Late Spring Snowblower Score

[Bar Nuthin 2,386]

Wasn't looking for a snowblower, but happened to catch a good deal on a really clean tall chute nearby our office in Plymouth, MI.

Should be a nice upgrade from my crusty old short chute.

Just need to take it the @peter lena school of lubrication before I store it for the summer.

A lot less blast spray off the chute compared to a shortie so you won't look so much like a snowman afterwards. 

You can tweak those auger ends back into shape with a crescent wrench.

Yup - annual maintenance item.

Sell the old one in the fall - and it's a win-win.

Hardly looks used, unless some touched it up.

@Bar Nuthin good score , if nothing else , get a good penetrating oil  spray down on that  , to feed that dried chalky paint , retain / recover original patina , also a good time to  use a  threading  die nut , on the lever end of the chute swing  rod  ?  what could you possibly do ?  pick up a matching  threaded  screw on knob , local  h/ ware , big box , much better with gloves / mittens , pam spray  chute , for slick discharge . also like a  snow  slider  gasket under the chute base , for  effortless  swing . agree on the auger  blade , rebend , chain / cable spray on auger drive , have regularly tweaked , any hang up spots , sold one like that years ago ,  pete
