when i was 14 i went and stayed with my uncle for a summer. he had hall contract cutters. out of a small town in oregon. i was the sharpening machine 5 saws every day. but there was one perk. i had to go get all the supplies. i got to drive a 4 door power wagon. what a beast. yea i need a pillow to drive it. the good old days. i'm 67 now.

Tip for plastic welding, you can use zip ties as welding rods if you need to add plastic if there’s a missing piece and they’re available in almost any color to be able to match your work piece. Hope this helps somebody.

My first saw was a 16" Homelite Super2. It cost me $129 in 1980. I cut a big old oak tree down. It twisted. I put down the saw and ran. It landed on the saw, smashing it. The Local True Value Hdwe store was the Repair center so I gave it over and told the Tech to repair it. The cost was $115. I had given full permission without ever getting an estimate. The case was that much and he swapped it out for free, not having the heart to charge me for labor. From that moment on I became a small engine repairman as wee as a vehicle Mechanic 10 years earlier. Today I learn things from your channel every time I see it! That's why I subscribed and became a Member!

I seriously don't know why this channel doesn't have a Million subs. Freakin excellent again

Could not stop laughing when you said oil was leaking out of every orfice. This happened to me before I dummied up and put the correct amount of lube in my four stroke

I’m over 60 years old. When I grow up, I want to know as much as you do…thank you, N

As the local neighborhood, small engine repair guy, I Always pickup good valuable information from you. Thank you for your videos.

Because of your video I bought one for the Marina that I operate. It has been amazing at fixing my plastic power boxes at each slip. And the lids. A new lid is $60. Being able to repair these items paid for it self with the first lid I used it on. Thank you so much. Clarksville Sunlife Marinas, Clarksville, TN.

I hope the tree worker knows more than he's telling her...those chain issues can be pretty dangerous. I think she said she's been servicing his saws for years, so he must have a keen feeling for when it's time to set them aside. And he must have a lot of saws. 😂

You are brilliant! A real beauty too. Tell your husband he's a lucky man and that a 74 year old man said that! I've learned so many useful things about hi lo tuning, sharpening chain saws, bad fuel issues, John Deere deck maintenance,...so much more. You are truly a great resource on this planet for those of us who struggle with these machines. I don't know how you learned all this but I bet I speak for a bunch of folks who are glad for your willingness to share your insights. Keep up the great, meaningful work that you do.

WOW that's awesome I didn't know they had a plastic welder. Thank you for making this video!

That echo saw was run over. I ran over my dad's echo leaf blower. If echo builds tools you can run over AND it still runs..... I'm sold! Forever echo fan

Hello Chickanic, Another little tid bit of info, if you happen to own a Weller pistol solder gun, you can use it for plastic welding by taking a short piece of #12 copper bare house wire and make a tip of whatever shape you may need and do your welding with that.

I've been using paper clips or some thin gauge steel wire and bend it to the shape and length needed and melt with a soldering iron.seems to work pretty good for a jury rigged set up for plastic repairs.

You don't see many mechanics with this kind of ethics. It's great that you thought of his pocket before yours

My better half wants to give you a huge thanks for the tip about caster oil Doctors didn’t help with steroids at all but this is helping with her skin issues 🙏

For years, I used an old soldering gun and zip strips. It worked, but it wasn't super secure. I found one of these a few years ago, and ... I whip this thing out every chance I get. I grin like a little kid every time I get to use it. My girlfriend just rolls her eyes every time I whip it out in the shop 🤠 It is SO much fun and it works GREAT!

You are the most intelligent and most beautiful mechanic in the whole wide world.. ❤😂
