RJMcEachern 18 #1 Posted January 12, 2014 check this bad boy out... in the driveway with it... the inside gears and chain still have factory red paint on them... even the plastic cover looks good...(sorry for crappy pic) tag your it! So what's your thoughts on this purchase? I feel as though I literally stole it... RJMcEachern 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 761 #6 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Good Haul ............ It won't peel vegetables though! Edit- PS, Belated to RS Edited January 12, 2014 by Anglo Traction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #7 Posted January 12, 2014 Looks to have all the right parts too. The extension "wings" appear to be on backwards, but otherwise it's spiffy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJMcEachern 18 #8 Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks for the kinds words folks! I am literally pumped with excitement for adding this to my stable of tools. How confident are you that they are on backwards, I literally have no idea, but I did go back and look at the pic and I noticed it is sitting higher on the top edge and to me doesn't look like it should, it looks like it should ride evenly at the top ...

TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #9 Posted January 12, 2014 The shortest part of the wing should be at the front (yours are) and parallel with the direction of travel. It might just be an optical illusion in your picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJMcEachern 18 #10 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Hmmmm, OK. Thanks, but I guess I am having a !!! I don't understand what your saying RJMcEachern So are you saying they are on correctly???? Edited January 12, 2014 by RJMcEachern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hole location top - to - bottom is the same so that the bottom of the wing is even with the bottom of the main housing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mbarb54 8 #19 Posted January 12, 2014 It''s a great find and I know how you feel. I have the exact same blower and found it within 50 miles of where I live. I recommend adding the lift spring which will help raising and lowering it. I got mine about 2 or 3 years ago and just added a cab this year. Now its snow blowing nirvana.

WH nut 553 #21 Posted January 12, 2014 Good Haul ............ It won't peel vegetables though! Edit- PS, Belated to RS But it will do a number on apples. I use my blower to clean up the apples in the fall of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
