Hi John My favorite, and I have two of them are Ariens. one is my grand fathers purchased about 1967. It's been re ringed twice and needs a third. the motor makes some noise but it still throws snow like it did when it was new. Also has the side of the block patched up with J-B weld because it threw a rod about "1973".
My second machine I picked up for free cause it wouldn't run right.
I gave the carb a good cleaning and now it runs great. It is about a "1975" model.
I like the old junkers because I have to be able to throw a lot of debris. rocks cordwood etc, so I replace all the sheer pins in the augers and blower with mild steel bolts. I haven't broken a gearcase yet, bent the auger and blower fins and even sheered the bolts that I put in numerous times. As far as I'm concerned Ariens wrote the book on snow blowers, and parts are only as far away as your nearest dealer. Alot of people have even gone as far as to put Honda engines on them.
