Reply to comment by Ottomachinen in can't be a $60 chainsaw. spent $ 150 on maintenance and the thing works like a dream by mimic751

I couldn't believe it. He sold it to me, I went and got a new spark plug, chain and Bar and it fired right up. Once the snow goes away I'm going to put another couple hours into it and I think I'll have a lifelong tree cutting partner

A plug, bar, and chain was $150? Seems expensive. I bought two bars and three chains for my mcculloch for $45.

TBH you can buy whatever bars and chains you want so long as the size is correct for your model. I use laser laminated bars and their aggressive chains because I don't want to be out there all day when I'm just going to burn the wood in a year. I didn't even know premix gas was a thing. I just buy ethanol free gas and add oil to it. Stihl kinda got me on my string trimmer where if I bought a 6 pack of their preferred oil they extended the warranty by 3 years for the $15 it cost.
