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

I've had my 2008 Craftsman (Husky) 14.5 Torque Rating B&S Snow Blower 881063 (881060) since new. I had a failure today I don't really see reported. Other than that been a good reliable blower. The control rod (16) for the augur activation snapped off right about at rod level just above where the rod mounts to 66. Cheap part but on order.... at least it broke toward end of job. I guess just metal fatigue after more than a decade of moderate use.
