    My uncle passed away and this was his saw. He bought it new from my grandfather who sold Homelites since the 50's. My uncle took real good care of his stuff and the pictures will show that. Serial number is 44517928 so if I remember correctly that should make it a 1974 model. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. Original 16 inch Homelite bar on it and you can still make out some of the lettering. Did a compression check and it has at least 140 PSI. Cousin tried to get it to run and couldn't get it to idle. he must have played with the adjustment screws as one was clear shut. Put them to normal position and ran great. Pulled the idle screw down and it is basically perfect now. Restarts with barely one pull. Very nice example with the stickers and paint in place. Don't know if the bar cover is original but it was on it so it's included. Tachs out at 10,500 RPM and smooth.

    If you want close ups of anything I can easily do that. I'd like to get $85.00 or best offer. Either PM me or post here and I'll keep this open till September 1 High offer gets it. Shipping will be actual and not included in the price. I can give you a shipping cost if you send me your zip code. If your close to Dayton , Ohio let me know and you can pick it up or run it if you wish. Also have a couple of original saw boxes too. We have all of Grandpa's parts stash but I'm pretty sure dad want's to keep those as he is a old school Homelite guy.
