I picked up a Murray 22" two stage self propelled snow blower for free about 10 years ago. The guy didn't use it anymore, both tires were flat, and fuel leaked out of the carb when gas was put in it. I pulled the bowl off the carb and found the brass float had a small hole in it, so it would fill with fuel and not float and shut off the fuel flow into the carb causing it to leak out the overflow port. I replaced the float for $8 and put tubes in the tires and have been using it every year since. I do both of my elderly neighbors driveways along with mine, which are about 100-120' long. It has a 5hp B&S motor that always starts on the first pull.My leaf blower is a poulan pro yellow thing
scored it as a return for $55 shipped iirc.
$8 for the special carb tool and some tinkering, and it's been great ever since.
back then i could get that stuff like crazy via ebay.
stuff that they confirmed ran was "Refurbished"
other stuff "parts not working"
scored a bush trimmer for $25 bucks
just needed a carb kit @ $10
something was funky with the diaphragm.
And i have like 3 bushes, they are little.
meh, $35!
since the poulan pro stuff sucked out of the box and was mostly sold at places like walmart.
If you see my little shelf, it's all poulan pro stuff. and it was all dirt cheap!
Heck, when i tossed a top end kit at my chainsaw.
I realized i only paid $120 for it (50 cc model).
I thought pretty seriously about buying another refurbished one vs rebuilding it...
I have too much fun with this stuff.
This is what happens when you sit behind a computer all day, and cruise ebay and amazon when it's slow.
lol

I haven’t had any trouble with returns to Rockauto recently.Amazon fell thru. I ordered two jugs of oil and the filter at the same time and the oil isn’t going to arrive til the 21st. Im working a half day tomorrow so I’ll go buy a third jug at wal mart. Someone said RockAuto- I like rock auto, I’ve bought some stuff there. They wouldn’t let me return a full set of calipers for my grandpa’s ram still brand new in box a few years ago so I quit using them at that time. That being said maybe I’ll start using them again. I still go there all the time to look up part numbers.

Just ordered my circle d converter.
did some thinking, went with a low stall double disk converter.
decided gas mileage and to keep the temps down.
+ i went with the 6.0...
Now i get to question my decision... lol
I just wish they had more options, 2200 - 2400rpm would be awesome

Be sure to look up the current RA discount code over in the parts threads.Amazon fell thru. I ordered two jugs of oil and the filter at the same time and the oil isn’t going to arrive til the 21st.

Yeah it’s usually worth 5%. RA usually gets my stuff to me in 3 days.Be sure to look up the current RA discount code over in the parts threads.
Same here. When I ordered a new rear impact bar to get the trailer hitch, they said 10 days, but I got it in 3.Yeah it’s usually worth 5%. RA usually gets my stuff to me in 3 days.
And my dad wondered why I didn’t want to move to Denver a few years ago...I’ll have to try them again. Last attempt, they wouldn’t ship to me, since our idiotic legislators enacted new tax laws that RA didn’t want to have to figure out.
