My first saw, in 1984, was a used yellow John Deere (Echo), model unknown, with a 16" bar. It was really a scrappy little cutter, but it would never oil right, and I had a hard time keeping it running. Used it to scrounge firewood one winter. My neighbor used it to cut roots out of postholes for his fence.........I'm glad he got some use out of it........it was never the same after that. duh. The death knell came when I was out of bar oil and used 90W gear oil, which promptly melted the oil line. When I found out that the repair nvolved splitting teh case, I junked it. Fun memories of getting firewood from out in the country, but not fun being unable to use this saw half the time because it was an unreliable piece of, uh, "equipment."
My first Stihl was an 026, followed by an 009. I stihl have both, they run perfectly.:greenchainsaw:
