I don't think Sears had a very long relationship with Homelite, so there probably aren't many. I did see a Homelite 450 with a Craftsman badge on it recently.

Nice! There's a Craftsman version of the SXL also, isn't there? That's the one I'm missing.

So, just letting you know that I have quite a few 80/801/90 parts.

What parts are you looking for?

Us old guys don't have exclusive rights to the concept of a bucket list. In fact getting an early start improves your odds.

It is the rev limiter, and it's normal I've had two of them and both did it. If you're swinging a little more weight, (longer line-bigger blade) it will smooth out.

Thanks for sharing the videos Mike!

Wow, you done good on that one!!

Forgot the pictures

So, Mark, it just so happens that I have a 52e saw that was a good runner but developed a hole in the gas tank. I've robbed the ignition, but everything else is there. It appears to be a low use saw and has a bunch of pretty parts on it. I could send any or all of it, if it'll get your 521...

I'll look forward to seeing that!

That's a gorgeous saw Mike, congratulations!!

It's hard to ignore an H&S

6" is Mongo sized? What great news!!!!!!!

I don't know how often Poulan did this with the sand cast saws, but the 31 and the Super 31 had different strokes and used the same top end. They accommodated the longer stroke by using a spacer sandwiched between two gaskets under the cylinder.
