    MS 250 bar oil consumption

    Hold your saw with the tip of the bar close to a hard surface , and open it up full throttle . If you see a strip of oil on that surface , you are good to go . Back in the day , the oilers were adjustable !

    Zero Turn, down to two. Would appreciate the help (Cub vs JD)

    That would be an absolute "no brainer" for me . You couldn't even give me a Cub Cadet , for free. Now that being said , I have used John Deere ZTurns and Tractors for many years . Not so sure that will be the case in the future . Here in Vermont , every John Deere dealership is owned by one...

    Disassembling simplicity deck

    WD-40 is for drying things out , like ignition systems and such . It has zero lubrication qualities , and zero penetration qualities . The WD in WD-40 stands for water displacing , the 40 is the 40th formulation they tried , worked . Clean your decks properly , and they won't rust out !

    Low Engine oil FR730V

    I run Synthetic oil in every engine I own . I started running it in a 10 HP B&S that I was powering a Vacuum Pump with , in my Maple Sugarbush .
