Firewood saw

What model is the red Homelite (3rd from the left)? What's the biggest saw Homelite made?

I may be incorrect but I believe Homelites largest saw was the 7-28 & 8-29 at 129cc's.

XL-902AM. Early 70's. 77cc. This one runs really well after the rebuild.

My buddy enjoyed blasting through the pile with it on cutting day. 20+ rounds per pass. It was a conversation piece amongst the latest and greatest.

My Dad used a Homelite which was his Dad's. Not sure of the model but it was light blue in color.
What fuel/oil ratio you mix for the Homelite?

32:1, 94 Super Supreme (Chevron ethanol free) in everything.

I run a lot of XL-76/130's for cutting as well. If I am after a truck load or two they are super strong, compact and fast for their size. They cut way outside of their weight class.




Making a test cut on one of the XL-76's after a rebuild. Whole lotta torque. Not bad, considering they can be picked up around here anywhere from $25 to free.
