Hello members,
I am a new member and I am trying to rebuild my dad's Homelite Super XL Automatic chainsaw that he bought back around 1970. The model tag is stamped AO and the SN is 13081823. This is the the original sprocket and drum, so it was slipping and definitely needs to be replaced. The drum is stamped with the number A59553-1, but I am not having much luck referencing this to anything. Dad bought one that he thought would fit a couple years ago, but it was not the correct one and will not fit. So I am trying to find a cross reference to a sprocket and drum that is available. I will also need to replace the bearing and bushing I would assume if they are not included already in a kit.
Anything else that I might look at replacing why I am going through this saw? Over the years it has been a great saw and it has sawed a lot of big and small trees. Dad said he even did one that was about 5' across.... wow since I know he is not one to embellish!
Also, I have tried to date this, but using a java script that someone posted, but the date was not correct. If someone knows what this date might be, I would be curious of the DOM date. I know it was bought around 1970 since I was about 1yr old and he did his original cutting on 13 giant elm trees since one morning he found a big limb laying on the sidewalk one morning where I could be playing at some point.
Thanks in advance for all the assistance!
