  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. If anyone needs Clinton engine manuals I have 120 of them on .pdf files
  4. I got the numbers mixed up, sure do
  5. The old part number for the bearing was 12336 or 12337 either one, it was superseded by part number 12054 and later 215-70
  6. The B1290/1260 engine differs from your red A2160 engine, as it doesn't even have a bearing plate. Ewan needs bearing plate number 12054. Your yellow D790 engine has a bearing plate, but the part number is 12016-A and will not work.
  7. If searching for spares the part may be listed as a Bearing Plate
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. The collection changes week by week, but around 20-24 right now.
  12. 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
  13. All the white paint went to Howard Bolens
  14. wow, that is a nice piece of equipment, looks lie it could do some serious work
  15. Unbelievable find, the engine alone is a gem.
  16. 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
  17. Try it on leaves and stale heads of lettuce
  18. Looks Like someone needs a trip to the Vet
  19. Me thinks Chris is making room for something else that he has his eye on, I wonder what that could be?
  20. Thanks Nigel, I may visit the page, if I comment I used the nom de plume of Willam Gates (no i) on Facebook
  21. There is no one in the Republican party that can garner the amount of support as Trump does, not because Trump is good, but because all politicians are viewed as corrupt and inept. The democrats are in even worse shape. They have promised so much to so many and delivered nothing that their base is completely fragmented. They could attempt to nominate Oprah Winfrey, but as splintered as they are even that would not be even as good as Hillary did.
  22. That was when I was a teenager and no place to go. The kids are gone and the dog sleeps a lot, so the house is fine, besides, I wouldn't think a Churchill movie wouldn't promote arousal from most people, lol
  23. Thanks Andrew and Norman for your responses. News stories like this and others are blown out of proportion on our news outlets with each news organization providing a higher or different level of spin on the situation with no historical or factual content. Its my main complaint, not news, but entertainment is what we are fed for news. I understand many, many people do not like Trump, but the way many are acting is not mature and puts them in the same poor light.
