These were taken by my youngest daughter. I had to show her how to use the camera. But they came out okay. The EOD was like budda!

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,

That is a beautiful machine! The funny thing is that it's most likely very low horse power compared to an equivalent snowblower you'd purchase today. If you were to repower it today with the same rated engine, I doubt it would work nearly as well. Just another example of how HP really meant something back in those days compared to now. If you have more classic snowblowers or other OPE, you should put together a website dedicated to them. There is a great deal of interest in OPE like that.
