Leave it or bolt with it?
Which would you do?
Go back home and get some "fixings"
Carefully move the flowers.
Spray the bar with Extends Rust Converter.
Sharpen the chain and set the tension.
Drain the old fuel and top off with new mix and bar oil.
Carefully reposition as found on the hallowed ground. Perhaps leave a note but definitely a prayer

Trying them all
I'da left it just as it was. It was obviously left as something meaningful by a loved one of the deceased.

I'd leave it & maybe track down the family and see how I could bless them...perhaps the deceased was the sole breadwinner.
What would YOU do?

He'd ban everybody from the graveyard and go get a bag of donettos.

or better yet, perhaps he could be introduced to one of the Cartels down that way!
Exactly right.
If the guy under the dirt was a member, he would be really pissed that his saw was out in the dirt and rain.
and some oragami. vaya bien, primo.
I was thinking more along the line of "Go with God". Via Con Dios muchacho

True but, I was also thinking he would be pissed they left him to tackle firewood in the great after life with the tired Stihl instead of his newer Husqvarna...
well, the grave is at 7000 feet so he doesn't have far to go.
the unfortunate truth here is that its gotta be stihl or nothing. when i cut wood with friends, i'm looking at their 039's thinking, "meh." they're looking at my 385 and wondering if i'm wearing panties. it's cultural.

Yeah, I know. Just throwing a dig in there. I wish there was more info. I would like to know about this man. His story is worthy.
the grave has only been there for a few days and is still unmarked but because of the community that this man lived in i can tell you with some certainty, he was "un pobre," a poor man, who worked hard all his life and lived until he died. i can tell you that he is badly missed by a loving family who expect to see him again "en cielo," in heaven. that old stihl has probably been cutting ten cords of ponderosa pine a year for the last forty years to keep his family warm in the harsh cold weather at 7000 feet in the san naciamento mountains. the grave was almost certainly dug by his sons with a backhoe that one of them owns. hope this helps.
