pat,
i got my poulan wild thing at walmart. its got an 18" bar. i run mine on premium gas,and synthetic 2 stroke mix. its been a real good saw. over the past 5 years i haven't had to do to much it. normal stuff like a spark plug,chain bar, chains, i have like 5 chains for it tho. i just take the chains and have them sharpened up at sandy chainsaw, its a stihl dealer. they do a good job.

I just need to find a small one, since we don't burn wood anymore. Just something to take care of the trees and branches.

Hey George, it's going to be a beautiful day here, temps in the upper 70's. Of course I'll be stuck inside all damn day! May have to sneak out for a while to enjoy the weather this afternoon. What's going on with you today?
