A collective thanks to you guys for filling in the blanks here! Turned something I thought was going to be complicated into something nice and simple, which is what we are looking for. I'm taking a minimalist approach and just want to be able to offer "something that works" as opposed to a selection of different items.
Bars and Chain: Figure I only have to add a handful of loops to what I already have, and I'll need more 72DL and 84DL in .050 cause most of what we sell is .058. Add a few Oregon bars and we're good to go there.
Husky T35 head can cover the straight shafts. I really like that head, and we of course have the parts for them. We do buy from both Rotary and Stens, so we can special order different heads if needed. Spark plugs and oil are already covered with what we have. And I'll add some of the filters and caps that you guys have suggested.
So, as far as over-the-counter consumables go it'll be pretty easy to cover the basics. I don't even need to think about repair parts, cause we aren't going to be working on this stuff ourselves. If folks need more than those basics, or they need something worked on, they'll have to drive the 1/2 hour or whatever to the other Stihl dealers in the area. But we should be able to keep a lot of the locals up and running with what we've been talking about here.
