Hey Dennis I have an older Sears 28? model that needs a carb clean. Electric start, installed a 2nd stage rebuild kit. Throws snow across the road into the neighbours driveway. Extremely cheap ($$00) to an old friend. Of course it is under the deck at the back of the house and trapped by 4ft of snow.

ps I did buy a new one which my neighbour is using to keep our driveways clean
