Repairing for the public.

Quick question fellas. I’m thinking about part time wrenching for a power equipment company here in Nashville. The shop manager asked what I was thinking for pay and I really have no idea. I almost went to work for one in Knoxville and it was flat rate 35 per billable shop hour. This guy talked...

Prayers for you and your family.

According to google maps 2/3 of your country stays stays snowed over even in summer…? 🧐. Nope! Too risky but thanks for the invite. 😂

Got the old polesaw running to tidy up a fence row today.

Had some scavengers come through Madisonville, KY last night.

Does this saw have an OEM or aftermarket top end?

Yes it is.
