This was laying in my grandfather's barn along with many other old chainsaws.
The wierd thing on this saw is that there is no name of the make of saw.
Anyone have one like this?, I am leaning towards a homelite but not shure
is it worth anything? Thanks, Brian

looks like a homelite to me but i could wrong i know they were red at somepoint and has a similar shape

 

[Tractor-Holic]

Could be a Homelite, some XL-12s were red and looked (kinda)like that..could be some other brand too though..

 

[Ingersoll444]

Ya... defently looks Homelite to me also. Not sure of the model though

I think its a homelite also .. but is definitely not a XL-12 or a SXL

 

[Tractor-Holic]

Yeah,I googled an XL-12 and its not the same...does look like a Homelite gas cap and recoil on it..might be a later one after "Textron" took over Homelite,I had a small Homelite that was that red color and had that boxy look to it..
Some Craftsman saws were Homelites too for awhile..

I guess its a mystery chainsaw for now but looks like its pointing towards a homelite

 

[chopperfreak2k1]

it could be a homelite but looks more like a shindiawa to me or possibly a jonesered

If the color is original, it certainly appears to be, I would also have to say that it is a Homelite, but I haven't a clue as to a model number.

My brother had a Sears from around 1975 that looked just like it.His was industrial yellow.I would say who ever made saws for Sears back then is the answer.

 

[JeffinIA]

Id have to go with something other than a homelite , But the blue one in the back ground is a Homelite cant tell but a C-5 ?

 

[theCOOP]

fwiw, Homelite, Homelight Consumer Products or TTi (Tectonic Industries (Ridgid, Ryobi, Homelite, etc.)) still makes stuff for Sears. The cordless drills and circular saws and kits at least, and at least one Craftsman tablesaw is the same as the old Ryobi BTS3100.

 

[Bolens 1000]

so, it may be a homelite or some sears brand?.

 

[shadow1961]

What wording is on the top plate?

 

[Bolens 1000]

I'll take a closer look tomorrow and post what it says, I am determined to find out what make of saw this is.

 

[Ingersoll444]

OK... well when I checked it last, I could only see the pic of the top of the saw... and that part where the plate is screwed in, looks just like where the air filter is on my Homelite.

Well looking at the rest of the pic's that I can see now, it defently does not look like any Homelite I have seen!! Maybe its some odd ball Pro model or somehting... But I am thinking its not a Homelite.

 

[DJ in WV]

It may not be. I was basing my guess on the color alone.

Lombard???

I pick "Dayton" as my lottery choice. Tell us who wins please. raying:

 

[Tractor-Holic]

Echo saws were orange/red too,but I haven' seen enough old ones to know if thats what that one is..
