Snow Blower

[Raven]

I DON'T LIFT SNOW ANYMORE.....i JUST PUSH IT AROUND

AND THAT is the strategy

I am like totally Psyched because the Toro Snow Blower SALTY sold me
just started with ONE pull

and is out there idling right now....

i was dismayed because i had left some gas in the TANK
and was thinking Oh "F" carb rebuild , but the gas additive i used
worked like a charm... so now , i can work on other stuff instead.

Key is to use a gas additive , Sta bil etc., all year long, and in all small engines
ONLY use supreme gas.
Ethanol kills small engines.

When storing, run engine dry with a small amount of carbmaster then if
it's a metal tank fill to the top with a with the gas mix, prevents rust, with a plastic tank drain it completely.

Something like this, and take it to a shop to get the once over initial tune up.

John, have you done anything yet? You might, just might need it for Monday morning.... Just wondering.

Also, if you are cruising CL, you want to look through farm and garden section, as well as tools section.

I like the older models with the chain drive. I think you have to spend over $800 to get a new chain driven model now. Anything below that is belt driven. If anyone knows of a brand that makes a chain driven model for less please let me know. Thx

John buy a Toro paddle blower, these things kick other blowers arse. I have one for everyone of my plow crews. They are so light weight easy one guy in and out of the trucks. Easy pull start and cannot be stopped. In slush it takes it deep snow it takes it. People dont believe me when I say what these things are capable of doing, but me and my guys will take those paddle blowers over those big heavy metal blowers any day.

My snowblower/lawn repairman is recommending a higher than 87 octane also on all lawn and outdoor equipment. Apparently most of the companies have recommended the change due to the changes in gas lately. Something to do with the lack of lubricants (in the 87 test gas ) affecting the plastic and rubber parts in these engines.

I have a 9hp Craftsman with a 28" cutting path. it did just fine, till it ate an old grill grate I forgot to toss, 2 minutes and a new shear bolt and back in business.

i waited til it was dark to start....

the driveway is around one hundred feet long and i did four passes
and did the back yard too for the dog area....as the snow drifts made traveling for her very difficult

thankfully my neighbor had pushed the snow plow barrier
off to the side
with his plow which made the job that much easier...

my ski goggles kept fogging up....
