You're just too tall for that snowblower.


Yeah- but it was just right for my pocketbook.g * *$200 & I don't
think it has 100 hours on it.

I've had a couple cheap ones and my son broke the handle on one
horsing it in deep snow. *Tube steel just snapped.
That handle was attached to the body and no way to adjust.
Your best bet is to fabricate brackets where the handles attach to
lift them up. *Heavy duty brackets.


Yup-- That's the plan. * I was just hoping somebody else had made some
mistakes so I don't have to.

Post your question (along with the model number) in this forum. These
guys are really good and some have modified their snow blowers in some
pretty incredible ways.
