Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I have been studing this site for a number of hours, and don't see to much info on the 926LE.  I have choose the 926LE over the 7524E with the OHV as I live in Nova Scotia and we get alot of snow , with a driveway of over 200" thought the 7524 was too small, would take me for ever..  So here I am waiting for my 926LE to be delivered any day and I am second quessing myself.   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

You ask about OHC in the title but  OHV in the body.

OHC = Overhead Cam. Only one I know of is by Robin Subaru. Both Tecumseh and B&S make OHV engines. Because of new emissions standards, the L heads are being replaced by OHV motors but they power 95% of all 2 stage units on the planet.

sorry i met to type ohv not ohc...not much of a typer...    Thanks for the help... So here is the question.. do you think I should get the 7524E or the 926E... I can't afford the 11 or the DLE line.... I am in Nova Scotia...we get quite a bit of snow and I have a long driveway all with a downward slope from the house 300 ft. 

A 300' driveway is awfully large.  I would suggest that you would benefit from a larger blower.  Any chance of getting into a 28" or larger blower?

I would steer clear of the compact models just to save some time...

Snowbunny,

Stick with your Ariens 926 LE!! It will do the job!!!!!!

 2 inchs wider is not going to save you a lot of time.

Also a much bigger machine is much harder to handle and takes up more storage space!!

Don't the OHV engines also have a cast iron cylinder sleeve ?
