    Stihl ms 170 vs ms 171

    I have very little need for a chainsaw,but i'd rather have and not need.....I'm getting 1 or the other.Leaning towards the 171.Reason: placement of tension screw.As small a saw as i'll need,it shouldn't matter,but in a pinch,if i needed to adjust the chain tension,it'd be quicker and easier from...

    Mine is 21-22 years old.I personally got it 6 years ago.Kept it up(carb rebuilds,blades,filters,1 belt,pulley).It was my 1st mower and it did the job well.So it's hard to NOT want to get the tranny fixed BEFORE i invest on a new one.Just wondering if anyone has fixed a tranny on 1,and is it...

    best weed eater for me?

    If I may....before I got my Stihl fs 70,i was using a Black & Decker "brush hog".It's electric,but it worked out.If I had a smaller yard/garden,i'd say it was perfect,but I don't.The Worx GT may also be a viable solution as doues a battery unit.Hope all goes well.

    craftsman 917.377131 height adjustment

    I'm getting it wrong I guess.If I lets say,on the right front wheel push the heigt adjusment lever to my right,going away from the mower,it lowers the deck,resulting in a higher cut? Naturally doing the same on the other side and opposite direction for the back?
