Homelite XL12 - Best Firewood Chainsaw Ever? (Let's find out)🤔

[@KentuckyFriedFixes]

Great video Dan! My favorite saw of all time the XL-12. I think that bar would look great on either of the red XLs, both look to be in great shape. If I was trapped on a Desert Island off the coast of Alaska, I'd want a good old XL-12 and a couple of chains!

[@KainKustomGarage]

I totally agree! Love ya Brother 😉

[@goosecreeksouth9327]

Music to my ears those are my favorite saws 😊

[@jamiewykes8585]

i bought a "Big Red" Super XL 10 or so years ago for $10. It looked barely used. It needed a fuel line and one side of the chain was trashed by a rock. It's new enough to have a bar code on the sticker. It runs great.

[@KainKustomGarage]

That's Awesome!

Well done my friend....from Australia

Thanks Brother! I appreciate you 😁

Iam 65 and that Blue Super xl 12 was the first saw my Dad bought around 68 , i wish i had kept it , unfortunately my mom let a junk man clean up some stuff , the saw i think had messed up , and He had bought a Stuhl 028 wb mid 80s , that i still have , i was the head firewood getter for many years , for mom & pop , then , later for myself& my family . And still hold that title !! haha , Enjoyed the Video Dan , as always !! Thanks !! Happy New Year to Ya Sir !!

I had a blue XL12 with the hex fuel cap and aircleaner knob in the late 60's. We were harvesting Radiata pine for posts, strainers and stays in govt plantations around Southland in the South Island of New Zealand. Reliable machine. Too many memories.. God Bless.

Im getting into HomeLite and you're a wealth of info. I have 2 Super XLs with very little use, both a blue one and a red one. Tomorrow, im trading a backpack blower i don't use for a nice HomeLite C72 (80cc). Excited! You probably know, but Sugar Creek Supply sells the decals for the bars and entire decal kits for the saws. They have all the old saws not just HomeLite. Im in Atlanta Metro area and there are so many old saws available on Facebook. Keep em coming man! Good stuff

[@KainKustomGarage]

Great to hear! Appreciate you man 😊

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

Yep I have several of different versions of the XL12's one is a Circle saw. I had seen videos of them but never laid eyes on one. Then one was at a estate auction So I bought it. Today a old friend I hadnt talked to in decades came by. I got it down and it fired right up. Them I had to fire up a XL 12. He loved hearing the crackle of the loud stack exhaust and seeing the blue smoke from the 1/2 pint oil to the gallon fuel mixture. Reminded him of back in the day. And I enjoyed it immensly also.

[@KainKustomGarage]

May I suggest a 16" Bar, fast and lite. (your back will thank you at end of day.) Rum simi or full skip tooth chain w/ the 24". (or change sprocket) or you boil the gas - too hot on the saw... hard on the power head

[@dennisharrison4744]

My first saw was one of the old blue homlites realy good saw I went to our local southern states they sold them and parts I went there got new rope pully and a pull rope done and spring mine was a awsome saw I got it back in 1987

Used to have a firewood business in the 60s. I had an XL 12 and cut hundreds of cords with it. It was a great saw and easy to maintain. It would cut up to 3 feet in diameter longs by double cutting with a 20 inch bar.

Kane I'm your neighbor over here in Idaho I sure like all your old saws have a bunch of the old XL's and supers I have a couple that look in really great shape the cylinder and piston are scored but the rest of saws perfect where can I get piston ring kit for the saws or a top end and kit that won't break the bank

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

Many times a saw with scoring will still run ok. as long as the piston rings are not stuck or broken. I buy new parts on E bay. And Leons Chainsaw sells parts also. Using 1/2 pint oil to the gallon the extra oil helps seal and heal the scoring a bit.

[@KainKustomGarage]

[@mtwseneca]

I took one home from a friend's barn where I cut grass for her, did a little carb work, runs great, offered it to my son who heats with wood. He told me he turned one down for free....Too heavy. I got his old Husky 142 because it would not oil the chain (the plastic had warped at the bar creating an oil leak before it could get up to the bar - finally figured it out / grind and fit the housing to seal it up). I cut down a tree with the Husky and noticed it cuts fast as long as the RPM is kept high- way higher than the old XL. Nice vid, you should wear hearing protection though. Mike

[@KainKustomGarage]

Thanks Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to comment, yes need to wear ear protection more for sure!

I have two XL-12s, one from 1964 and the other from 1966. I also have a Lombard Comango which is a near-identical clone. All 3 have stack mufflers and bright blue paint! They're easily my favorite saws out of the 19 saws (and counting) in my collection so far. I recently installed a 063-gauge 21" bar on the saw from 1966 and it still cuts through oak logs like butter. That saw came as a freebie from my neighbor but the others I found on eBay for under $100. It doesn't seem like they're all that common here in MA, but I could be wrong. Anyway thanks for the cool video! I love that symphony of saws at the end!

Another great video from you.😊I know this is super irrelevant to the video but i find i can’t wrap my head around how people use saws from the 60’s with zero anti vibration, zero chainbrake and a single throttle trigger like the Xl-12 .I have several saws from the 60’s myself but i always use saws that are more up to code to todays standards😅

[@KainKustomGarage]

I know right! Some tuff Dudes back then😁

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

You can keep your plastic saws with loosey goosey Vibration isolation and no manual oiler. Im 72 and running theold saws hasnt effected me that much. I probably have 40 of those plastic saws. Huskys stills poulans newer homelites ect. Never use those. I would happily trade them for more magnesium and aluminum saw's. I bought a new husky Rancher 55 in 2000. and it never gave the good trouble free service like my old 1960's XL 12 does.

[@613kc]

@@KainKustomGarage it's all we knew. Great job on the Video much respect. 👍 imo 1 pump of oil every 4" of diameter; keeps it wet 😉 You know what I mean...

[@paulmaxwell8851]

Things like chainbrakes were designed to stop homeowners from hurting themselves. Just like the safeties on cordless power tools that require you to let go of the ladder and use both hands to start it (I disable them). Dumb and un-necessary, designed for the dumbest of the dumb, not professionals. I've been using chainsaws since I was a teenager, some fifty years ago. Self-taught out of necessity. I had a few near-misses in the beginning and learned from them. Rule number one: always be aware of your bar tip at all times. If the tip doesn't accidently come in contact with something while you're busy sawing, there can be no kickback. It's that simple.

[@martinherrington4140]

I use it every fall for bucking my winter's firewood, and use a newish Stihl MS180C for everyday chores. Cheers from central British Columbia, Canada, in ranching and logging country.

My dad had an XL12 blue. I don’t know if it was a super or just an XL, it had the later edition powder coated muffler, I thought it had the early style fuel and breather caps but I can’t remember, that saw was very reliable, most homesteaders had one, we also had a two in water pump with the engine of an XL for power, it was a mixture of blue and red, we were mining in Alaska and had both the chainsaw and pump up there. I brought the pump to Az after we quit mining and let it get away, dummy me!

[@KainKustomGarage]

Very cool! Great Story Clint, I appreciate it man 😉

[@Indeewoods]

The most copied saw of its time. I picked one up a few years back at the local Stihl dealer a newer red one. Someone brought it in to get repaired but with the high shop rates it wasn’t worth it I guess so they just abandoned it. The mechanic there told me I could have it. The P&C look like new but it needs some starter parts. I love the history on them and really curious how vibrations are on them compared to those newer plastic non anti vibe saws like the Wild Thing which are pretty brutal😂. Firewood season is here so I better put that one on the list to get running. Need to watch more vids like this to get into the vintage saw groove the firewood stack is at an all time low.😂 Thanks for the motivation! 🍻

I found a warranty card with it from Homelite with the serial number of the saw and a purchase date of 3/27/64 No price though as it wasn’t the receipt. I snagged it because I love old mechanical things and my dad saved an identical saw from our fire department back in the 90s. He Fixed it and used it for years. So now I have two. He also has the model before the XL 12. Think it’s from 58

Grampy was shaping the end of a log and I got too close to his right working near the ground, probably 10 to 15 feet away.

What do you mean "back in the day"? I still use several, have 2 needing a part or repair but running, and I have parts enough to assemble one or two more. My newest one with electronic ignition came to me very dissembled and I am not sure what carb should go with it. I have one on a clearing saw who's coil died and I can't find the part. That carb takes the same rebuild kit. I don't really want to guess, and the Canadian service manuals are hard to find. I know iit runs because I tested it years ago after putting the engine back together. Have no idea why it was apart. I think a mentally challenged person took it apart. Anyway I am tempted to just try a known working XL-12 carb., maybe with a new kit installed. I think it had a pyramid type reed valve...and I think I saw one a few months ago lol Biggest difficulty I have been having is getting the manual pumps to pump. This is stopping the use of two XL-12 right now....of course I can't really use more than the three working now. I learned about these saws first when my Grandfather gave me a box of Homelite XL-12's and Lombard saw parts. Made a saw of many colours that ran, and I had no real training. Then when my Grandfather died 20 years ago, I got his blue XL-12 in working order, and an older blue one that can still be restored with cleaning and carb kit. I told people how much I liked this saw, and the universe started bringing me parts and saws needing attention. I haven't had to build more working saws from what I have, since I am getting older and my current XL-12's work great ;-) Red one with manual oiler and automatic oil says XL Automatic??? Runs like a very scared cat lol

[@markluxton3402]
