@heimannm what's the model number on that trimmer, i can look up the part number for the fuel tank and possibly get some scans of my ipl.

I may have some other goodies to send if this fuel tank is correct. It's NOS

Hi guys can anyone identify this homelite and is it worth grabbing?! It at the least needs carb work if not fuel system overhaul and points clean.

I would need to see the clutch side to be certain but judging from the green handlebar mount I would say there is a good possibility of it being a Homelite XL-850 especially with the black painted handle and the Red/orange instead of the deep red. They were a 5.0ci saw, as I typed that I checked again and it is most likely a XL-903 because of the screws on the fuel tank, the green handlebar bracket must have been a replacement

Yea I would have to say you are the youngest, but not by much, I believe @Mac&Homelite was 18 before he found this thread and probably younger still when he got bit.

Welcome aboard, I'm not the longest member but maybe the eldest. Cad is good, low on cash when you see a nice saw is bad.

You are one of the elders but I’m pretty sure there is someone that stops in every now and then that’s 64, he just commented the other day.

Unless you mean some of the fellows on the Poulan thread, I respect their words of wisdom and really enjoy chatting with them.

I think that GURU guy is at least 120 years old---You don't age much sitting on a mountain top and giving out words of wisdom to passer bys.

 

[s sidewall]

Which one? Some of them got me on age and saw wisdom.

Got a new saw when I was 18, if, if I would have got a new saw every year and parked the older one, I know what you mean but would have had to buy a few used ones in between, would have been a lot of saws when I turned 52.
