Nice Setup!!!

I have a 725DT now plus have the snow-blower that I had on a 1992 Grasshopper 612, I would need to update the mount on the snow blower to the new style, my dealer says around $100.

I cant imaging how that thing will work on your 727. My old 612 never ever had any HP issues until I would re-blow snow (packed tight) and even then it just would open the governor fairly well.

As I remember the Grasshopper snow blower would throw the snow 45' no problem.

Again Nice machine put up a photo in action when you get a chance!
I'll do that if we get enough snow, so far just 4 inches this year. Wish i could get my pictures right side up

The 345 and 42" thrower is the workhorse.The X595 takes care of the wet heavy snow.IMG_0382.jpgIMG_1393.jpg

I have the Honda HS621 snow-thrower which is made in Japan, all steel construction, and it comes with the Honda GX160 commercial engine.
It's a great little tank, and tosses snow with ease.
Picture to follow, once I reach 5 posts. :frown:

Honda 520. I've got a 2-stroke single stage Simplicity that I picked up last winter for $50 too. Never did get around to making a new set of paddles for it and now it has fuel leak. I think it needs a new belt too. I got it for something smaller and lighter to toss in the back of my truck. I only blow sidewalks and garage fronts when we get a big storm. Otherwise I just shovel. The rest is done with my plow. Detail work around my place is done with my tractor if we get a lot of snow...haven't used it this winter. I'll add the picture shortly. I forgot it's on my phone.

Edit: Added pic

I envy some snowblower owners in this post! I wish to replace my malfunctioned snowblower soon and I'm thinking which one to buy. This thread gave me grate insights.

Cub Cadet 724TE Bought new in 1996. Still working out the quirks. Clean and adjusted the carb today so it is running much better.



And I just got this vintage Montgomery Wards Powr-Kraft 494A. Youza! I got it running today but it needs carb cleaning and a tank gaskets. Runs very rough, lots of popping. Like it's starving for gas?

Does that Briggs serial number decode to 1962?
