I also enjoy the history and finding out the little differences between saws. Are you looking for input on this project? If so, what kind of input would you like? I'm no expert by any means but would love to help any way I can!

Okay, a friend of mine here locally has an XL-700 that qualifies. It has a red fuel tank (with original serial tag), blue throttle handle, red & white starter, drivecase cover appears have been replaced. Originally I believed that the XL-700 wasn't produced in red & white. But when I first worked on this saw and told him my theories on how it came to look as it does now, he found other red & white XL-700's on Youtube. I'll try to find those videos and post the links. Also I believe another member here has a red & white variation XL-700...any pics would be great! Here's a few of my friends saw:  Hal XL-700 (a) by Admin Admin, on Flickr  Hal XL-700 (b) by Admin Admin, on Flickr  Hal XL-700 (c) by Admin Admin, on Flickr |

I know my 700 is red, white and blue. I don't remember which parts are which colors. Just looked like it had some parts replaced due to damage at some point. I'd have to look at it again but I thought it appeared to be blue originally?

MOST of the 700's I've seen were blue & white. But there's these few anomalies...I'd love to see a saw like the one on FB that has a serial tag on it and the original covers w/labeling! Edit: Here's a pretty definitive pic!  Homelite-XL-700-Chainsaw-Runs-Good by Admin Admin, on Flickr |

All that needed to be done to see that my XL-700 is red,white,& green is to look at my thread where the pics of the saw are.The entire saw is red & white except for the handle which is green.
