XL Bar and Chain

[birdog]

I have what I believe to be an original metal case XL. I need help with a replacement bar and chain. It has a 10 inch bar on it now. What are the bar length options and chain options for my saw?

10" - 42 link chain
12" - 48 link chain
14" - 53 link chain
16" - 59 link chain

All chain lengths are 3/8" pitch

Forgive my ignorance but will any bar fit my saw? My Stihl is my workhorse saw so It's easy to know what bar and chain it uses. When I got my Homelite my grandfather in law gave me an extra bar and chain. I took the original bar and hung it on my wall in the garage for safe keeping. Unfortunately the replacement bar and chain were not in the original packaging so I have no idea what the part numbers are. Thanks again, you have been a great help!

No, the XL uses a small pattern Homelite bar. There wasn't much else like it.

Homelite bar numbers are something like: PT-14371-G4, PT meaning Power Tip (roller), 14", 37 is 3/8" pitch, G4 is the bar mount style for small Homelites. Insert 12 or 16 in place of the 14 for those bar part numbers.

The 10" bar is a hard track, HT-10001-G4
The 12" comes in PT or HT
The 14 and 16" bars are PT
