Thanks!! I believe its a mid 70s model, from pics on TractorByNet, havent checked into it yet. But the motor, an Onan (HP unknown as of yet), has a sticker that says its in compliance with "1995-1998 California Emissions...blah blah blah". It should last a little longer than any of the Riding Mowers we've had over the years.

HI!... Nice. I kicked the blizzards butt with this. 1978, 15H.P, all steel. I completely rebuilt it. All new custom axles, new sprockets. I regeared it so the turbine spins 20% faster. The front augers spin about 40% faster. It originally had all plastic bushings. I converted it all over to greasable sealed ball bearings. Shoots the snow about 65FT in the air if I aim the shoot strait up. Haven;'t found anything it won't go through yet. I had up to 18 inches in spots in my driveway. Just blew through it like it wasn't there. Everyone around here was having a hell of a time with their little Craftsman 5H.P snow things. lol! :mrgreen:

It used to look like this one. I still have to tear it down in the summer. Going to get everything powder coated blue or red. I haven't decided yet.
