750 was kinda like homelites last attempt at staying in the game, unfortunately it was too late by then, the Germans and the swedish were taking over.

I think the last effort in a big homelite after the 750 was the 540 and 8800.

Here is that 245's Fraternal Triplet the Dayton 2z463 with the wright saw 145 clutch cover

I think you might be right, but I think that was also during homelites decline because the Homelight 290 and 340 saws during that time were made by Solo out of Germany if I am not mistaken in the mid to late 80's, the 350-750 series were late 70's - Mid 80's just before they went down hill.

 

[Homelitexl903]

I'm pretty sure at least the 750 was made until mid 80's. I have heard something about solo making some saws for homelite around or after that time. Definitely lots of interesting history.

Yes it is, most of my dates are pulled from acres, so if it is wrong I am wrong haha.

I also use acres for dates and specs and most of the time it seems fairly accurate. Anyways heres some more old saw pics for this thread.

Those are some nice jonnies, if you ever decide to turn one of them loose let me know! Do they both run?

I need to get this big ole saw running. I need to find a recoil starter spring and an air filter cover.

Your right they were but i think they had outside influence as well with those, it was too late by then

What brand is that

 

[Boomer 87]

Kinda looks like a clinton

 

[brandonstc6]

It's a Clinton 323. It's not a real two man saw but the closest I've seen to one. I bought it at an estate sale for $50. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it. It seems to have compression and spark. I really hope to find a real two man saw one day

heres a club, David Bradley with power products engine and gear drive

homelite zip 77ccs runs a 7/16 pitch chain

 

[brandonstc6]

Those are neat old saws, I have only one gear drive saw. Second to the Clinton, my biggest is a Mcculloch super 250 or maybe my 051

Anybody interested in a john deere 40v, really good shape does run, but i think the carb needs rebuilding hard metering diaphragm i think but otherwise nice, i can post a pic if anyones interested

The 910E is mint and runs and the 820 is almost as nice but while trying to tune it I noticed a hole in the fuel line so it needs a little work when I get time. If your interested in the 910 send me a PM.

 

[Kensie1988]

Here is a pic of my C-5, if only I could get the carb right, I was working on it yesterday day and it's not even pulling fuel at all now.

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Here is one of mine, complete with some diy dogs which it desperately needed.
