Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at WalMart for my dogs Melvin and Saba. I was standing in line to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant? Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that No, I didn't have a dog - that I was starting the Purina Diet again. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side though, I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms. Horrified, She asked : "Did you end up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned you?" I said: "No not at all. I had stopped in the middle of the road to lick my balls and a car hit me." The guy behind her was laughing so hard, I thought he was going to have a heart attack!

Yes you did, I was so engrossed in looking at the engine I didn't finish reading. Very cool!

What would the applications be for an engine like this?

What kind of place is this?

I would love to see that photo. I saw a picture around 1959 of a guy cutting down a Giant Sequoia 17-1/2" feet across with a Homelite 7-19 (7hp, 19lbs) that had a 60" bar

I think the box was a factory made piece, but I do question the axle and tongue. They may have been replaced or repaired at some point. Nonetheless, it will make a fine looking and useful trailer.

The old part number for the bearing was 12336 or 12337 either one, it was superseded by part number 12054 and later 215-70

If searching for spares the part may be listed as a Bearing Plate

I bought my first chainsaw in June of 2017, but to be more accurate I had a newer model Husqvarna that I bought used 6 month prior tha never would run, so I found a old blue Homelite for sale. Things got out of hand quickly, lol. I have over 400 chainsaw manuals right now that I read and study. I don't know that much about them, but I am trying to learn all I can.

Thanks Andrew, I've sold some non Homelites and late model smaller Homelites to increase my collection to rarer and bigger models from 1964-1979, to emulate my tractor collection.

I bought this saw from a guy in Missoula Montana, about 1600 miles away, and had it shipped. It's a 1968 saw with 114cc and a 28" roller nose bar. It had no spark, so I bought a new set of points, condenser, and coil as well as a new sprocket and hub. I decided while it was apart to repaint it and put new decals on. The decals arrived last week and I am waiting on the two part epoxy clear spray paint to finish the clearcoat. The tricky part will be the white and red parts on the air filter cover.

The collection changes week by week, but around 20-24 right now.

Homelite had a subsidiary in Canada that built saws for the export market, i.e. the Canadian market to conform with Canadian regulations and to avoid import taxes. It was called Terry Industries and the ID tags generally said Homelite/Terry Pointe Claire Quebec. Production numbers were much lower than US saws and often saws had different model designations than their US counterparts . I have 5 of these Homelite Terry saws. I found one of my most cherished models last month in Canada and bought it from the guy whose dad bought it new in the fall of 1969 it was a XL-902am, the "am" stood for automatic and manual oiler, it was a 82cc saw with a 24" bar painted red, white and green. This color scheme is also unusual and was only used on a few models for only a few years. Last week I found a Homelite/Terry XL- 800am another automatic and manual oiler with 82cc from the original owner as well. This saw was only built in 1967 and 1968. I quickly purchased it and made arrangements for it to be shipped to my home. This particular saw was made before the fall of 1967 because instead of a bolt together crankcase the case is cemented together. I found a XL-903, which is a fairly rare Homelite saw, but I already had one, but not in nearly as good of shape, so I bought the better one and sold that one for more than I paid for the new one. I also purchased a Homelite Super XL-925 from a fellow in Maine and was excited to see that it too was a Canadian made Homelite/Terry saw. I'll post pictures when I receive it, for now here is the XL-902am, the XL-903, and the Super XL-925 saws I bought last month, all 82cc auto oiler saws

All the white paint went to Howard Bolens

wow, that is a nice piece of equipment, looks lie it could do some serious work

Unbelievable find, the engine alone is a gem.

I'll still be having my bacon, ham, and sausage with double cheese sandwich 3 days a week http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2018/01/25/eating-some-sandwiches-causes-global-warming-uk-scientists-say.html

Try it on leaves and stale heads of lettuce

Very Beautiful though.

Glad to have another Ian project to watch

Looks Like someone needs a trip to the Vet

Me thinks Chris is making room for something else that he has his eye on, I wonder what that could be?
