Well, I finally found a blower for my 318. I have been looking for a 47 or 49 since last spring. There are a few around here but guys are asking 800-900 for a decent model 49. John Deere dealerships don't have any and don't know where any decent used ones are.
So, yesterday I heard from a friend of a friend that a guy has a model 47. He said it needs some TLC but is a good solid unit and was used all last winter on a 318. I drove 1/2 hour and checked it out.
It is very straight and no bends or kinks in anything. But, it will need a good sandblasting and paint (surface rust only). I will use it "as is" for this winter and tear into it next summer and hopefully make it look like new.
