Homelite XL UT# 10655 - looking for bar & chain options .........................

New to the board, but have been lurking, reading and learning for quite a while.

Some time ago, I found my Dad's old Homelite in the barn when visiting my Mom. Carb has an '87 date code on it (I think it's a date code). Probably has not run in 15 yrs. Put a carb kit in last weekend and it fired on 3rd pull!

It has a 16" bar that is getting long in the tooth and I want to replace it.  I have looked and looked and the only bar/chain combo I can find is Oregon 27859, which is a 14".  It's certainly a fair price at under $30 delivered on Amazon, but I really want a 16".

Can anyone direct me to a decent 16" combo ?

Thanks!

Welcome to the board. Someone here is sure to be able to help you but there are lots of different possibilities for bar mount and chain. Can you post the model and serial number, or any other numbers on the ID tag. A picture would help to identify just which saw you have there and then a proper combination could be suggested. There are several people here who have parts. Chainsawlady has a bunch of bars and knowledge that goes back to the first Homelites.

From the reading I've done, my saw used an Oregon A061 mount pattern as seen here:

I guess that is an XL then, I failed to register the UT# in the title. Check with chainsawlady, message her, she has a lot of bars. Take a look at:

I can see about a dozen on her shelf marked "XL 16""

Happy sawing!
