Yardwork Equipment

One of the cool things about modern day life is that there is always someone out there that has made a video about how to do any task around the house. One of the most useful to me was about weed eater string replacement.

I also have a Ryobi chainsaw. The next video was very helpful, especially the tip about using just a little oil because it leaks! Definitely saw that for myself. The warning about not having any sagging on the chain at the bottom is one I could have used before I recently got my chain off the bar while cutting a fallen branch!

I searched for “replace ryobi chainsaw chain” on YouTube. This video looks like what I’ll need to fix my chain. I don’t have time for that one this weekend – I certainly want to take my time with this fix, ensure everything is right before powering that chainsaw again.

My first Ryobi machine was actually the 20″ Ryobi 40V brushless push mower (I got all this Ryobi equipment from Home Depot, partially for the battery reusability across tools). After moving from a smaller city lot, I decided that mowing over an acre might need something a bit speedier so I bought a used 7-speed Troy-Bilt Pony riding lawn mower. Used a YouTube video to get the gist of how to run it: I think it was this one.

Confession time: I needed to look up the proper way to use and store this fuel container :-O. Better be safe than blow up in my pride. Typed “midwest can” into the YouTube search and the first suggestion is “midwest can gas can instructions“. Apparently there are models and all sorts of fancy features? Anyway, here’s what the company has to say:
