Homelite Chainsaws

[cbfarmall]

Pulled another one off the parts shelf--Super Wiz. Came to me complete but dirty. It was disassembled and the pieces here and there. I gathered it all up, cleaned it, got spark. Just needs a fuel tank which is on the way. Tank was horribly shellaced, had the wrong color side cover and that cover had a broken screw or 2 which I don't feel like fooling with. Added the bow, which is aftermarket, but seems to be made for the large Homelite mount. The only other thing I plan to do is to swap in a 2:1 gear set to go with the .404 sprocket. Currently has 3.84:1.

Super Wiz is done and running quite well. Also, grabbed this 7-19C which is quite nice. Only thing not original are a couple of fasteners on the flywheel cover.

I laid out my gear sets for the 3 ratios these saws came with. 2, 2.84, and 3.57:1. Depending on the year, you could have a wider drum, clutch and cover. My older 6-22, 5-20 and 17 have a narrower gear cover and couldn't accommodate the wide drum. It can work the other way around.

Buddy picked this up cheap at auction, missing a few parts: 5-30N. It was stuck but didn't take much to free up and it has awesome compression. I'll be acquiring the missing parts--belt, belt cover, air filter and cover--to work on next year. The bar and chain that came with it was junk but I dug out a good setup.

No progress towards making it run but I did gather the missing parts for the 5-30N: belt cover, air filter and cover, even the handlebar bracket (which forced the handlebar back to square.)

Hi all
Would anyone have seal numbers for a
26 LCS
And are they available?
Thanks

Copied from a previous post of mine:

For the PTO side 72413 seal, pretty sure I used this Dichomatik seal 09311809VM. Measures .937x1.183x.094
Don't recall what I did for the flywheel side seal 71110, but I found that somebody substituted CR 7410 which is .75 x 1.0 x .125. The CR seal doesn't use a garter spring. You'll have to check the original.

I redid a 5-30 a couple years ago and know that I used the Dichomatik, but I don't know if I found a NOS seal or what I did.

Suggest you get your new seals in hand to compare before you pop out the old ones.

I'd look and see if dichtomatik has the 7410 size seal with a garter spring.

These look promising.

Thanks
One of my buddies has the bearing shop in the big city.
I will see what he can find.
I tried some seal restoration oil on them see if that works but not holding out a lot of hope
