Howdy from Canada

Old retired farm equipment mechanic here. I never had much to do with small engines, but, retired, heating with wood now, that's changing.
I'm not brand specific, I have Husqvarna, Stihl. McCullogh, and even a big Farmertec 660 I use on the chainsaw mill.

Canada? What the hell are you doing in that nuthouse?

You east or west?

Honest, many of us are trying to de-nut it. If we could only get to him...

Come to think of it, a chainsaw would work fine.

Welcome to the forum. I am on the Wet Coast. I also have multiple brands of saws. What Mac do you have?

A pair of little 110's. I got the 2nd one for parts to keep the first one going, but then I got them both going. They are nice for pruning the wild apple trees. Not much other use for them at present. When I was first married, one of them was the only saw I had, and cut all our firewood for a few years. 14" bar, so larger trees were a challenge!

I had one of those, and it was so cantankerous, and so difficult to work on, that it accidentally got placed under the bucket of my excavator. I was going to drive over it, but I wanted to watch it die. I have a bunch of older Macs, some like the 10-10, 250, that I use for my amusement. I also have some Huskys 480, 2100, and some Stihl saws, 041, 051, 056 Magnum, and 070.

Yes, they are decidedly a mid winter project to work on. When you have absolutely not one other thing you could be doing!
