Honestly, I do kind of enjoy working on OPE, it can be gratifying to get them running, or running better, etc. And buying something that doesn't work, getting it running, and perhaps selling it, then parlaying that into a better machine, or one more suited to what you need, is something that has worked out nicely for me a few times. I am not compelled to amass a fleet (what are a herd of snowblowers called? a roar of snowblowers?) . I want a good, reliable machine that does what I need, for the different categories (tractor, mower, chainsaw, snowblower, etc).
Same here. It's pretty relaxing to work on them. I just got my Powerlite cleaned up, put in new paddles and scraper bar. It should be running in top form now. Just waiting for some serious snow to see how this little puppy performs. It's my little Mazda Miata of snowblowers. Cheap, light, and fun.
