This is an Ariens 2 stage snowblower.
-6 horsepower engine.
-32 inch path.
-4 forward speeds, neutral and reverse.
-positive traction, both tires turn together for extra traction.
-tire chains are included.
-new throttle cable and govenor spring, this thing will go through anything!!!
The engine runs excellent, no smoke.
It Is pull start, but has also has electric start that works (hook an extension cord up to it), I never had to use it though
These are great snowblowers. Dont be scared by the age. Mine started up every time this year with 2 pulls and went threw anything with the chains on the tires
Bump for a great machine. I have one that is extremely similar to this, mine is an early to mid 70’s model from what I can tell, and it runs like a champ.
My neighbors new POS craftsman won’t clear the snow like this little tank will. And don’t worry about getting parts because very little changed on these over time and the Ariens dealer on Seneca St just off the 400 near the 90 stocks anything you might need. Solid steel everywhere and simple to work on. On speed “1” it will cut through the ugly mess the plow leaves at the end of the driveway even when it’s deeper than the auger. Just let it tunnel under, reverse back, go forward again when the cave you made collapses.
my dad has the 11hp/32" version of this one, its unstoppable. We’ve eaten neighbors’ newspapers, toys, floodlamps, etc etc. It’s endlessly hilarious when you run something over and hear the machine choke on it for a split second then whatever it was goes flying out the chute in little bits
somebody def needs to pick this up before next winter
I was at my storage bin the other day and decided to see if it would start. it started second pull. I bet it would have started first pull if I would have pulled it like a man, lol.
