FYI - I have been using a PO box in Champlain NY for a while to get my stuff from the US, cost about $60/year. Started using a freight service also located in Champlain, http://www.freeportforwarding.com/ No need to register for any shipment via any of the regular carriers, except USPS. Cost is $3 per package for anything under 30# and they keep it for up to 30 days no extra charge. I imagine that there exists similar facilities near every major border crossing point. Cheers

Drifer..... let me know if you need a neighbor from the south to help ship you something from our side of the border... That sir, is VERY kind of you, and truly appreciated. What a great community this is. I doubt I would ever allow myself to inconvenience anyone, just to save a few bucks, but just the fact that you offered, speaks volumes. Thank you VERY much. That said, may I extend the same offer to those who need anything from Canada. Yamaha owners for example, who might have trouble getting parts in the U.S.A., might have an easier time up here, since Yamaha has started distributing again. There's a dealer not more than a half-hour from here.

While I'm not in need of parts I would be most interested in your opinion of the new Yamaha snowblowers should you happen to visit the showroom.

In short, I think the Yamaha YS928J is an incredibly well designed unit. I came within a hairs' breadth of buying a brand new one, just a few weeks ago. It's a well-mannered lil' bulldozer. Had I not found such a great deal on a 2 year old HS1132TC, I would definitely have bought the Yamaha. Everything you touch, gives you the impression of superior quality and very lonnnnnnnng term durability. With its' insulated motor-shroud, it's very quiet, so you can run it without fear of disturbing the neighbours. There are no shear-pins to deal with, (Shock-Protector auger system) The chute and impeller-housing are teflon-lined, the electric joystick chute motor and control looks like it's designed to last forever, and it's very responsive. Even a small detail such as the chute-deflector cable, is VERY beefy. There are also nice touches insofar as the motor servicing is concerned. Oil-drain extension-tube is one example. I believe there's a fuel-drain as well, but I don't recall the specific details of that feature. It also has a 12v starter and battery. Another small detail; around the outside edge of the fuel-tank, there is a spill-catching device, which has a drain on one side, to divert fuel away from the motor cabinet. There's not much that these Yamaha designers haven't thought of. Would I buy one? You're darned tootin' I would,,,, in a heartbeat. It's a superb machine. Edit; I forgot to mention that a drift-cutter is standard equipment. http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/products/images/generators/2011_SB_YS928J_l.jpg
