When it's bent/warped - or the chain groove allows excess wobble in the chain. If you have to ask... it's probably time to replace it.

When the channel gets sloppy, worn, or mushroomed from the chain sliding across it (can be repaired if that's the only problem), if the roller tip wears out, if it has been overheated, or if it is warped or bent/misshapen.

Please How does one replace the manual oiler on this saw? The saw keeps leaking bar oil. The check valve is not working or is missing completely.The oiler is deep in the tank. Thank You

Lawn Boy YT 14h Won't crank Help!!!

I have a Lawn Boy YT 14H yard tractor (model number 32163). It will not crank. Replaced the battery, but no go. The Ammeter on the "dash" jumps to negative 15 amps when the ignition switch is turned to start. Tried disconnecting the rider safety switch, checked the inline fuse, even tried jump starting. None worked. It doesn't even try to turn over. Could it be a bad starter? I tried to get troubleshooting info from the Lawn Boy website, but they only make zero turn riders now, so there is no info for an older tractor. Also, the lights do not come on. I don't know if that helps diagnose the problem.
