[Shop-talk] Snow blower

[Gordie Bird]

Geez, I don’t know Al, seems a bit steep for a low end blower, assuming single stage as the MTD I am familiar with.  Generally pretty sturdy, I had a single stage 21” MTD for long enough to replace the paddles.  IIRC, I barely paid $200 for mine new.
It’s sure a good thing to have here in Michigan.

Anybody know anything about this snowblower?  A friend’s brother is selling what looks like [in pictures] to be an MTD 5HP, I’m guessing 24 inch.  I don’t know how old it is.  

I live in Michigan, so it DOES snow every winter.  I can use a good sized blower, though my drive and sidewalk aren’t terribly large – certainly not the 8000 sq ft on the house I sold!

He is not terribly mechanically inclined, so I have no confidence it will be in great shape [I haven’t seen it, and it’s a little bit of a drive away].  Last I heard, he ‘managed to get it to start’ last winter…  

Any ideas of what it’s worth? $200?
