I found a craigslist snowblower for my 310-8. How heavy is this? Could I muscle/finesse it into my car trunk.

 

BTW... I am Scotch/Romanian so I am really strong and really cheap.

 Sluggo,

   Guess would be around a hundred pounds more or less.If you remove the chute you can lift one side into the trunk and then raise the other end you might load it yourself.I would suggest the chute removal not to lighten the blower but to give you a an extra grab point and reduce damage to the chute.The blower itself is pretty tough but the chute is thin sheet steel.Best solution is bribe a friend with some liquid reward and get a second set of hands.Loading will be much easier with two people.When lifting the beast watch for pinch points.The auger rotates freely.Luck,JAinVA

Sluggo,

   At least going in you know the seller can't help.Some years ago I bought a bush hog deck from a guy in Saltville Va.He says he has backhoe and loading won't be a problem.I get to his place and he answers the door with one hand bandaged up and tells me the backhoe won't start.I had planned for no help so loaded the bush hog with a comealong I brought just in case.I loaded in the driving snow and was happy I'm a boyscout at heart.Luck,and let us know how you make out.JimAnderson

      JD LX-178 with Kawasaki 2 cyl water cooled engine.
      Great shape except for the front hood.  Cracks have been patched, and hinges on the hood itself are broken.  Hood sits fine, just does not open & close properly
      NO DECK!
      Includes (4) John Deere suitcase weights, a John Deere "maintenance kit", and rear chains.
       
      Well maintained.  Snow blower presently not mounted.

      Snow Herd is Ready
      By wh315-8
      10HP with 42” blade, C-85 w/cab & 42” Snow Blower, 315-8 w/Ark Loader. Ready for some snow ❄️. Last year had up to 14” in Ohio. 
      Snow cab windows were fogged up bad and I used MeGuires PlastX, this stuff was easy, apply like wax, rubbing it in and wipe off, amazing how it cleared that plastic window up.

      Shear bolts - Who needs them?
      By Bill D
      Picked up this Toro Power Max yesterday.  The rake is shot but the gearbox is good and the shaft isn't bent.   Why Toro doesn't use shear bolts, I'll never know.

      I got hold of a Wheel Horse snow blower model 6 6212. It has the crank with cable to direct the shoot. Everything is there but the spool the cable is wound around. Can someone tell me the dimensions of that spool. Diameter and length. Thank you.
