Homelite XL chainsaw

So I know this isn?t a tractor question but i am out of opetions. I found a old Homelite chainsaw for those who know about these saws it?s call homelite XL the model number is 10695. I found it with no bar or chain just the saw. I was wondering if anyone knew the size of the bar that you can put on it it?s a fairly small chainsaw thanks for your time.
 
I did a Google search and found many references to models UT 10965, UT 10695A, and UT 10695B. Several places showed parts diagrams, but these did not include the bar and chain. I found one reference to bars and chains "suitable for UT 10695" These were 14" and 16".

You can also go to "chainsaw collectors corner". Look it up by manufacturer and then find the exact saw in the listings. Pretty complete web site.
 
If my memory serves correctly.......... the XL was the smallest, cheapest model, and came with a 10" bar. There was an XL-2, very similar, I think came with a 12" bar. SUPER 2 was another version, but I believe it had a slightly increased bore, and a 14" bar. All the same frame, and bars would interchange.
 
I remember when XL12's were popular, dad bought one for a guy working in the woods, after a couple of days asked him how he liked it, he said, it takes too many cigarettes! Dad said, HUH? and the lumberjack said every time we stop to gas up we have a smoke, this saw has such a small gas tank we are smoking way too much! Soon after that we switched to Jonsered, and I will use them till I die!
 
Oregon (brand) makes a lot of chains and guide bars. If you can't find an answer elsewhere, might email them.
 

Depending on which XL it is, it was the #1 leading seller and was state of the art at one time. They were great saws when in good tune, and as with every other saw, with a sharp chain. Bar lengths varied, most were around 16-18". I have my late BIL's, nice saw. It's not my #1 go to saw, but it's a good saw from an older era. I never had a problem with it starting and it's a good saw on smaller wood. Anyone that says they are junk is either confusing it with another later saw or is just confused altogether. If an XL was my only saw I might feel a little limited, but my firewood would be cut for sure.
 


There is the little teeny plastic XL (which I have no use for) http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/ed1d619968136da688256af40002b8f7/ce0f71a23c6c52da88256c26004cc301?OpenDocument

and then there is the XL I'm speaking of, a much better saw- http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/ed1d619968136da688256af40002b8f7/9f34db001d6d6f6e88256c26004d6e0a?OpenDocument


The 2nd one went through a bunch of variations from 1964 to 1988. If that's the one in question, it's a good saw.
