“I can change the oil & the filter.

I can change headlight bulbs & adjust them.

I can change a tire—altho strength is waning

I can paint—inside or outside.

I can change spark plugs-—in car/truck/lawn mower

I can use 26” blade chain saw & clean it every night for use next day.

STILL FEMALE NOW 83”

Ranch lifestyle... :)

Dang! I have an 18" and that's big enough for me!

My predecessor, who sold me this farm, was 84 years old and maybe 120 pounds wringing wet. He had a 20" Stihl Farm Boss that he handled like a toothpick.

I could use it, but always felt like it was on the edge of getting away from me. So I sold it to my tree guy and bought the 18". Anything too big for that to cut is being lateraled to my tree guy anyway.

Query: what is your cleaning routine for your chainsaw? I take off the sprocket cover, brush everything down, make sure the lube is full. Something else I should be doing? Thanks!
