My father picked this machine up for $25 last week. Looks to me like it's a 1964 however all of the engine numbers are from 1963. Here are the numbers: Engine Model: 3.5HP h35-45002b Serial #: 3183-3184 Auger Bucket #: 7-10m 28738 Tractor Model# 7-10m
I've never seen a late model (First Series Ariens) that had a Tecumseh that muffler facing the front of the machine but this one does. Fairly rare I assume. Has anyone seen one like this? I know some Ariens blowers in the 1980's I believe had front facing but nothing this old. I have a 3.5HP 1961 Ariens with a Lauson/Tecumseh however the muffler is off the side.
Also rare is the solid larger rubber tires. Pneumatic tires were optional for this model.
I've attached some pictures. Scot feel free to use these for your amazing Ariens site.
