Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Heading out to look at an HS621 for $ 125.00 that's supposed to be in good condition. Got to love this time of year - I call it "dump your snow blower" season! Lots of good deals to be had if you keep your eyes open. Hope it's as good as the owner says! Update to follow.

One more - I think I'm getting the hang of this. If so, I will take some of the herd and post later.

That HS-624 is a gem.  How does the metal on the impeller look on the 621?  Sometimes that area does not get enough attention at the end of the season and will rust out badly.  Speaking of which,  I need to do some preventive maintenace.  My family gave me a gallon of "Fluid film" for christmas and I was going to spray down the snowblowers before putting them away (still snow in the shady parts of the yard if I want to run them one last time).

There's some rust in the usual spots but overall it's in pretty good condition. I've got a few spare moments so I'm going to take some pic's and remove the housing on the HS621 to see what the engine looks like. I picked it up in South Boston which is very urban - triple deckers on 5000 square foot lots, so it appears to have lived a fairly light duty life. It was worth the 1.5 hour (round trip) drive to pick it up. Pic's coming soon.

   I'm over in Marlboro and had been thinking about that HS621 for a few days but passed.   At that price in decent shape with electric start it does not matter much if the augers need to be replaced.  

  The CCR3000 might be a bit big for a deck.  A Powerlite would be nice for a deck.  I'd be interested to know how the 621 and 3000 compare in snow.  If the 3000 had decent compression it should be impressive.

   Nice 624W.  I think you picked up either a 7 or 9 new which shoud be very nice.  I currently have a 624T which I've gotten to like.  It's got a very good reverse speed and about as easy to use as a single stage. 

Here's when I first got it home. I had to remove the chute and handle to fit it in my trunk!

Here's one from the top looking down.

Nice side shot.

I had some post clean up shots but they came out blurry for some reason. I'll post some new shots tomorrow.

Trouts: You're going to be upset that you did not jump on this one. I almost did not either but figured for $125.00, I'd take the ride and see what it looked like.Definite keeper and does not need too much to get her in top shape again.

A few more after a fluff and buff. A good tune up is next on the list after I gather a few parts. She purrs like a Honda should - sounds like my old HS624WA (same engine GX160).

A couple of more and some of the Toro CCR3000 that's a work in progress.

Here's a couple of the Toro.

Congradulations, you've got a couple of nice machines.

Good deal for $125.  If the paddles and auger are lightly worn, that is even better.  Electric start is nice but not needed.  These engines with compression release pull start so easy, it's more effort to find a cord and plug them in. 

Looks about the same condition as my HS621 when I took ownership of it.  A few scratches and rust spots here and there, mostly superficial, no pitting.

What's your plan with the machine besides a tune up?
