Where were all of these "toys", when I was growing up? :dontknow:

[ARtraveler]

I really like that. I could even do my own plowing again. :yes::yes:

You'd just shoot your eye out. :roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

:D You'd never have to leave the house... :D

[Orange Spyder Man]

[Bob Denman]

That's easy... :D
We live too far North; for our own good! :shocked:

[grumpybob]

If only it could be that easy around this neck of the woods.

Other than changing the oil and getting a fresh can of gas, I have not had to use my snowblower yet. :yikes:

[Bob Denman]

[Bfromla]

Already sheared a shear pin on the PTO shaft of the big snow blower, heavy snow it was. Had to snow blow trails in the back yard for the dogs with the little snow blower.

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: We've never taken out a shear pin... :bowdown:
But if it's a heavy storm; we'll take several passes during it, in order to lessen the load. :thumbup:

I'm from South Florida, we know what the white stuff is. But, isn't that a lot to put up the nose

I had Honda's biggest, (an 1125? track drive) for a few years. That thing ate shear pins like the Oldsmobile in the Christmas Story movie ate tires. :roflblack:

I kept at least a dozen of each kind in my tool chest. I could remove and change the front ones in about 10 minutes. The rear, where you had to remove the auger, got down to about an hour.

I was glad when the tranny finally went. I went to another brand and so far, so good. :yes:

We've got a Troy-Bilt 24" model...
5 years on, and it's been flawless! :2thumbs:

The Troy-Bilt 28" is the one I currently have. Fourth season, and flawless.

[Bob Denman]

Does it have a Honda engine? ;)
Mine does, and it just keeps on rolling. :thumbup:
I change the oil at the start of each Season, and it seems to stay happy.

How would I check to see if the engine is Honda?

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Gee... Ours just has it on the air box cover...

I told you I was not very mechanical. :bowdown::bowdown:

[Bob Denman]

Look at the Black "Metal Thingie", that sits above where you don't want to put your hands when it's running...
If you see:
H O N D A
anywhere on it; there's a good chance that it was built by Honda... :D



...Unless it's got a Briggs & Stratton engine... :shocked:

I cannot find a name plate on any of the "exposed" engine parts. They have this machine pretty much covered up with tupperware. If I get to the point where I have to do an "operation," I will look further.

[Bob Denman]

Here's to hoping that you never have to! :thumbup: :cheers:

That's easy, Honda is very proud of there stuff and they charge for it, probably worth the extra cost.
If it's a Honda they will have their name in big bold letters someplace it can be seen without taking it apart

[Bob Denman]

I just took a look at Troy-Bilt's website...:shocked:
They're calling them "Troy-Bilt" engines now. :dontknow:
My guess: they're buying engines from an outside supplier, and slapping their own name on them now.
There might be some info in the owner's manual...
My apologies for not checking this out sooner. :opps:

[DrewNJ]

But this is probably more appropriate for SL.

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Do you have one of those? :D

[DrewNJ]

:shocked: Do you have one of those? :D
I don't really fit the category for the second one....

[Bob Denman]

Oh;that's right
Your Mom wouldn't allow you to play with them. :shocked:

You might... :D


...poke your eye out! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I think that I'd prefer this setup anyway...
