Full wrap handlebar for Homie 925

[FSburt]

Got some saws the other day for my crew from another shop (Resources) Got 4 Husky 268's, 1 Homie 925 and 3 Homie 360's. will put the Huskies to use this thinning season and carry the 925 on the truck for falling snags on fires. Will put a 36" bar the the 925 but would like to know if a full wrap bar was made for thse saws. Thanks

Hello, The full wrap handle was an option, so was the ever popular 3/4 wrap handle. Sorry I don't have one right know ,but I am sure some body has one. Good Luck, Jonathan

Would that be the same handle on a 990? I have a full...or is it 3/4 for that....? Did the full come right around the saw...or end right down level with a cap?

the 990 handel is a moster compared to the 925. i got both and the 990 stands about 5" taller than the 925. heck the 990 plain out is a monster here is a pic of a 990g. i love that saw.

 

[homelite360]

here is a 925 for comparison

Here is my 990....

ahh yes...I see now..huge difference in saws..

My SXL-925 came with a full-wrap bar, but it looks like the previous owner cut off the extra wrap with a hacksaw!

hey dennis-
what condition is that 990g in? would you be intrested in getting rid of the old beast or is it too much of an roof ornimant?

SXL-925

Can someone tell me the specs on the SXL-925 Homelite?

 

[Dennis]

Andrew, not sure of the condition of the saw, as it is up on the roof....and its too cold outside right now to go and check...lol...But I will take it down in the next few days and let you know....HomeDelightman is also interested in it...and I may be willing to part with it....

What kind of specs are you looking for? The last (not counting the VIs) and largest chainsaw in the XL-700/800/900 family. Made in the early '70s, 5.01 CID, Tillotson HS carb, shares the powerhead with the XL-98 demo saws version A through C. Most parts are still available.

Nice high compression and a pain in the wrist to start.

thanks John, I bet they are a pain to start. Hard to drop start huh. That powerhead is pretty heavy I would imagine. What's the estimated hp?

 

[homelite360]

actuall the 990g is almost impossible to drop start cause with a 3' bar it weighs in at close to 45lbs. the 925 is easy to drop start if you give it a good fling cause it has clsoe to 180 lbs of compression. or at least mine does. but get a 3' bar on it and it has enough weight. but one homelite of mine that you do not want to drop start is my xp-1000 cause the last 3 people that i saw try to drop start it had the saw back fire and the cord come around and nail them rigt in the crotch. it never gives me a problem maybe it was because husky guys were trying to start it. i think the 925 is about 6 hp if i am remmberign right.
