I couldn't get it to embed but, it's a short video of the saw that I think is coming to cpr.

Looks like a C-9 to me.

lol


The filter cover is wrong for a C-9 as it was longer and a little more rounded. It may be a 10 something saw but it sounds and looks like a C-72, might just be my audio, but the 6 cube Homies seem to have a bit more pop to them.

 

[watsonr]

You are right about the slopped airfilter... I was excited when I saw RED

I did some digging last night and found the pictures you posted before.

I wouldn't kick that out of bed :msp_wub:.

It was pretty when it left me. That's why I sold it, I didn't want to be the one to scratch it all up.

I seem to prefer the saws that have some "character".

Funny how AS creates some small world circles. Case-in-point, if this is the same saw, the guy who got it from you and is selling it to me grew up 25 minutes from here.

No worries, I saved ya' that drive...

cool - glad someone here got it!

homie 410

got this 410 today off of cl for $35. now that i have it i'm wondering what the rep is on this saw.
also, been trying for 15 minutes to upload pix, something i've done several times. any mods or site owners listening out there?

At first, really didn't think much of 410s, but after playing a bit, I'll cast a :msp_thumbsup: for 'em. Yea they're heavy compared to modern saws (of which I have zero), and yea they have a rubber carb boot, and also think I've read where they had a few heat related issues in hot weather, but they ain't that bad in my personal view. Feels balanced, not bad antivibe, and they even have reeds! Oh yea, and a manual oiler too. What's not to like. Besides, for $35 you can't go wrong. Best of luck fixing her up.

Mine sucks air through the carb boot, so it sits in a bucket until I round one up.

Kyle had a few back end of last year... not sure about now. Used to see 'em all over feebay, but not so many anymore. 330 boots are cheap there and look close to a 410 boot, but unfortunately they're not the same. That slanted angle on the 410 boot always confuses me which direction its supposed to point. Heck, I can't even remember now whether its slants inward or outward... always get it backwards.

Finest mid range saw built by Homelite.

I built four this past summer.

Need any parts? I got a bunch of leftover odds and ends.

Super XL925

How desirable is a Super XL925? It's supposed to be cosmetically and mechanically in very good condition with manual and tool.

Very desirable. Remember a previous post on here a few years ago and numerous members declared them to be their all time favorite Homelite. Without a doubt in this member's top 5 list.
