What was wrong with the new Craftsman that made you sell it so quickly?  That Simplicity is a nice heavy duty machine.  I can't fault you for your choice.  You should write a review for it in the review section.  I don't think there is a Simplicity listed yet.

i had problems with the craftman the first time i used it. The auger shaft came completly disconnected from the auger housing

Oh man, if you were at operating RPM, that must have made a big mess of things.  Sorry to hear about that.

Not trying to be a jerk here but I would have liked to have seen that.....

Hey Chris,

I never knew you had a sadistic side BTW...I would have liked to see that too.  I never heard of that one happening before.

Me either.  It sounds like such a rare occurance, something you not going to have many chances at.....

Hey Chris,

I prolly shouldn't be asking this while on PJC's topic, but I just saw your review on your Honda snowblower.  How has it been holding up? Any issues besides shearpins? I remember from a year or two ago that you keep it outside and covered.  I was curious about carb issues if any, and have you had to service the hydro drive at all.  Yeah, those honda engines are amazing.  I have a Troy-bilt 2500 psi pressure washer with the 5 hp honda engine.  An amazing little engine, and you want to talk about how quiet it runs, it makes a briggs or tec engine sound like they are screaming.

It has held up well Rich, it does not like old fuel but what engine does.  It did suffer cosmetically under the tarp but it always started and ran flawlessly.  I have not had the machine serviced yet, the hydro works perfectly.  So far I could not imagine life without it and would pay more now for it than I did three years ago it's that good....
