Awesome! I recently picked up an identical Craftsman in way sadder condition tho for parts for my Echo Kioritz 302 and John Deere 30, I just need the fuel cap and ignition coil which I hope is good, rest of parts will be for sale or trade. I only paid $18 shipped on an eBay auction. I did some dumpster saw finding myself the other day, found a running Homie Super XL Ao at the landfill! Needs some missing parts which I’m working on getting.

A good day at the races! (Racing from one garage sale to the next!)
A pretty little Homie w/case for $10:



And a threesome for $50. An early '60s McCullough 200:



And a pair of JD 80EVs:



One with a 28" B&C:

I think I just might suck! O

That threesome was an amazing deal that I would have definitely bought. Sadly, I didn’t get to any sales today because we had our own.

I did have time to go to one yard sale early morning. Found an Echo Kioritz 302 for $10! Ran good few yrs back but someone put gas in bar oil tank and wrecked oiler. I already had 2 of these and can now make 1 good saw.

That's a good-looking saw! Nice find! O

Got these for free from the dump. Not sure how they are inside but the Solo looks like it was run over lol

Nice! What brand is the yellow and black one? What model is the Homelite?

 

[altatim]

The models are an Xl-1, Poulan Pro 260, Solo 635, and Pioneer P25 or something like that. The serial tag is gone and there isn't anything else on it

What are you plans with the Homelite XL1?

What are you plans with the Homelite XL1?

I want to tear it down and see how it looks inside. I have another XL-1 that runs good and a SuperMini that needs some parts. This XL-1 is more or less identical to the SuperMini so we will see if I don't just get rid of the supermini instead. It fired on prime and actually ran o.k. when I filled it with fuel. Probably needs a diaphragm kit and maybe seals.
As for the other three saws the solo I will tear down and see if there is anything usable and try to part it out, the Pioneer ran on prime and is likely a candidate for fixing up, and the Poulan ran on prime so I might fix it up as a beater saw to throw on the quad/leave in the truck. Kind of a valueless piece and if someone steals it Im not really worried.

Good plan. Thanks for letting me know. I might be interested in that supermini if you do get rid of it like you mentioned.

Picked up this Husqvarna 261 last night from a guy near my hunting camp. Starts right up runs and idles great. Get more into it when I get it home. Seems like it was well cared for.

Will you give it a 262 piston or use it as is. Btw, wouldn’t hurt to put a little loc tite on the muffler bolts. Lost mine in the sawdust

I would like to do the conversion just have never done it before so I am reading about that here. Pretty sure I can manage it though. Also have to check the oiler as it doesn’t appear to be working. I have not had a chance to tear into it yet so mabe a cleaning is in order IDK.

 

[david newbie]

I did it with a meteor piston. I also gave it a 3 shoe clutch off a 359

Did you swap the muffler out or mod the 261 muffler?

I may have opened the muffler a little. I also have an aftermarket muffler I never used if you want it. Not sure why I didn’t use it. I like my sawing to be quiet, so I imagine I didn’t do much porting. I sold the saw, as my hands seem to be very sensitive to vibration

I think I can mod the stock muffler, I am looking for a three shoe clutch now. Can’t seem to locate one so prob leave it as is until I do.

get an aftermarket 359 clutch, it fits fine I think. ( it was a while ago)
