Newcomer seeking clarification on models

[smalldog]

I apologize in advance if this question has already appeared and been answered elsewhere.... but I couldn't find it, if it's there.

I have a Super EZ Automatic and want to replace the guide bar and chain.  I currently have a 20" Oregon bar and chain.  In researching my options (very few), especially on the Oregon part finder, I am seeing a bunch of Homelite models listed, but don't know if they are the same machine with different names/models, or if they are all different models.  So, finally, my question is:  Are these the same or different models?

Super EZ Automatic

Super EZAO

SEZ

SEZ AO

Also, if anyone knows of a bar/chain combination that will work with my Super EZ Automatic, I would appreciate the input!h

Thanks!

All of those models are the same,just a different way of saying them.I know an Oregon D196 mount bar will fit with an Oregon 72 chain.I'll see what I can come up with.I think chainsawlady might still have some bars for the SEZ,give her a try.

As Ed said, they're all the same model. Super EZ Automatic Oiling would be the full name, Super EZAO, SEZ or SEZ-AO would be abbreviations. Ed could probably write the book on SEZs, lol.

What length of bar/chain are you looking for? 20" is on the bigger size for an SEZ. I have a 16" on mine and I feel its a good power-to-weight ratio. My Oregon book only goes up to 16", which is part number 160RNDK095. You will want 3/8 pitch and .050 gauge chain most likely, and Oregon 72 is a very popular one that has a bunch of variants depending on your needs.

My Oregon book does list a bar/chain combo for 16", part # 29571. It does have vanguard chain which is designed to reduce kickback, so may look into buying separately if that doesn't fit your application. I actually like the vanguard chain for my limbing saw because it doesn't seem to bind as bad.

Good Luck and welcome aboard!

Very easy to get the wrong bar for the EZ saws. NOTE that I do not say that this bar fits your saw.
I think some of the EZ's required a different tail section size on their bars.
Also some Homies use LP Low Pro roller tips bars and some used standard  type chain.
Match the bars roller tip to your sprocket.

I'm new to this site and may not be receiving email notifications to the threads YET??

I can give you parts info for a new roller tip 16 inch bar which take a 59DL chain.


Here is a Oregon roller tip bar and it also has a list of all the other saws it MIGHT fit. This bar fits my EZ's

Here is a oregon link for IDing bars by part number.
