for 10 HP plan on spending a grand or so. I don't know one brand from
another, but my 3 HP Toro (gas oil mixer) had been very dependable for me.

As you're buying a 10 HP, please be sure and read the manual that comes with
it. Most of them at that size are chain drive for the drive wheels. The
chain needs to be oiled every now and again. I know this, after having seen
several snow blowers with chains rusted solid.

If it won't start, spray ether on the paper filter, not into the spark plug
hole. If you spray into the spark hole, the piston will sieze, and it will
kill the motor. I know, cause a neighbor did this to my Dad's generator.

Okay after last nights dumping of 12" of snow, I figure I 'll open the
wallet and get a snowblower.

What I need is the scoop on the good , bad and ugly of what's out there.

I need at least a 10 hp

Thanks ,
