How do you know if a snowblower uses plastic bushings or brass bushings etc?I looked at the parts diagram and it just says bushing.
If the snowblower was made in the last year or two chances are they're plastic.
Also what makes a snowblower better as far as the internals of the machine?
Age.
A ten year old machine will be more solid than a one year old machine.
This does not mean that it will throw snow further, though.
