What's on your bench?

If it has lights then it has at least a "lighting coil" that should put out enough juice to run heated handles.
Changing standard bulb to led should free up enough to run them at the same time.

Thats badass! Problem though. That style would have to be slid on. My tubes r all bent. Not possible with out cutting and welding. Dont wanna do that. Believe me i thought this through. Its gonna have to be like a flat pad style or like a wrap of sorts.

I have a slightly newer Craftsman snow blower that I maintain.
I once tried belts from the local auto store, don't do it. They cannot handle the spinning motor when not engaged or at lest when being engaged. After 2 snowfalls drive belt was slipping badly.

Since then I order the parts and belts from MTD LLC.

While hand warmers might be nice (especially with all the snow we have had this year), the cover on mine (thanks to the wife! ) helps a lot! For me is Cold Feet....

This year I had to replace the carb. Yes I purchased the Real Replacement at $90. Blower runs best it has in years. I would really like to rebuild my old carb and have it as a spare.
I know its a Tecumseh motor. What I don't know is what under this cap in the bowl area of the carb....

View attachment 283398 Doin some maintenance on the old girl. Shes been used little, i know the lady personally . Next door neighbor that i shovel snow for
Glad i have it this year! It has a few quirks but ill bet its been sitting for 8 yrs. Its worth its weight in gold and i wanna keep it that way! Lol! But im not a snowblower tech either. First of many questions...... im replacing all three belts (one shredded already, may have been like that actually when i got it) is there any brand that is better than the next? Ive done a lil ebay searching and found about 5 different brands.
Mtd
Rotary
Stens
Pix
True blue
And maybe a few others. They seem to all be within a few bucks and id like to just buy the best i can. Thanks!

I have one very similar and it’s made by AMF and or Murray. Get the model number and cross reference the first 3 digits here:

Mine has been bullet proof up till last storm. The plastic chute tore out at one mount hole. I found an oem, made in USA replacement part on fleabay made by Briggs&Stratton for $40 shipped.

The carb kits are very easy to do. The carb is a fixed jet/nozzle (no screw).
Very simple to overhaul. And cheap.
@breese

Nothing more on that 261 mtronic decoding thread to add???

Finally got my blower on the tractor all sorted out. Ran it up and down the neighbors driveway. The city and their front end loader made more room for snow in my front yard.

Am I reading it correct that the city put that in your yard to make room to push more off the street?

Yep. Live in a cul de sac. There’s no place else to put it. All of the cul de sacs (courts) have this around here. They usually go up about 10’ or so into the yard. This guy was a subcontractor abs went a little beyond that. In the spring they run around and “fix” your lawn. Replant grass if they rip up sod.

Thank God I'm a country boy.
