HOMELITE SUPER XL AUTOMATIC CHAINSAW BLUE MANUAL
The XL-15 seems to be an early XL-12 (55cc and manual oiler) sold through hardware stores. Some XL-Automatic saws were red/white/green. A Super XL Automatic (or SXL-AO) will be 58cc with both manual and auto oilers.

They were built with auto oilers only (with a screw in plug in place of the manual oiler pump), but dealers could install the manual oiler pump before selling the saw. A Super XL-12 is 58cc with manual oiler only. Homelite played with the colors quite a bit over the decades. Older than many blue/white XL-12/XLA/Super XL-12 saws, including three of mine. So the big question is: What's better the Blue or what looks to me to be the Orange one? I own a smaller McCulloch that still runs but the chain cover decided to split into 2 pieces and it is too dinky anyhow. But that's another story and will be eventually be posting on my McCulloch Titan experience. I also bought a 20" 50cc McCulloch Titan for $20 which I am starting to hate with a passion but I am big buddies with the guy that has the lawn mower repair shop across the street from where I live so I am able to aggravate him with it. Of course I knew this before from previous cutting but it seems to me wet wood is now heavier than it used to be. Since real estate is kind of slow right now to say the least, I am now going into the Pine firewood business which I can tell you after cutting a cord from stuff left over from the last power company pruning job is dang hard work. Usually when I take out big trees I give them away. I have been chainsawing off and on for over 30 years but this will be my biggest project. How you people can do this is flat out amazing to me. He actually agreed with me so they are going to cut the trees into 8' to 16' sections which is great because now I will not have to look for climbing gear and learn to climb at age 56. One thing I can't tolerate is a half cut tree or a toothpick tree. I told the forester if they cut one branch off a tree to cut the entire tree down. It was then I realized my friend's 42cc Poulan which I fixed into a zippy little saw would be dead before all the cutting was done. I stood back and looked at these 2 trees and guestimated they must be over 100' tall which gave me a minor heart attack. I got mine because it has a 24" bar which might be a little too much bar but the local power company has decided they need to remove 2 big trees from a lot I own.
HOMELITE SUPER XL AUTOMATIC CHAINSAW BLUE PLUS
Wanted a Stihl but when I saw the prices for a new Stihl I figured after paying that much plus 8% tax I would have a heart attack. I could have got the orange one (which everyone here is calling the red) but the guy I got it from had the blue one running so I got the blue/white with 24" bar and good chain for $55 here in Sacramento.
