Model Number 644E Electric Start - two stage - 12" impeller Changed the oil the day before that first snow storm and it started on the first pull. Was working great until it just stopped moving. My father said it needs a new friction wheel. He wanted a bigger machine and didn’t feel like fixing this one. Still have the operators manual that has 2002 model year written on it. Still runs great it just don’t move. Auger works perfectly I’ll just say $100 for now. I can also deliver if need be. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/bamfer9duce/bamfer9duce/IMG_1591.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/bamfer9duce/bamfer9duce/IMG_1591.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/bamfer9duce/bamfer9duce/IMG_1590.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/bamfer9duce/bamfer9duce/IMG_1590.jpg) ---

98SS10 I’ll ask my father he is pretty good with that shit but doesn’t hurt to double check. Justin I don’t know if you read what I wrote but both of your questions were answered in my first post. > [@bamfer9duce"](#): > > My father said it needs a new friction wheel.

Anyways I forgot to add that I put this up on Craigslist for $130 after I made the post on here. I woke up today at noon with 13 voicemails plus all the missed calls from people who didn’t leave messages. I just took the ad down right away so everybody can just consider this sold.
