I was thinking on doing the same thing for my HS828. Although I would just try to source the joystick and decals from a candian dealer, and use my own motors. I have a feeling thats where the big cost will be.

I currently own an HS828 the model before the 928. I dont find the Honda hard to turn. I simply hold the drive lever and spin it with one hand. Im not sure of the Ariens, but I have NEVER clogged my Honda. Water, slush, slush to powder, nothing seems to clog it. I just recently found out about the Ariens track drive units, buts thats about all I know about them. Previous snowblower was a Simplicity 860, I wouldnt trade my Honda for anything... well maybe a HS1132 or the 1336 Hybrid.
