what's special about the power shift is... [wait for it]... the power shift feature:
you should at least get it running to the point to see if the power shift feature works, and whether or not the transmission is good (my understanding is that it does not use a friction disk).
i have owned and worked on multiple Toro single and 2-stage snowblowers over the years, but I stay away from the power shift models due to their complexity. i've owned a power throw 824xl which had the larger power shift bucket but paired with a 'normal' friction disk setup.
