Thanks Garandman, having trouble loading pics.The new B&S Snow Intek is quieter than the old Tec and considerly more powerful. The headlight is the $9.99 rubber coated item from AutoZone. My only mod at this point would be to put on bigger wheels and tires but I don't know what would fit. Being only 20" wide, its a nice little compact unit that throws between 40 and 50 feet. |

Garandman,She looks great...You've got the best of both worlds- old and new. Heavy duty old time steel and construction and a modern, powerful OHV engine. Now if you could just mount a rack to hold an M-1 Garand in case you see a deer or are attacked by Nazi's while blowing...you'll be all set. This winter you'll have to post some pictures of the blower in action. Dan

This past season I added a home made longer shoot and Ariens drift cutters. I also installed the rubber impeller kit. I was able to keep up with my neighbors newer 824. The head light is powered from the engine alt and I have it switched to the original on/off key switch. All controls for the engine are contained on the engine so my biggest control mod was relocating the shoot swivel with u-joints. |

I used the one Ariens U-Joint for 3/8" shaft to make the turn in the shoot crank rod.

looks neat, ill have to take a pic of my neighbors 6hp craftsman snowblower next to my simplicity 32" lol, it looks like it would eat it and not know it lol The Intek Snow engine is a nice engine, i dont have much experience with snowblowers but it seems to have tons of torque in heavy snow and wont stop, ive moved some big piles of snow with mine packed hard from the street plows
Simplicity Pacer 2005 34" 1534 Walk behind Mower, Simplicity 1280E 2005 12hp/32" and 1380E 2006 13hp/32" Snowblowers
