just curious if anyone has put the optional ariens weight kit on there snowblower ? i noticed that when cleaning the eod that the machine wants to lift and i find myself lifting on the handlebars to keeps it down. just wondering if the $50 plus dollars for there kit will make a difference. i know i could put my own weight on there but i like to use factory stock looking things. im a little looney

Hi Kneebiter!

If I was not in the middle of my move to PA, I would take the time to put a package together and ship the weight kit out to you at 1/2 price.  BTW, the kit comes with bolts that are long enough to stack more weights! If you are in NE PA or in Northern NJ maybe you can pick it up or if I pass you way in route to Honesdale PA I would stop by. When you are selling 2 NJ houses, buying 2 PA homes, renovating 2 homes  and moving the contents of 2 homes you get pretty burn't out.

I visit this forum for relaxation.

thanks for the offer. i am just outside of boston so picking it up is out. i was going to order it today but got busy at work. if you find time and decide to remove it and want to ship it to me ill take it. thanks again

"I" would be getting them due to my drive one and two, many's the big storm I would battle with the Ariens 924 and my wrists, shoulders and lower back would start to ache the time of the storm and if I got another storm the next day.  I did not know you can add more or less weight, this seems like a good option as it would allow you to customize it so to speak for what works best for you....
