What years were the model 17,MCS & other "firsts" made by Homelite? My youngest brother was recently in an old barn & saw an old Homelite chainsaw.He said he went to pick it up & almost got a hernia,Lol.I asked him to go back & see if he could find the model of the saw & possibly take some pics.It was owned by a fella who passed away a couple of yrs.ago & he was in his 80's.From what my brother told me the saw is seized.

The Model 17 was made from February 1954 - July 1956 The MCS was made from 1950 - 1952. First production Homelite Gasoline model chainsaw The 26lcs was made from April 1951 - August 1953 the EZ original was made from March 1956 - 1957. First direct drive chain saw manufactured by Homelite This is all off of Mike Acres website those were real men who ran these saws back in the day  Maybe a little diesel will free it up, I have used marvel mystery oil to free up engines on quads before, it worked well |
