Just as important, is the lever in the box?

Picked up a few Homelites and parts yesterday.

Great find, many great saws and hard to find parts. Those pictures of cylinders are sure to attract some interest. If you have any 2 & 5/16" bore 900/990 pistons or cylinders I would be interested.

Those Waterbugs are cool little pumps. I ran a 20-person fire crew for years and we packed two of those and about 2.000 feet of synthetic garden hose with fittings. A motivated crew with a good water source and two of those pumps with hose and enough fuel can mop up about five acres a day.

Not sure what all the cylinders are. Unfortunately I'll probably be hanging on to one's for that application.

That's very interesting! That one is new in the box. I'll have to check it out more closely.

Thought you guys might enjoy this and it was suggested to me that I post this here.

I found this old brochure dated 1967 in a box of stuff that belonged to my wife's grandfather who passed away about 5 years ago at the age of 93. The brochure is in near perfect condition, looks like I could have brought it home from a shop yesterday.

I don't know when the Super XL12 came out. But it's pretty cool, especially the circular saw!

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

Last one.

That book is phenomenal, thanks for posting it!

 

[67L36Driver]
