My Craftsman saw that was in suspended animation

I have my dad's 14" McCullough Eager Beaver. It's at least 25 years old. The cord, bar and chain are the only things replaced. It's been stored for years at a time, the gas has never been drained for storage and never fails to start. I used it this week and it hums through the appropriate sized wood. I expect you'll have your 'new' craftsman for a looong time.
