Keep those old Homies making chips! I think in the 70's they were overall the best saws bar none.

The one I’m looking at is about the same shape, was actually just at the old local dealer to get new fuel lines and a tune up.

Haha I just swapped over to skip tooth now, so I can save that chain for soft trees.

I just sold my homelite 2000 to someone who will appreciate it more than me, they even offered me more than my asking price

 

[Sawcrazy]

Can I join the cool kids club with this piece of junk?

Jacob - get it cleaned up, running, and outfit with a 36-42" bar and .404 chain...

I found these in a recent part haul and they are not any McCulloch part that I can place. Opposite shelves were loaded with Homelite parts, did something slip across the line?

I have a 404 sprocket, and 60” bar on the way!!

In addition to those oiler buttons I have a few Oregon 14026 and 14028 clutch drums as well as the 404/8T 6 spline rim sprockets to go with them.

The Homelite super 1050A has the 6 spline 404 rim drives. Not easy to come by.

Does anyone recognize this full wrap handlebar? Does it fit some model of Homelite?

Looks like a 540 handle Mark. I don't know if it's the same for 8800 since the 540 and 8800 used different tanks.

You are good Jacob. Right on the money.

The extra pockets on the cargo pants help him retain all that knowledge.

Shoot…he doesn’t even need the extra pockets!

Thanks JJ, now I will have to acquire a 540 or sell this handlebar, whatever comes first.

I would say buy a 540 and continue the homelite collection. Your next building could be mainly Homelite. Wink

Mark, if you choose to sell the handle let me know. I have a cherry 540 that looks naked with a half wrap.

 

[heimannm]

Sorry Jacob, the handle is already spoken for.

I do still have a number of the 6 spline drums and .404-8T sprockets if that helps at all.
