Just had to get another saw? This is my first mutt to the pack, otherwise all Stihl.
Questions?
The fuel cap says 20 to 1
John Deere states 50 to 1 when using JD 2 cycle oil otherwise 32 to 1 with all others.
Like I mentioned above, the rest of my saws are Stihl which I run 50 to 1 Stihl 2 cycle oil in with no problems.
Do you think I'd be okay running it in this saw the same way? I find it hard to imagine that the JD 2 cycle oil is much different if not inferrior to the Stihl oil?
 
You will be fine running 50:1 with good oil.
If you are nervous, run it 32:1.
If you lose sleep over it run it at 24:1.
If it makes you sick run 20:1.

And if Gary reads this, he will get mad at you :)
