It's practically free of cost, gasoline/diesel/oil for gearbox is laying around in my shed, so no cost. just a tool chain is needed and also a nice chain that can be broken off easily (without hollow pins or replacement pins, maybe a reusable masterlink is best)
You don't want to be smoking as the gasoline evaporates..........................Couldn't do that on a 'NoZone' day, either.
