Default Ariens... the best

My father's neighbor moved to Florida about 6 years ago and gave my father his 2-stage, 6.5 hp Ariens snowblower since Dad did a lot of repair work for this neighbor. The snowblower is a bear and was a real tough pull start even though the former owner was a big burly guy. Since Dad already has a big snowblower, he gave it to me and for $198 we got an electric starter which Dad installed. Instead of paying for the starter, Dad asked me if I would give him my little 2-cycle MVP snowblower in trade. I gladly took him up on the offer. That Ariens has worked great, even last year when we had a few 20+ inch snowfalls. I have 60 feet of walkways + an 80 foot driveway and that Ariens is worth it's weight in gold. Last year the sparkplug was replaced at the beginning of the season, and this year it started up on the first try. Thank you Dad, and also our former neighbor now retired to the Villages in FL. Using that machine builds muscles!
