Homelite XL Automatic Red & Green

[jbsaws]

I was driving down the street this morning and decided to pull into a second hand store, this was on the shelf. Didn't buy it. Came home, sent Trib a message, he replied back quickly with info (thanks!). I went back later in the afternoon and brought it home.

7 digit serial number 205xxxx. Trib tells me they were only made for a year or so in the mid-60's. Starts and runs like new. The bar scabbard is hand made and is stitched with copper wire. Even has a chrome muffler (makes it run even faster!)

(Picture posting: sometimes it posts the actual picture. This time I got a "photo deleted" message in the preview, so I deleted the (IMG) before and after the picture address and it posted the link. Maybe the pictures are too big? Or, maybe I haven't paid my picture bill Click on the links to see the photos.

Roger that! In fact, it's in such good shape I keep looking for evidence that it's been restored, or at least repainted, but it all looks original.

Notice that the manual pump is not installed. It was a dealer option.

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for that? it looks like it was never used.

i think one of the bucking spike nuts is missing

[jbsaws]

Cost: $80.

Bucking spike nut missing: yeah, I noticed that when I got it home, should have only paid $70 ;D

Did you notice the spikes and hex head bolts are silver. I think the silver spikes were the early ones and the later ones were dark.
