- I got these from a collector in New York for a very good price. I don't normally buy manual oiler saws, but the seller added into the XL-904 sale for cheap as it had a bad piston and cylinder (which I have). The XL-901 I think is a oddball one year saw? I've been looking for a Xl-904 for 5 years and haven't seen but one or two before, none for sale
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
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 score, I am looking forward to seeing the restoration
