Sometimes you can find decent used snow blowers at yard sales and such, Dave. If it works they should have no problem starting it and engaging the augers to show you it works. Good luck! Listen to this^^^ Or an auction Or the newspaper

Coonman220 ought not to quit his day job. The way things are going , he will need to get a 2nd full time job. Officials said that the Old-Age and Survivors trust fund is now able to pay scheduled benefits until 2033, one year earlier than reported last year. That's right!! Social Security will not be able to pay out the full amount owed each Month after year 2033. Working 2 full time jobs , 16 hours a day , 7 days a week. Coonman220 will have plenty of money to buy a top of the line BRAND NEW SNOWBLOWER !!

Ya then what do old snowthrower an used one junk out ? Yes, junk your old snowblower out. You should avoid having emotional attachment to machines. You don't owe your snow blower, your air conditioner and your trucks anything. You should do a cost benefits analysis when deciding whether to fix or junk a machine. My girlfriend's dad, when I was in college, was emotionally attached to a piece of crap, rusted out, green van. The passenger side door fell off it while he was driving once. The sliding door was held closed with a string. One of the bench seats was broken off and replaced by lawn chairs that were strapped to the floor. He replaced the transmission twice. He replaced the engine once. He spent thousands of dollars and dozens of hours trying to keep it running. He could have bought several, much nicer vehicles, for what he wasted on it. Keith

Probly have blow $200 on part plus order 2 belts in case needed , otherwise it close to be fairly new condition, I research an common problem junk augar gear box, not go order part yet as lots other things rather have money for like truck , should got part a year ago, keep look around a little for where find used parts , snowblower lawnmower repair shop have junk out stuff lay around ? None of 2 local ones do an quoted price if $300 plus part at one an other say $90 plus part , I keep look around a lil while , go cheaper shop an be much bigger bill than quoted, I install myself, don't look that hard if careful, must hit hard chunk ice, I would think bearings on sides augur or ends ok , have grease them when put in
