Picked up this & a Craftsman line trimmer for ZILCH last Sunday:
Looks to be an early 1960's Snow Bird model 224, 4hp, 2 stage machine. All it needed to get it running was a new ignition condensor, but it burns a bit of oil (she's got the BLUES after 35+ years of service). The previous owner put idler pulleys on it to replace the skid shoes at the front. Wish we had some darned snow so I could check this thing out!
The trimmer had loose head bolts keeping it from running - tightened them up, restrung the line spool, and VOILA - it runs very nicely!
Two more unwanted OPE saved from the scrap heap...
