homelite timberman 45
« on: February 24, 2014, 05:35:22 pm »
I have just gotten a Homelite Timberman 45.

*  Where do you find the model # ?    I've looked on the unit for it, but haven't spotted where it is.

*  Are parts still available from Homelite for this unit ?

There are at least two different Homelite Timberman 45 models. The trick is the UTC number on the back of the saw.

This is the older one with a rigid mount carb



This is the newer one with a rubber boot on the intake. It appears to be made by whoever makes the 46?

Mine is the second one down (bottom).

Did Homelite make this?   If not, maybe that's why I can't find the model # (UTC).   Do you know who made it?

I bought the two saws in the pictures like new from pawn shops. The older one, which I like better, was bought in 2000 and the newer one in 2003. I used these saws about 6 yrs before giving them to my son. They are still used by him and he seems well pleased. Other than fuel filters, fuel lines, and carb diaphragms, there have been no problems with them. They are used for fallen timber firewood duty.

Since then I have acquired some more expensive saws for personal use that hold more rpm in the cut. I bought them used.

These Homelites are more like 7000 rpm in the cut where as an equivalent Stihl 025 or MS250 home owner saw will hold 9000 rpm both with .325 chain and 7 tooth spurs. But the Stihl costs twice as much!

I really have no idea---but----looks to me like TTI owns Homelite.

My model is UT10946-D. 

My chain brake has to be held back to operate.  Normally, you use the handle, with the chain brake pulled back.  With this one, you have to hold the chain brake along with the handle.   It does stop the blade when it moves forward; no problem there.   But, you have got to hold the chain brake with the handle. 

Do I need a whole new chain brake?  Or what pieces do I need?

Does Homelite have these parts, or do I need to go to another supplier?

Thanks for showing me these diagrams.   I'm going to take the chain brake apart and see what broken/missing.    About the only way I know of to really pinpoint what's wrong. 

That thing is a fairly heavy saw !!!

My personal experience were with a Husqvarna 350 where someone had pried the thing apart with the clutch engaged and a couple Husqvarna 365's one that looked like a big limb had hit across the brake handle while the saw was cutting and the other just worn out from vibration and use. All three of these were problems found after the purchase of a used chainsaw. The 350 was made different from the 365's.  It is a matter of getting in there and seeing what is going on?

I want to worn you that there is a big spring in there that contributes to the over-center function. Sometimes the big spring is a significant challenge.
