HOMELITE Homelite Thread

I had a 360 at one point I think. I think the sparky parts went to @Benwa and I forget where the rest went. @Maintenance Chief?

I will probably give this back to the buddy who gave it to me. He doesn’t have much use for a saw but he bout a little homeowner Stihl turd for his yard. Probably better off with this…

my 925 I want to get running, low compression.

I got super ez parts.

Idles now that it’s tuned properly. H was fat and L was Lean. Anyone want it?

This show of Homelites takes me back in time a while .There were two real popular saw brands those days being McCulloch and Homelite .It corresponded with Farmall and John-Deere you might find on the farm .The tractors would run forever and so have the chainsaws .The tractors although mostly retired now have plowed a lot of farm land and the chainsaws have cut a lot of firewood .Times changed ,things improved ,evolved so to speak .The tractors ended up tucked away in a shed some place and the saws some times to the shelf or abandoned in a fence row to rust away .50 years later somebody gets interested in them and they spring to life once again .

Well I guess I'll have to break out old super EZ since parts are available. I'm going to be showing my age going to woods with super EZ and old Pulan.

Ran the C-5G with the bar buried in a seasoned oak log.

That's AWESOME, thanks for posting. I'd love to see under the mechanics of the clutch cover.

Here's an example of the gear reduction rotation vs clutch rotation.

A trio of 7-29's. All have nice looking pistons, and one needs carb work but is almost a runner. One barked on a prime, and the other I have yet to try. I want to see the one with the 60" bar run against my Mac 73 with the same length bar in big wood.

I have a homelite question. Are the rim sprockets on the homelite 550 the same large spline as what is on newer saws like Stihl or husqvarna?

Thanks!!

My co-worker gave me his homelite 550 yesterday to replace the rim sprocket. I went to remove the clutch and it has a crack in it. The holes for removal are beat up like someone took a flat chisel to it. Anyone have a six shoe clutch for a 550?

Finished a crankshaft up rebuild on a 7-29
