But for what's it worth, here in Ohio at least, we have not needed snowblowers for about 3 years now. We are doing a fine job with global warming.
Gonna give it a go. Definitely a handy mechanical person. See what condition unit arrives in. If there is any issues it can go back within 30 days. Thanks for sharing OP.

Most of the problems aren't just gas going bad etc. One guy shows a picture of a gear that is snapped in half and another has a snapped chassis.
I went the cheap route a few years back, got 4 years out of it before the auger stopped spinning - burned out the transfer case. It's not machined well or mounted well and "bounces" so the gears sheer very easily. I replaced the worm gear on it, that one lasted a season and a half. I've replaced it again, but that's my last money spent on the thing. $40 total, I refuse to buy a whole transfer case which is going to run $150 on a machine that cost $400.
In the end, you get what you pay for. Spend the money up front because you're likely to spend the same or more later ($400 every six years is $1600 in 18 years - I can get a name brand for about $1200 and it should last 20 or more).
