You'd probably get a good deal on a blower now Fred. Just be careful what motor is on the new one. There is a lot of Chinese junk out there at the moment. I always look for Briggs and Stratton because they're easy to work on. Even some of the well known brands of blowers are using that Chinese crap. They will surge on you and that is pretty much normal for them. Buying parts is a joke too. I tried to buy a bowl gasket for one which would have been 5 buck at the most on a bad day...not that one...I had to buy the whole carb kit for 30 bucks. That's just clazy lol

Should be all on their tab anyway. That's why you have insurance isn't it?

They'll try and hoop you for sure. They like to collect the premiums but don't like to pay out.
Looks like I can still get parts for my John Deere blower Mark I will have to tear it apart and see how bad it is and then deiced if I should scrap it or not.
Morning guys looks like I will go to work today I need more material for my car habit.

Hi Fred... shouldn't have any problem getting parts and as long as the motor is still good then worth putting money into it.
I really like how simple it is and easy to work on no fancy stuff and just a pull start but no problem it stays in a heated garage all winter.
I think a newer style would be faster though.

Kinda what I thought CF. Sure is built better than the new ones Iv'e seen.
Morning men, -7 hear on the coast sunny,supposed to snow Thursday yippie gotta figure out where my shovel is might get 10 cm...got the oil changed in the Jeep last night took it to work used there heat cheers stay warm !
The old saying "nothing runs like a deere".
Well back home from work not to many hours today but every little bit helps.
I think I'll go fire up the pellet stove and see if it works after cleaning and oiling all the fans.

Hope it works Fred!!
Room fan is the one that was making noise FOG and the bushings looked good so just cleaned all the dust out and some oil on them so she is running now and no noise so far.
It has a high heat shut off but not wanting to try that.
Lots of dust in the shop from my car and would think that is the problem.
Hey SLO we are getting more snow tomorrow about 3" are you gonna get more there.
Maybe sand too !
I would think so FOG I got sand everywhere.

Don't make me start with the sand jokes. Keep in mind we spent some time in the desert!
I would think your still shedding sand after all those years SLO.
I think the sand would be easier to deal with compared to the bugs SLO.
I couldn't imagine trying to sleep and have a critter try and share my bed with me.
Freezing rain coming, last before the power goes out .

Morning guys. Not looking forward to the freezing rain. As long as the power stays on we'll be fine. Not going anywhere anyway.
