Rare Homelite

[lumberjack48]

 I strip cut back in the 60's with one of these. We also had a C7 and the C9, i preferred the C9, because of the power it had and the red and green color.
The C9 would be a hand full on that auger 8)

Would the auger have been meant for ice or dirt?  Looks icey to me.

  I was searching old saws and ran into it, personally i have never seen one. Its an ice auger, i think it would be a good one because the C5 starts so easy and easy to maintain.
In the early 60's i cut a lot of big White Pine with the C9 Homelite. Good Ole saw and it built my arms up for arm bending ;)

LJ wonder how many more rpm you would get out of that saw with a newer roller tip bar compared to the original bar

[Jeff]

Yer not getting these photos from another website are you? I took it for granted that was your photo.

  Jeff,  Darn you look mean in that picture, the C9 picture is off the spec sheet. The C5 auger is off google. I hope I'm not in to much trouble  :(

[Jeff]

You can't do that. The trouble may come when the copyright owner contacts me wanting your information for a law suit. Don't think it doesn't happen. I'd suggest you find out if the photo you posted are copyright free, or get permission, or delete them.

I never knew there was such a thing as a rare Homelite

Rarity means very little to most except an avid collector .

That c-5 was the first new saw I ever ran. I remember it being loud, and also spittin' fire out it's so called muffler as it got closer ta dark.  :D
