Snowblowers

jde2399 asked:


i was told a 5hp engine is the same SIZE enging as a 5.5hp.. that if a snowblower says a .5 horse (3.5 or 4.5 etc etc..) it is just identifying an electric start on the unit.

ds asked:


I’m looking to buy a good, reasonable priced snowblower. I think 10 hp and higher is best but I can only find snowblowers advertised in cc’s. What is a good cc? What is the difference? Thanks

Dribbles asked:


I’d like to see what it would take to convert my 5 HP dual stage snowblower to a roto tiller (I have two snowblowers). I suspect it would be easier just to sell the snowblower and use the money to buy a roto tiller, but thought I would check out the possibility. Has anyone done this?

d-man72 asked:


When I am running my snowblower it sometimes misses packed snow at the bottom or some ice spots that may have formed. Is it ok to tilt the snowblower forward to get those spots or am I going to ruin the mechanism at the bottom? Thanks.

It’s about 20-25 years old, and I last started it 4 years ago, and it worked. I replaced the spark plug, put in fresh gas, and hanged the oil. It’s a pull start, but it isn’t starting. . .Figured I’d ask before it goes to snowblower heaven.
