IH #80 snow blower ?

Are they any good?

A friend blew a LOT of snow with his, don't think he had much trouble. I horse-traded for it when he got a B-I-G unit, but I haven't used it yet. I am going to look up parts availability for and prices for the gearbox parts "just in case"!

Another guy in the neighborhood has one, his Dad bought it new "back in the day" and he still uses it, so I'd ASSUME they are a fairly good machine.

They are a very good snowblower, I have had one for 18 years and put every type of snow through it.

Do they throw the snow a good distance? I have a JD 676, throws the snow a good distance, but is too narrow for my tractor tire width. Have seen a few brands out threre when used that barely toss the snow more than 10-15 ft.

It will throw the snow 60 to 80 feet depending on the snow

Bearings and seals are available for it and that is about it. Shafts are NLA for the gearbox, gearbox case is NLA. I have a 70. Smaller brother of the 80. Good blower.
