Mine is a Craftsman 24" with a 10hp Briggs. I needed a narrow one to get it in the garage around the cars. It has heated handles and steering assist etc. That thing can really blow snow and walks right through the heavy stuff. It has a bit of rust on but loads of life left in it. I change the oil usually every year depending on usage but still has the original plug. Now 11 years old and works great.I can't complain. 12 year old Craftsmen 28" , still throws the white stuff pretty well. All I've done is change the oil in the fall, replaced 1 belt, replaced 1 control cable. The starter switch went out last year, so it's wired direct.. just have to be quick with the extension cord to start it, lol. Rust is taking it's toll though. I'm going to look for a new one later this winter, see if I can find one on clearance.
