Picked up a new to me Homie 150.Not in bad shape just dusty from sitting.Even has a Homie bar on it.

Let me know if you need anything. I have three 150 parts saws that I am looking to unload cheap. I have already helped out one AS member. For some reason that saw is a turn off for me. I like Super EZ's and XL-12's much better.

And I appreciated the help. The cover worked great on my saw. I'm not a big fan of the 150 either but if it works it works!

Is this a K095 mount?

Shown on top of an 20" Oregon #200---D196.
Slot is .331" wide. Est. 16", hard nose.
Faint markings: ??29 Homelite
GVA 16503

Was in the box with the ebay XL-101 parts saw. Looks kind of smallish.

Isn't that the "medium" size Homelite mount, like they used on the EZ and 150? I figured they used it on the XL 101 also, maybe not.

According to Acres website it fits a Homelite 150, I didn't check any further.

Here is a pdf Oregon sent me, on the last page it shows K095 mount.

Google turned this up; "150 Automatic Homelite,its pretty old, ...... to fix this problem? the number on the old bar is W-16503"

I'll look at Acres.

Yup, K095, correct for XL-101.

Just wanted to post a few of my saws.

I did a little work on these two 1020's. The faded one sports a nice 36" roller nose bar. I had to crack the tank and replace the fuel line. I also rebuilt the carb. I put neoprene tubing on the handlebar for a better feel.

The red 1020 is Wildman's old frankensaw. I put the correct starter on it, and repainted a few items to get it looking better. I also wrapped both sides of the handlebar in Neoprene. It has the auto oiler clutch cover, which works well. It has a beautiful 32" Cannon roller nose on it.

I took a quick video of both running, so you can see that these actually are runners, lol. Both started on the first pull. The faded one is running a little rich, as the new carb kit seems to be breaking in.

Next up is my little brush cutter, my Super EZ PNW edition full wrap. With the safety nose on the bar, it is really effective at brush cutting. I can run it along the barns without haveing to worry about hitting the nose on the barn or foundation.

On the first pull, I forgot to flip the start switch to the "on" position, lol.

Just scored a 770G off ebay, has a 28in bar with 1/2" chain on it right now. I was wondering if anybody knew if I could convert to 404 or not and if so if their is a source for the drive spurs or sprockets I guess you could call it for the .404 chain.

Also curious what bar mount pattern it takes, with 95cc's and a 2.8:1 gear reduction I'd love to put something in the high 30" range onto it for big stuff, If its like any of these other old gargantuan's I'll have to modify a bar to fit but was wondering what the best mount to start with is.
 
Nice XP1000

Brings back memories of my first saw, a XP1000, lots of hours running that monster. Thanks... Eventually I'll find one to reminisce with. Nice pictures of the 1020 and the XP1000.
