Your tractor is the same way. If you put some time and money in it you'll have a quality machine that will serve you for decades to come. If you do the work yourself you'll know that machine better than anyone f anything goes wrong down the road.[/QUOTE]
I feel the same way. That is why my newest Cub Cadet is at least 30 years old.
I have rebuilt and repaired or re-powered most of them and they all start and run like new. Last year I rebuilt, painted and re-powered a clapped out 1872 that I was going to use for parts. It now has triple hydraulics, 3 point hitch new ag tires and a EFI 28 HP Command engine. It looks and drives like new and I am sure that my grand kids will be using it when I am gone. Some people thought I was crazy for spending almost $4,000.00 to go through it but what can you buy new today that will compare to it. I say fix the Snowblower you have, do it right and it will still be blowing snow 30 years from now.
