set on a rim & spline system for your SXL-925 you will probably
have to settle for a 3/8 pitch. That I believe is still available from Oregon, its
#37458x. I have an Oregon catalog dated 1993 and it shows nothing in .404 for the 3 shoe only in the 6 shoe.
Good hunting!

Me and my chainsaw buddy found that an Xl-12, etc. sprocket that I think is for a 6 shoe clutch match up pretty, very very close. Might be a hair smaller diameter, but It works like a dream, just so all you folks know for future reference. Thanks to ALL who tried helping out. Take care and God Bless!
They sell the kit as 3/8" for most saws, but it doesn't mean you can't buy it and swap the rim for whichever pitch you prefer. Some places will even do the switch at the point of sale for the exact same price, and no extra hassle.

Yes, I believe the XL-12/SXL drum is the same as the 6 shoe 925
Im wrapping up a project 925 - going to run 20" 3/8 with an 8t rim. Curious to see how it does with the 8T (never tried that before)

I have a xl-12 rim drive 7T sprocket in .404. My bar is a 28" Homelite with 84 Drivers and is full skip. I haven't found anything big enough to make it snort yet. I really do think it will handle it good though. It may be slower than the newer saws, but the lugging power is astounding!

Yes, I was wrong, I see that Oregon sells a .404 rim that fits the 7 spline drum. Where do you buy these 1/2'' rims Bill mentioned? I see no listing for them at the Oregon site.I learn something new each time I visit the Arborist site and this is a good example.Still learning. Thanks to those helping with my education.

Just took my 925 out for a test run. Have a new carb kit/fuel line & filter. honed the cyl & put in new rings.
20" powermatch with a 8t rim & full chisel
Took a while to get the carb adjusted, but WOW this thing rocks with that 8t sprocket rim.
It blasted through 10" red oak like nothing, you could not even hear the engine slow down.
The tourqe these things have is amazing........
Cant wait to break it in & get it tuned right & do some serois work.........
It is definitly faster than my other 925 that sports a 24" with a 7t rim.

BTW: I have 6 shoe clutches on all 3 of mine.
I do have a 3 shoe that is missing the lining on 1 shoe. And also have a spare 6 shoe.
I bought some brake lining material so I could re line it. Just have to figure out what type of adhesive to use.
Any ideas anyone ????????
Also if anyone has any clutch parts for sale/trade, let me know.
