Can you believe somebody had this snowblower for free at the end of there driveway. Of course it wasn't running, but that wasn't stopping me. It needed the second stage Compleatly taken off and heated,straightend, and rewelded. The paint was touched up also,works like new...It was a quite a bit of work but I loved it.I get more enjoyment out of free projects like this than buying a new one.People don't fix anything anymore,it's a shame.

Cant blame them for giving it away Obviously it took quite a bit of work to get it usable, more than they wanted or could provide :) glad you got it working

Yes it did have a free sign on it. He also had a weed wacker, & a treadmill with incline and different programs on it , the treadmill needed a plastic safety key, anybody can bypass that. The weed wacker I haven't looked at yet, I'm up to about 10 of those so far.

Sounds to me the guy was just sick of working and exercising ;)

Some people just don't have any skills and when something breaks they throw it away or he did get an estimate and it wasn't worth the repair. If he pulled the engine and tires that would have been an easy $75 bucks.
