Buddy da antique snowblower

Actually I didn't know how often I had thought why this antique snowblower bothered me that a lot. Not easy to control at all, too heavy ( around 500kgs - 1,100lbs ) to pull out of snow when it got too deep in snow and the caterpillar got raced there etc..... Sometimes really wanted to kick it, but could not do it. It was kinda buddy for me to survive winter. And exactly no one else could handle it right because it needed us to handle all by hand to change auger height, shooter direction etc. Needed too complicated operations at the same time and also needed some sensitive adjustment. And sometimes it was really hard to understand this snowblower. Rarely the engine suddenly stopped on removing snow, sometimes it stopped running. As if a veteran makes fun of newbies. Really vice!! Perhaps it was similar with me. But in some particular situation for example I had to remove snow when it snowed hard mindinig the beginning time to cook holding full hourse reservation with a lot of guests, it anyway didn't stop if I shouted loud like "Don't stop, please... please don't stop for today... please don't stop.. PLEASE!!!!! " That's why I had thought this snowblower being kinda buddy. But it seemed to get too old to keep working as an active one. Some parts to repair got not available any more. Snowblowers are danger stuff. I got stitched my index finger 5 of my right hand because I tried to check the inside shooter making sure all stuff got stopped, but a propella there still worked a bit! That was in February 2000. I did be careful all the time, but accidents always happen when we are lacking a bit of attention. Now my buddy was to leave me today 10th March 2002. Much better for it than gets scrapped. I'm sure the new owner will be able to care for it good. But anyway it left me, now I don't have it with me any more. Probably I will get another one by the next winter. This is kinda remembrance of my buddy the antique snowblower........... webmaster

	A jack worked to lift the snowblower a bit to fix the auger height to load it on a truck.
	It says "snowthrower 11-16" It's 16 hps.

	Control deck. We have to operate this snowblower all by hand.
	This handle is for auger to get up and down.
	This handle is for auger to get its inclination.
	It says "auger" - the top horizontal description. "to incline right" - the right vertical description. "to incline left" - the left vertical description.
