So I acquired a 1968 ariens snow blower from a uncle who got it from a neighbor about 5 yrs ago. As long as I've know this machine it never ran right, my unle had it serviced, even had them add the 110v electric start because it was to much for him to pull, he has Parkinson's so his blowing days are done. So I took it home because his grandson has a quad with plow and he told me last time he used it it died halfway through drive way.
So I did what any good American would do...threw a harbor freight engine on it for 100$!!! It's a Honda clone we will see, actually we won't because I'm certain it won't snow now. It's a cool machine very simple zero safety features, u can literally let go and it will keep moving augers going and all, eating small children and pets without regret! I will keep the 47 yr old engine who knows maybe one day I will go through it. Thought I'd share

Re: It's not going to snow again
I can't figure that out. I have pics on my phone, but besides texting those images I'm to fucking slow to figure out how to post them!
Also I never thought about it but were u all aware there's a snowblower forum!? I got pics of the same exact model with a guy doing the same exact swap! Gee whiz inter web

Re: It's not going to snow again

Imagine that- a forum for aircooled engines from the 1960's.
