Homelite mobile home?

[Homelite1976]

Hello,

I am in the process of trying to buy a mobile home, but the seller threw out the HUD tag. Without it, I can't get financed. The appraiser wrote that it was a "Homelite" mobile home, and the county clerk has that it was built in 1977. However, when trying to use IBTS to issue a certifcation in lieu of the HUD tag, they searched the serial number under "Skyline/Homette" and said that that indicated that it was built in 1976 -i.e. -in un-financable time. I am wanting to make a case that they are searching in the wrong manufacturer, but there is next to no information online about "Homelite" as a manufacturer. Does anyone have any information about their existance?

Thank you!
