Its a particularly effective assault device. It chews infantry up and blows the remains back on their rear guard. does wonders for moral

Hammer,
You have a lever for forward speed, I have to assume you have hand levers that work "Turn On Spot". My tank does not have TOS frown
But it's a Craftsman smile

No independent track control and no differential, so no turn on spot. But snow is usually slippery enough that I can just hold her for a second and yank right or left to pivot. Its a pretty small snow blower. My last on was a Craftsman too. Old, big, and hard to control but fast and lasted for ages. It was old when i got it and and I had it for 21 years! It backfired when I was starting it one time and the start rope yanked out of my hand before I could let go. It pulled muscles in my hand and forearm so bad my arm was useless for two days. This new one is slower but so much gentler on my body smile

You probably owned the same craftsman 10/32(10HP,32"wide)then. My parents gave it to me when they purchesed a TOS unit. @70 they decided snow was not slipery enough.

frown never grab a recoil handle that tight. Fuel is blended throught the year for optimal flashpoint. It is so easy for old or wrong seasonal blend to cause a "back kick".

It looks like a nice unit. I hope they use bearings on the drive cogs and abandoned reliance on press fit of self lubricating material. My axle keeps loosening the clamping bolt because the axle corrodes in the summer and locks with the low friction plastic.

I still love it. I can clear the 20' airfield wall they built for "sound".
