That's a shame. I have a snowblower that runs just fine, just needs a set of shear pins & a leaking gas tank repaired/replaced. Only leaks when it sets with fuel in the tank. If I hadn't told my buddy he could have it, it'd be yours.I definitely prefer snow in most cases. It’s not having a running snowblower that’s the issue. I also lost my plow guy. He was the only one I know about.
