Simplicity dealers in the Guelph, KW, Cambridge, Ontario area?

Hello everyone. What a great site this is. Certainly full of great information and helpful people. I tried using the dealer locator on Simplicity's web site and it does not list Canada in the country drop down list. I've never seen Simplicity snow blowers in Ontario and I am wondering, are there any dealers in this neck of the woods? I haven't heard back from Simplicity themselves yet.

I have nothing but admiration for my 1428 Simplicity. The last snow fall of the season was a real test. The machine never stumbled once. I ended up doing three 110' drive ways with at least two feet of heavy wet snow in them. I was pretty much beat but the Simplicity needed only more fuel and some one to stand behind it.
I've made some mods to my machine. Most importantly, I lined the chute with a piece of Krazy Karpet. I've got the Classic Deluxe snow cab on it and even put an hour meter/tach on as well. Make sure you pull the wheels and apply some good water resistant grease on the axles. You may also have to put some kind of cover/filler between the belt cover and engine crank case. Light snow can drop in between and cause the belt to possibly slip. Mine has not been too bad that way. A lot of snow has to falling onto the engine before that happens.
Good luck with your new machine. Thanks borat, I know that the machine will give me many, many years of great service. Really appreciate your advice and others on proper maintenance. I do use a lot of those pointers already on my soon to be (almost) given away pos MTD. Even though I am not a big fan of winter anymore I really look forward to using a great piece of equipment that the 1428 is. I will let you and everyone know how the electric chute rotation works as well. I just may try the Krazy Karpet chute liner and I really like the idea of an hour meter/tach. Cheers!
