- I restored this Homelite 7-29 from a running one as seen below. I do not
plan on ever putting gas and oil in it as it is for displaying indoor now.
- This took over 6 months to finish because these saw take a lot of work to
make look this good. Finding new parts for this saw is very hard
- and I was able to get the starter screen and the green rubber spark plug
cover. Those could be the only ones left in existence.
- The decals I made by painting the white part with a stencil and making a
waterslide decal for the black part. I used an automotive base coat
- over epoxy primer and after the decals were put on clear coated with a two
part hardened clear so it should be fuel proof decals and all.
- The internal governor was bypassed by some one else so I left it that way
as it seamed to run good. The aluminum handle bar was polished and
- a clear powder coat was put on to protect from getting dull. Every screw
was stripped and re-platted.



I put a new 44 in bar and chain on it. It could use a better resurfacing on
the bar.
Below is how it looked before I started the restoration.



Below is how it ran before I painted it.
