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

I just swapped a 3-year-old Toro 1128 OXE for an Ariens 1332LE (924128)...because I wanted/needed a larger machine.  Can anyone date this Ariens?  It appears to have very little usage (scraper blade is almost unmarked, chute has just a few marks).  The Toro is a great machine, but I really need the extra size. 

Well???  Did I just blow it????   Go ahead, I can take it...

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to get too crazy with the engine pulley. If you go too far, you'll reduce belt life and/or possibly cause the belt to jump. A different length belt may also be required.

There is a track drive kit that would slow the unit down (40%), but it's pricey and may also have some other attributes you're not looking for.

I'd forgotten that I could turn this machine into a DLET with the kit, which would be very nice speed
and traction-wise. I was originally looking at one but went for wheels because I have to clear an
elaborate wheelchair ramp which has hairpin turns in places.   Still the tracks may be the best
solution.  Thanks.
