    Model 2000,from late 60's - early 70's. 114cc/7 cubic inch monster!! That makes just 2 more Homie's I want for the collection & I'm done - a 750 (top of the list) & 3100G (late 60's 114cc gear drive beast,its pretty scarce & in high demand)

    I haven't done much other than work & sleep since late June this year,so I deserve a reward :D:whistle: :yes:

    Chainsaw Huge Homelite 2000, 114cc, Runs Great!! :ups:

    There was a 100cc homie offered to me on trades recently but I had no use for the thing. So I showed a homie lover and he had one already too. So the guy still has it.

    I just dont collect saws. Cool to find the hard to find ones though. :dex::yes:

    I've got a 750. Never used it. It needs fuel system work and never got to the top of the list...

    My neighbor has a big old blue direct drive gathering dust in the corner of his garage, I'll have to see what it is.

    I went over to my neighbor's place to photo the old blue homie but it wasn't there, his dad took it back a few weeks ago to cut a big tree in his yard. He did have this other old one though, a "Power Machinery LTD made in Canada. Never saw one of these before! I'll photo the homie when he gets it back.

    Whee! Ain't it fun to see all the little variations in these?

    Here's mine, front and center, 36" .404" Oregon Roller Nose

    It sounds pretty good....will really rattle the fillings in your skull :dex::D Already have a bar with new .404 skip chain in the shed that should fit - 40" rollernose that goes on late 70's 650,750 etc.But if this don't quite work,a couple new holes with the drill press will take care of things. ;)
