Good morning! Made some test cuts with a Homelite 1050 I recently acquired. I got the Italian Stallion (Olympic 962) out to make a couple cuts. It surprised me by running out of fuel in the cut. I revved it up and saw fuel spraying out of the primer bulb. At least it's an easy fix. It still...

Happy Thanksgiving! Picked up a couple of Homelites to do a quick flip on. The SXL-925 is already cutting wood in Pennsylvania. The SXL Limited Edition is ready to go after cleanup and carb kit. Sent a Mall 4MG out yesterday. Shipping weight without bar was 49 lbs. Only about 80 more to send to...

Good morning! Went to Oologah, OK yesterday to pick up a Homelite 20MCS that a fellow collector bought for me. Got back just in time for a planned trip for a friend to help pick up two hit and miss engines. He is a total rookie when it comes to hit and miss engines but just had to have a couple...

Nowadays, that's pretty much the highlight of Carrollton. It's a shadow of its former self. Kind of sad.

Good morning! Last week was a busy one . I made a 12-hour trip to Galesburg Illinois to pick up a well weathered Homelite sign that came from the business in my hometown (Carrollton, MO) that my Dad bought his first Homelite chainsaw. On the way back I picked up a couple chainsaws from Jacob K...

Good morning! Thank you Tony and your wife and family for your hospitality! All of the food was amazingly good! I have to ask what cut of meat was ground up to make those hamburgers? They were remarkably good. It was really good to visit with everyone. There was an impressive assortment of...

USPS strikes again. It almost made it to my house in Springfield 😡

What would you like brought for the food portion? Any supplies for the noise making side?

I just let Russell know. He's only 6 mi south of you.

Did I understand correctly that there will be provisions for projectile pushers?

1) Hinerman 2) Hedgerow 3) Sawdust Man + two sons 4) Workshop +1 5) WKEND LUMBERJACK +2 6) Sawnami Hard to pass up a good time. How many miles from Springfield are you?

I think this saw design killed Disston's future as a chainsaw manufacturer. You rarely see one that's worn out from use.

Diving into a Disston DO-101 fuel meter. It has a transmission driven internal impeller that pressurizes the fuel and injects it into the venturi according to the position of a throttle trigger controlled needle valve. The excess fuel is returned to the fuel tank. Similar to mechanical fuel...

I'm a little late on the draw but the generator is for a Homelite 20 ECS chainsaw. 230V 3 phase 180 cycle. Homelite also had a compactor and concrete vibrator that ran on that generator.

It was a chain guard to protect the operator.
