I'd keep it as long as possible, the old ones are way more rugged than the new
stuff although the newer stuff has better ergonomics. Even a repower is still
cheaper than a new one too.
I need to pull mine apart in the spring and figure out why the reverse doesn't
work good. Once I get mine figured out I'll do the same job for the neighbor.
He says he's going to take his for a $100 service, I told him I'd do the
service for that money. Drain his gas out, change the plug, shoot some grease
on the pivots and change the oil, easy money...

Anywhere north of the Mason Dixon, there is always justification in the
household budget for mechanized snow removal! I keep thinking I’m going to
trade in my ’69 Ariens for a new model, but it just keeps going. The only bad
part about it is fiddling with the chains. 24” with a Tecumseh engine.

Angie and I went to the store a little while ago. When I wrote the message

is fluffy powder. We've got around 8 inches and its still coming down good.
Volume is good for snowmobiling but it'd be better if it was a better kind of
snow. I'm not going to complain though, any snow is better than none...
-CurtFixin to make another pirate run, down the street 50', take a right, down
that street 200 yards take a left, 50 yards and then a high speed run down a
long driveway to a furniture factory, behind the factory is an old railroad bed
and access to trails theoretically to Canada...
