Last 4th of July we at our place in Soo, MI. We were driving into town for the fireworks display. I passed a snowblower sitting in front of a house with a sign on it. I told the wife that I thought the sign said
"FREE"! So I braked (little to hard says she) to pull in a driveway to turn around and look. Pulled in the drive, got out went a read the sign. Yup, free. Wife got out helped me load it. It rode around in the back of my truck for a bout a week. Had no idea if this thing worked or not so when we got back to SW OH and unloaded it. I set the coke, primed it and pulled on the rope and she fired right up. Talk about a surprize! I ran it through the 5 foward and 2 reverce gears and every thing worked as it was supose to. This year I've used it 3 times and all I've done to it was put gas and oil it. It is an MTD 5hp 22" 2 stage. Did'nt even put the plow on the tractor.
