LilPossum,
Are you saying you have a Homelite 1050 bar mount bar that is .058 gauge? That would be a odd bar.

I couldn't help but include this photo of a NOS recoil cover I managed to score a while ago. I have not seen another one since finding this one.
This one will end up on my 900G resto.
Best of luck with finding one!!!!
Chris.
Isn't that a lucky score.
I haven't seen an NOS one yet.
Hard item to find even used.
I'm sure it will go to good use.

I have one, it's full of dead Havatampas.
Stripped down, glass beaded, repainted, new rings, seals, decals. New rear handle grips on order. Finally got it back together and will do the first run in the AM. Video will be made.
Nice!

Yes sir. I thought it was a 1050 bar mount. The big roller nose that just came from up north
Maybe I am wrong on the mount though, but I thought it was the same as the rollo-tronic

I've never been a good speller. I like Randy's spelling better anyways...:hmm3grin2orange:
That's fantastic!
Well no #### Bill. I meant that there was a long run where there was almost a 'glut' of the damn things on feebay. SEVERAL NOS pistons, and more than a few NOS cylinders. Many used P/C sets as well. The same items were getting relisted again and again over at least a 1-year period. Suddenly they all dried up over the period of a week or two.
Indeed, somebody must have bought all of them at the same time. It was strange to see it happen all at once. Nevermind...

On the subject of the 1050, I bought one of the NOS cylinders off ebay a couple months ago, and I got the second to last piston from the Greek. I went back to get the last piston, just in case my other 1050 croaked, but it was gone. I've been using my good 1050 on a Granberg Alaskan mill with the 36" bar. My Dad bought this saw new somewhere between 1971 and 73, used it for 20 years comercially, and it still has enough compression to rip your fingers off when it kicks back, Joe.
Here's a pic of the 1050 at work last weekend, and another pic of several of my old saws. I've posted pics of them before, but I don't think I put them in this thread, Joe.

Ladder Mill?
Never seen a ladder used as a straight edge! Is this a common way to mill?
It would be cool to make you own boards...

I bought this saw used around 1980 and cut a considerable amount of wood with it. After missing out on a couple project saws recently, I decided to do this one and give it a well deserved rest. Before photos are first. Always ran 16:1 - check out that cylinder, not a mark in it.

Here we are bucking up a dead maple removal in the snow. This is a 1974-75 that I am the second owner of. It sure is fun to have all the torque. But my hands are numb from the vibes.

Fantastic pics! Love the falling snow along with the chips. Thanks for putting the links up instead of embedding the images. That means I can see 'em!
