I do have ~issues~. Especially with any motor equipment.....I'll go to far as replace exterior moulding on my cars cause the sun has aged it and while trim products make them look good....it's just not as good as fresh. I think I may just spring for the augers but It's more like $200 extra when you factor in the shipping.
Grrrrr.....in the pitch of night and with the flashlight making sure the augers spun, and bearing that it looked so mint and rust free (just short of the marks on the bucket), I thought I made out pretty well - considering others in my area were asking $450 with questionable body conditions.. I know what you're saying. Replacing that moulding would not work for me. New molding would stand out looking so good, that the rest of the car looks crappy. $200 dollars later on car detailing and I'm still not satisfied. I'd go out and buy a whole new car, moulding and all.  . Until the wife says, "NO, YOU'RE NOT. IF you have been putting up with my imperfections the last several years, you can hold out on a new car just as long". Hehehe, my wife didn't actually say that. I'm just dramatizing. Get the new auger and put everything else behind you. You got lucky finding that 621 in such a nice condition. I wouldn't go through the trouble of finding another unit to swap parts with, unless you have time and patience.

Now can someone please help me explain Why-TF I have 3 snowblowers in my possession....
You are suffering from SAS Snowblower Acquisition Syndrome It comes in three's. That's just the way it is. Don't sell off anything or you'll start the cycle all over again.

Preface: I've have has a HS520. Due to space contraints, etc - I'm not looking at 2 stage. Single stage for the most part is a perfect fit just short of....living on the right side and the plows only plow to the right so I cam constantly getting plowed in... Throw is fine already on the HS520. I was only curios does the 421/221 or even any current models on the market may have a bit more bite on the EOD/overnight plowed snow... This is your original posting. Kind of funny looking at it now...LOL.

The only buyers remorse I have is TCO of the 621.... Reminds me like the last time I had custom headlights being made....at the end of the day, I spent (let's just say it cost more than a HS1132).... The winner is still the HS520AS. $375 + $40 in tolls and gas The 621, at $300, a short trip but $425+ in parts later just to make this possibly 10+ year old vintage machine on par with the rest of shiny brand new single stagers out there on the market. And then you have troublemakers on this forum start talking about a even older HS35 and it's got me saying, ooooh , what's that......
