Did you actually find some belts?

Good to know something I have said was actually useful information. I hope to have a second 750 here in the next few weeks, the deal is already worked out and the saw is "on hold" for me.

Bought a second Homelite 750 from a local man, via my long running CL wanted ad. This one is not pretty but has great compression, no cracks/breaks that I have found and it came with a bar/chain around 30" long.

Nice collection..
That second 750 does have good metal.
What will you do with the XL-800?

[roanoker494]

The XL-800 is a parts saw because the fuel tank is broken at the seem. Unlike the 900 series that is bolted together the 800 series was bonded. I have stripped it down and sold/traded off some of the parts.

Bonding the tank was some engineer's idea in the late '60s to save money in production costs. They tried it on the XL-100 series too and it didn't work.
