Opened up CL last night just to get a good laugh at the sudden price increase in snowblowers locally and boy people didn't dissapoint! Last week's mid $200 machines somehow went and became $400 machines! LOL After being tickled for a bit by people's opportunistic ways, I refreshed the page before closing it (never know) and JACKPOT! A new listing shows up for a "70's Wheel Horse Snowblower"! I read the ad and it was obvious this fella needed some money quickly. *Side note* : If you don't want lowball offers, don't put "I'd like $160 but make me an offer, need to move it quickly" in the title. So I sent the fella a message offering $100 cash if it has compression and spark and got an almost immediate "Sure does. Just needs a fuel line and it's all yours." WOOOOHOOOO! Went and picked her up and it's way better than I thought! Has the WH enclosure and everything! True to his word, I swapped the fuel line, drained the gas, changed the earl, popped in a new plug, and first pull humming! Come to the conclusion it's a 74' Trailblazer 7 - two stage with the Tecumseh 7hp (by Lauson) motor. I'm STOKED!! I' haven't moved snow with it yet but everything appears 100% operational and mechanically sound. I'll be taking the enclosure up to the nice Asian lady (who does some fine upholstery work) to get new plastics and a couple patches done. I have NO idea what these go for, but I'm fairly sure $100 isn't putting me on the short end! Don't matter because she's not going anywhere. Any input, advice, suggestions, tips, etc.. are more than welcome! Thanks! (Snow moving update and more pics to come)
