Snowblowers

Naomi F asked:


I have a 100′ pavement driveway and we get 4-5 big snowstorms a year here in MA. We’re looking at a Ariens 11.5hp 28 clearing path or should we drop back a notch to a 9hp 26 clearing path. Its about a $600 difference. Just don’t want to overbuy and it takes up more room in the garage. Which size should we get and would you recommend an Ariens, Craftsman or Husquavana (something like that on the last one). Also are they easy to manuever?

Thanks.

put into choke and prime but doesn’t stay running
it suddenly stopped working while I was using it. Prime it and starts with gas that was primed then dies. Has new gas and filter this year. Used it twice already this year, and on third time made three passes down driveway and just quit working. Any new suggestions?

Peter P asked:


I went out and got a replacement bolt that holds the handle to the frame of the snowblower. Problem is now the bolt just turns in warped way around and around instead of actually going in. I think there is some sort of nut inside the main part of the snowblower that is no longer staying in place. Any idea how I can tighten this bolt. Right now I only have two bolts on one side holding the handles in place.
