Single stage with metal augers?
Original Message   Feb 4, 2012 7:34 pm
Saw a Craigslist ad today for a 21" MTD 2-stroke blower. As best I can tell it's a single stage. Small wheels with no tread, and what looks like a guard for a belt going to the augers, on the left of the machine. What I thought was interesting was that the picture appears to show metal augers, as opposed to rubber paddles.

I didn't realize there were SS machines with metal augers, vs rubber. It presumably wouldn't be able to pull itself forward very well, since I don't think you'd want those hitting the ground. Sorry if this is actually a very small 2-stage and I'm being misled by the pictures.

I just thought this was interesting, since I hadn't seen something like this before.

The little 3.5hp engine on mine blew up after a couple of years.  I don't remember what make the engine was.
