So in my search for some replacement parts for a YS828 I came across something interesting and thought I'd share here with SBF folks. I am not sure if its common knowledge but it was something new to me. So appreantly back in the 90s Husqvarna made an identical machine to the yamaha YS snowblowers. Model number is ST 723, ST 926 and ST 1030 (1996-12). A lot of the parts are the same as the ones used for the YS624 and YS828. If you look at the part diagrams you'd see what I am talking about.
As the the title says, too little too late as most of the parts like the Yamaha parts are obsolete
