homelite timberman 45

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?

Something about the brake is not returning over center?

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.
