This is a 5-20, I think.... it doesn't have a serial number plate on it, but it has the HL carb, and the pyramid reeds. The 17 I have only has a single reed valve. Measuring the bore would also narrow it down. The 17 is a 2" bore and the other later ones are larger... I think.
 
I'm wondering if there's much of a market for the older saws..I have a couple of Homelites or three maybe..Haven't tried selling them because of the shipping

They are quite heavy. I have 2 of the old gear drive ones. My other one is an unrestored model 17 see pics below. Its been torn down and re-built but nothing was painted, except for the NOS cylinder cover I had to get for it.

They both run great and make a tremendous noise, but the chain speed is slow, like you can almost see each tooth going by at WOT. Can't stall them in the cut tho. kinda of a show-off-to-your-friends saw more than anything.
