homelite paint
Hi Cindy
Try to find some paint on your saw that has been protected from exposure to sun and other elements. This will be the best way to get the correct color. Then you can take it to a local paint store. Most of them can computer match your color from a sample of your old paint. If you are going to run the saw after you paint it, you should use laquer paint since it will not lift and peel as easily as enamel paint when exposed to gasoline. Good luck!

Homelite 17
Bill, I have a homelite 17A my dad bought to replace his pair of McCulloch 3-25's (had to go to the woods with two saws, because they wouldn't start hot...run out of gas and oil, refuel, and cool down while using the other saw!)
So if the 17L followed the 17, do you know where the 17A fits in?
Thanks!

Homelite 17A
Bill, my 17A has a Tillotsen HL carb...doesn't need to turn to switch from felling to bucking. Kind of like a little brother to the 5-20 popular on the west coast.
I had always assumed they were made sometime in the mid to late 1950's. I do know it was before the Textron finance name went on them.
