God I love my grandfather. He really just have known his time was short without saying nothing.
anyway. At his estate auction I managed to buy back all his chain saws. Then going thru the buildings later, I found several ammo cans full of chain saw chains. My grandfather would save the chains, then sharpen all at once., he’d then put them in a ziplock bag with the date on them. All were sharpened a week before he passed. Anyway, I have 23 freshly sharpened chains for the smaller saw, 18 for the big saw, and then 6 dull chains for the small saw, 3 full chains for the big saw, plus 4 brand new in box chains for the big saw.
bottom line, I’m set on chains for a very long time.
