Might have myself a snowblower, keep your fingers crossed!!

So Sunday I picked up an MTD yard machines snowblower. That sucker was freaking heavy to get into my truck, took me 4 tries to pull it up and in even with the ramps I had! Took it straight to my brothers to have him look it over and he said it was a sweet find, it might just be a blown head gasket or a drive issue. I tried looking it up with the model number and its from 1995 from what I could find but it looks like brand new so heck ya I will put some $$ into it because from what I can see by the newer models in comparrison these things start at $500.00!!! My dad said its almost as big as the one he has at their other house and he paid $800.00 bucks for it used years ago. If my brother gets this thing running for me this will be my sweetest ''save'' yet!! Heeee!!!!

Yeah and ill have to walk 9 miles in it tomorrow to deliver the mail. Wish me luck.

i found a little 18in mtd snowblower last trashnight and all i had to do was wire a kill switch it has a nice 5hp two stroke in it

***Update***

My brothers checked it out today and there was not a thing wrong with the snow blower other than it needs new skids on the bottom. Unfreaking crazy unbelievable someone threw this thing away - they both said its about an $800.00 machine. *Faints*

Now, I'm not advocating for snow to come but when it does I'm going to be snow blowing everywhere!!!! My drive, the neighbors drive, anyone that gave me scrap this year is going to get their driveways snow blown!!

*Grabs Snoopy and does happy dance, happy dancing all over the house!!*

KZ, If I lived close I'd snow blow your driveway too!!

Now I'm not going to know what to do, snow blow or air chisel, snow blow or air chisel.

Just don't air chisel the snow blower! Your about 170 miles from me tude, but your more than welcome to do my driveway if ya want.

GRatz new. Can you find me one now?

cost me $71.00 in parts to fix up and get running. not bad! Now its home and awating use!

I was only going to have to buy the new skids until the tall brother with 8 foot long arms pulled it to start again and snapped the rewind, had to go buy a new one he snapped the spring inside.

MrDew, that's what hubby said, go around and charge a few buck for peeps driveways!

Do yourself a favor and buy some spare sheer pins. Untill you get used to using im sure you will break a couple.

I used it today!! I did my drive and a neighbors drive and the sidewalks!!! it works good!!!! woot!!!!!!!!!!
