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

I asked the powers that be about listing something for sale on this board and they said go for it so I am wondering if anyone would like a brand new, unopened box of drift cutters for an Ariens.  I used drift cutters on a machine and really liked them.  When I had the Ariens 1130DLE it did not come with drift cutters and they were optional so I ordered these.  They were a special order at the place that I bought them so even though the Ariens machine went back I still honored my deal with the dealer and bought them. 

Here are two links that show what I have for sale, again the box is unopened.  First $25 gets them and I will pay the shipping.  I'll loose a couple of bucks and you will get drift cutters that I know that you will like.  Besides these are a pretty and will go better with your snow thrower than the new purse that your wife just bought that goes with those heels.

Note:  I'm not a retailer, and I don't sell parts for a living, I am just a snow thrower crazy that has something extra that I thought someone here could use and I don't have to pay an Ebay listing fee.  If they don't sell in a while I will list them later on Ebay.  I prefer PayPal and can point you to my Ebay account with 100% positive feedback and over 200 transactions, most of it I bought I wasn't selling stuff there either. 

Next Note is to make sure that this model fits your Ariens.  I know that these fit the 921006 or 1130 DLE, I also think that the compact snow throwers use a DIFFERENT set of drift cutters.  Check your owner's manual for the recomended part number for what Ariens refers to as "Slicer Bar Kit"  Again, these are model number 72406900

I'm interested but I don't know if they will fit on my 10000 series snow blower. Any Ariens experts out there know whether these are backwards compatible?

I'm not sure either Baxter.  I can call Ariens tomorrow and ask them what model of drift cutter they would recomend for a model 10000.

Beans I did some leg work today.  On hold with Ariens for 15 minutes today before they decided to pick up the phone in their so called "customer service" department phone.  The slicer bar kit that I am selling is for the following model numbers:  for model numbers: 921005, 921006 and 926027

The kit that you need Bean is 73203100 according to the customer service rep at Ariens.  Please call them to verify or verify with your local Ariens dealer before you just order that number.  Strange things happen with part numbers some time.  Even though you aren't getting the kit that I have for sale, you will like having them.  They cut a nice edge and you don't have to go get a shovel to clear out around you mail box.  Maybe it is just me, but I like the professional image that a clean edge gives me.  Sounds weird, I know, but I am the same guy that has to edge the sidewalk in the summer.  It's just a finished look that I like.

Anyone else that has the right  model numbers, the slicer bar kit is still available: 

I found the model numbers listed at this web site:  http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=100646407&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&PID=2242577&cm_mmc=CJ-_-1954303-_-2242577-_-Deluxe%20Drift%20Cutters&URL=http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/BuildLinkToHomeDepot?linktype=product&id=100646407&cj=true&AID=10368321&cj=true

Clay, thanks for the top-notch investigative work. I appreciate it and I'm sorry it didn't work out.

I know what you mean about the clean edge. I hate it when I catch a bump and dig in to the side of the beautiful cut I've been working on all winter. Good thing it eventually melts away. :)

One last bump on this thread.  End of the week, they go on Ebay.  I didn't post them there to begin with and gave them three weeks here.  Hopefully haven't been too obnoxious on the bumps.  If you need a set, these are brand new.

Hi Rick,
I know this is an old thread,  but If you still have the drift cutters...I'll buy them off of you. I have a 1998 (Anniversary Edition) 1130 DLE Ariens, which is the 921006.
Let me know.
Thanks
Ray
