Thanks for the welcomes everyone,

Yes it's a canadian model, not exactly sure of the year, I was told about 7 or 8 years old. Anyone know what year the electric chute controls came out?

Highwind, I'm in Prince Edward Island, Canada and it's the hydrostatic. I hope the hydro drive proves to be as reliable

18Degrees, LOL....... Yeah, looks kind of funny, but I'm actually clearing a path back to my burning barrel.

Doug,

I talked to the dealer's mechanic when I bought mine, and he said he had never replaced a hydro drive in one. They are quite reliable. There is so little stress on the oil and mechanical parts and no routine oil change. You'll be using it trouble-free for years.

Doug, where are you located at? That treeline back there in your picture looks great.

And the plume from your thrower looks like the "Old Faithful" geyser going off.

1961 Snowbird with a 4hp Briggs in action!

Certainly not as impressive as the photos above, but after 44 years (with a little help from me) its still kicking butt!

Nice old iron Marty. I went out to the shed this morning and fired up the machines just to keep them fresh. I was eyeing up the backyard for a quick run. LOL. Decided I didn't feel like cleaning it off. It was 50 degrees here today and clear blue skies. Must be getting spring fever. I was thinking about crabgrass preventer. Right around the corner.

Thanks guys for the compliments!!

18 - Nothing like clearing off the grass for a quickie "snowblower fix!"

Chris - At least I have DARK glasses on. Gotta keep the M&G tradition going somehow...

Kevin - It was 57 degrees here today. Nothing like it was 2 weeks ago with 20 degree temps & the wind blowing 30 mph!! I hear ya about gearing up for spring & getting the lawn in shape - its right around the corner & snowblower season will be over...

Richie - Ask & you shall receive...

Those "skid shoes" are actually idler pulleys that the previous owner stuck on there - they work ok! Like those bald tires too? Makes for almost zero traction in the snow! BTW - the snow that I was blowing was about 8 to 10" deep, very wet & slushy. This little guy was actually throwing the powder about 15'-20' 2 weeks ago. I LOVE IT!!!!

Marty
