Homelite XL-104 Number 2
มุมมอง 2814 วันที่ผ่านมา
Another XL-104 that some IDIOT converted to points ignition and did a (expletive) bad job doing so. After serial number 2850889 the solid state ignitions used a different set of parts. Just hoping I can find the correct flywheel

Homelite XL-104, Another Ignition Rant
มุมมอง 1721 วันที่ผ่านมา
If this repair was done at a shop the mechanic literally stole 200 plus dollars from the saw owner. If the owner of the saw did this himself he was mentally challenged with more money than sense. He honestly could have bought another saw cheaper. I am so tired of incompetence. The flywheel, back plate, module, condenser, coil, and switch box were removed and replaced from this saw and a XL-103 ...

Somehow I lost the crank bearing, no idea where it rolled off to, but I'll be watching these videos again to see where it might have slipped off to.

Oologahans Homelite Collection 67 saws
มุมมอง 284หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the whole collection. After I repair three saws, I will be actively searching out a decal maker for Canadian and less common Homelite saws not available from the one Homelite decal maker. One manual oiler, the Super XL67 and one manual oiler that will be converted to an auto oiler the XL-901 all the rest are auto oilers with manual override.

Homelite XL-104 Number 2 and a Rant
มุมมอง 159หลายเดือนก่อน
I was hoping this XL-104 had the solid state ignition under it, but its not looking good. Many worthless saw mechanics strip these solid state ignition in favor of points or the laziest and most worthless just slap a chip in it. A large number of mechanics are just plain ignorant hacks that return a piece of equipment in worse condition than when they got it
Tillotson HS67A rebuild for XL-904
มุมมอง 19หลายเดือนก่อน
The XL-904 manual shows that the HS56A was in the XL-904, but as many of you know Homelite often replaced carbs during a production run, sometimes even from a different manufacturer. This XL-904 had the HS67A which was also in the Terry built XL-902 from the same era

Homelite VI-955 Air Box Replacement
มุมมอง 222 หลายเดือนก่อน
My old air box was missing the metal iD tag and I don't generally buy any saws without ID tags. If everyone did that stolen saws would be real hard to sell. The VI air box is a pain in the butt to replace and I found I had a broken muffler tab, bummer. I have several saws in the que to get straighten out or restored. this will be at least 6 months worth of work.

Those are Fuggin beautiful saws man! If Denis Hopper walked in with his cowboy hat on, would you let him start one?
Oh the new cylinder and pistons and rings are for an Old Blue
You don't need 2 new cylinders and pistons and rings do you?
What are the part numbers
Healy coil.
Al, I know quite a number of people that would do the same thing. Lots of people do not like transistorized/electronic ignition and would rather have points. Points ignition usually will fire at a lower crank speed and is much easier to troubleshoot. I like them either way. That 904 I sent to you someone converted to points. Dean told me the electronic ignition in them wasnt good to begin with, so it was a plus to have points. I wasnt around back when these were new. Just my $0.02
I get what your saying, but if some people didn't care for solid state ignition, why would they buy one? This was a very low production saw and I would say Homelite built very few solid state ignition saws during this era. XL-104, XL-850, and XL-870 being the only models with solid state or capacitor discharge, which is a little different. The advantage to these saws was that they were more dust and moisture resistant.
Odd that the fixings were clued in. I think you are right, it was changed because someone did not know what they were doing
It is realy odd this was converted, I cannot see the logic in someone doing that
U 😊😊 will have 2 find a decal shop that makes custom decals they do 4most things U we have 2 look 😊😊 OMG 5 1O 2O24
I have contacted 5 decal shops, none will do it. I may have another shop that may do it, but over 150.00 a decal set
Have one that's complete ,minus rope / recoil . R they worth anything. It has brush cutter attachment on it w/ no chain. I want to sell possibly.
what saw?
I need rope / recoil for wizzer 55 . I believe it's a 1958.
It is great that you can still get the parts and interesting how the parts changed during production
Yes it's one reason I settled on Homelite saws, there are still thousands of parts out there
You have a great collection and 67 does sound like a huge collection
It does seem odd that they converted it to points. I agree, it is good to convert back to original
I just added it up, 200.00 to convert back to solid state ignition, 75.00 more than I paid for the saw
I wish we had the earlier xl-1xx series in my neck of the woods
I never thought about it that you really mostly saw XL-76 and Super XL-130s up north, Very few XL-101, 102, 103, and 104's up there
I managed to snag a 102 here in Quebec
Tripod or a cameraman are essential for an unboxing. We are lucky to have two reliable people over here that do custom decals, it may be worth contacting them even though you would have to pay international shipping. Details for both are on the My Old Machine forum, we use Restoration Decals. Let us know if you need contact details or if you want me to ask
Yes, I think you use a guy named Titch?
That carb looks very small to be able to work on, I am not sure I could do it
Need a XL 12, complete not running.
The only manual oiler I have right now is a Terry built Homelite Super XL-67. I don't even look at manual oilers anymore
I don’t blame you! Manual is a pain. This xl 12 likely early 70’s. Homelite part of textron but still in New York. I sold them lubricants when they built plant in Gastonia NC. 16:1, 32:1 and finally Exact Mix which was a superb oil. Later bought by John Deere.
Are xl 12 chain brakes hard to find I got one off eBay and it’s on my channel now
The only ones I've seen with an actual chain brake and not a hand guard were the Terry saws. I could not find it on your channel
Great info thanks
Your garden is looking good. We are starting to grow more ourselves, supermarkets over here are making huge profits and the prices increase daily
I have pile of those that are junk just parts. I have two 925's that are running. I dont restore saws. I just try to put them back in service and actually use them. No plastic saws that I use only Maganese and aluminum.
Cool saw. I have a lot of Homelite saws, none in that color scheme. I need to find one.
I have about a dozen red green and white ones, very hard to find them.
That looks like a great addition to your collection
Ive had a 71, and 72 terry in that color , but have newer style fuel cap
Yes, after 1970 Terry built a red, green, and white saw they called the XL automatic, they built that saw into the late 1970's, maybe a few years later
Great to see an update on your projects. We have a spot welder we use for welding tabs back on
Thank you. my problem was the L shaped bracket that held the nut was broken. I suppose I could have removed the broken piece and had it brazed, but another muffler body was a cheaper and more permanent solution
I couldn’t tell, do you have a xl 102? I think their am as well
I have two XL-102 Automatics, one completely restored, very few XL-102's were auto oilers with manual override, most were manual oilers. The auto oilers had white backgrounds on the side decals and the manual oilers had black backgrounds on the side decals
Will it say it on the terry badge? Because mine is a 102 with 101 clutch cover and recoil
🤔 que clásica HOMELITE gracias por el video
I have the same machine but 2 wd . On my engine one cyl has zero compression in . What is special about the crank ? I havent removed my engine yet. Is the shaft tapered or straight ? mine is a 14 hp I found a good deal on a 16 hp with a tapered shaft I think tapered is for generators , pressure washers and special equipment . Does this vanguard 14 hp have a straight shaft or tapered ? do you know if its a 1'' ? Im trying to figure out if the 14 hp is tappers before someone else buys the 16 hp with a tapered shaft incase i can use it. The shroud is missing on mine so the serial # is gone , Can you pleas explain the crank situation whats unusual about it ? Thank you .
The shaft is tapered, nothing really special about the engines its just that it is no longer made. Generally on these engines when you lose one cylinder its due to the valves getting out of adjustment
You need to get the spec number off the engine ID tag and find the Briggs crankshaft reference chart in order to see if the taper is the right Sze comparing it to the spec number on the 16hp. Frankly it's easier to rebuild the engine than to remove the gear reduction box off the engine and find out the taper on the 16hp is wrong, or needs to be machined
Wow!!!!!!!! I’m jealous!
I just got an Xl 701 off eBay how much are They worth
Hard to say, largely depends on condition. It's a very uncommon saw made maybe one or two years In Canada, by Terry Industries, it would be worth well over 500 if it was a XL-701AM, but manual oiler models sell in the 200-300 dollar range
@@oologahgardentractorandcha3055 ok I payed 180 not running in ok Condition
I hope you are able to find another source for decals. Sugar Creek Supply has done a phenomenal job with what is offered now...I just think the demand from all of us just plain is more than they time Joe can spend at this point.
I sure don't blame him for not having the time after seeing all the different decals he supplies for people. I will take pictures and measurements on Canadian saws and I may buy some of his sets to have another supplier make sets he doesn't offer.
I hope you find a reliable decal supplier. It does seem very hard to find someone reliable to do most things these days
Been there . I understand .
Good saws not enough good honest people like us
That is a lot of damage but great you have the parts
That XP1020 is killer. Finding good bars is definitely a challenge especially for the older ones.
I have owned those saws for years and learned from your video that they were one year production saws. No wonder I hadnt seen others around here. There are tons of 925s around but very few 90X series saws. I never noticed that there was a choke shaft bushing missing on the 901. I am glad you have a good bar cover for the 904. Judging by the bang up job you do on your other saws, you will have these fixed up as good as new. I really like the idea of building a 901AO saw. I think you are spot on about the 901 carnage. It sure looked odd having such a nice cylinder and a trashed piston. That 904 is a good runner, im sure you will enjoy it. Keep up the good videos
Thank you, you made it possible, BTW, did you know that ALL Super XL-925's were made in Canada? Between 1966 and 1978 Homelite made many many changes in model numbers and only slight changes in the saws, it was a marketing ploy to sell newer model saws. the funny thing is some of the real old slow rpm saws like the Super Wiz were made up into the the mid 1980's. The Super XL Automatic was made for 31 years with very few changes like paint color and ignition systems.
Great additions to your collection
Great score, I am looking forward to seeing the restoration
My 903 has the choke just like your 901
I just looked, so does my XL-903. I think there might have been a few others that had either the rod or the lever and others of the same model that they switched to the right side pull choke. You never know with Homelite
The shop roof looks like a lot of work
After replacing about ten 2x6 joists. I need to put a 2x8 band around the outside concrete blocks and build pitched roof trusses then screw on metal roof panels and add smart siding to the acute angled sides. I will spray foam the inside ceiling
That looks like a great saw and it is good to know the history
Thank you, its not often you get to know the history of an old machine. I was also lucky enough to fit the original 28" long bar it came with.
Great saw! I've yet to find a good deal on marketplace in my area. That saw would've been listed for $500 or more here in southern Oregon!
I'm trying to score a period bar for it now. Thanks
Hey I picked up a Homelite XL automatic can you tell me when they’re made and are they rare
Does it have an ID tag? or can you post a video to your channel or email me?
@@oologahgardentractorandcha3055 I will do a video on it but it will be a while because it is coming from Canada
Little lean but sounds good
Should I richen up the high needle?
Rich in it up on the low I would love to talk to you on the phone if your ok with it if you have discord or phone number Or I can give you my number if you’re OK with it
Give it more fuel on the low end also I would love to talk to you on the phone if you want my number if you’re OK with it
Nice saw! What did you give for it if you don't mind telling? If you don't want to that's ok.
75
That's a great deal!
Sounds awesome! I love the saw What gas mix do you use?
I use amsoil 50:1 in all my old saws
Sweeeeeet
Cool find!
I have a 1964 homelite super XL manual Oiler only on my channel
