Those pulley covers made good ash trays, they weren't so hot as a pulley cover, one good ding and they interfered with the pulley. Those old brass/ball bearing starters worked well, if kept clean. I am looking for a pulley cover for a 4-20.....maybe I should be looking for old ash trays instead of pulley covers ;D

Is this the only saw they were used on? I have about 1/2 dozen of them but could never figure out what saw they were for. .

Most Homelites made before 1960 use those covers, some models, like the big geardrives used them awhile longer, then switched to a bolt-on cover. The old style starter survived until the mid to late '60s.

I have the Brass Ball drives for the pull start, not the covers guys. Sorry for the mixup. ;D

The old style starter survived until the mid to late '60s. This concurs with the info from chainsawlady. Joyce says these covers fit a variety of pre-60 saws. I am going to get her to send me one from a totally different saw...a 660G i think.

I'm not just another pretty face!!! LOL
Three chainsaws back on my bench list is a 5-30N, I think I almost have the parts gathered up, it is in very restorable condiction. I'll shoot some pics, when I have healed up enough to lift it.

My point was only to agree with you in that particular cover was used on a wide range of saws with different decals in the center. ;D Can't wait to see the pics of the 5-30

No offence what so ever was taken, sharing information is a good part of what we are here for. I know so little about so much.

That is the spring cover not the recoil cover. Bill
