Default Snowblower model number 6709

It's a four stroke. Look for a square plug, at the base of the
engine. I've worked on enough of these kind of thing.

I'm thinking an old Jacobsen, but I'm also probably mistaken.

No doubt in my mind, it's a four stroke.

For the oil fill, look for a plug about two inches up from the base.
The plug will be about an inch diameter, made of plastic, and have two
rods you can put a screw driver between the two small rods that stick
up from the oil cap.

Curisous ... what prompted you to think it is that old? There is a bit
of dust on it as I did not get around to clean it, but what did in
general prompt you to think that?

Change the oil? I thought this would be a 2-stroke engine??? Do you
see
an oil pan somewhere on this snowblower?

Thanks.

OK - here are the pictures

It will open a list of picture files - just click on any to open

it.
The first two are close-ups of the plate with model/sn on it. The

rest
are different angles and sides so that someone might identify it.

Can anyone identify it?



There is really no reason to identify that thing. It's probably 30,

or
maybe even 40+ years old. If you need more than a spark plug or a

belt
for it, it's toast. If it runs, use it. Change the oil, and grease
whatever speaks, if it makes you feel better.
