Free craftsman snow blower. 10+ years old but worked fine last year. Had some surface rust just sanded it and sprayed it black. Outside 12 Ridge Way Purdys NY 10578. Near the mailbox first come gets...
I picked up one that "runs fine but auger has some issues."
I only posted the two freebies because if there was a free blower in my neighborhood and I had the same/similar model, I would take it for the parts.
That usually means the auger gear case is damaged. A pretty costly and time consuming job, especially with rust-welded augers.
I do the same thing. I have dismantled machines and shelve the parts for future use on other units. I repair so many, that having extra parts available always comes in handy.
Unfortunately, most people don't have the time or the room to store this stuff. I am fortunate in both categories, although I must admit, room is now becoming tight ....
