[Sirrotica]

I'm probably the only person on this board to have owned a 455 Pontiac Stratostreak powered plow:



But sadly, the frame rusted away in 1999, and it went to the big boneyard in the sky. After 20 years of plowing tons of snow, (Erie PA) the broken frame made me decide to give up on it.



This is the current snow removal piece of equipment, I bought it on Marketplace a week and a half ago. Paid $60 for it. It's a Jacobsen Imperial 626 (6 HP, 26 inch clearing path, 2 stage, 110 V electric start). Near as I can date it, somewhere in the mid 70s. The thing is of course made in the US, and everything is overengineered, built like a tank. It needed a set of chains for it, they cost 3/4 of the purchase price ($45). 6 HP Tecumseh Injun engine for power.

I also have a 8 foot Western plow I haven't yet installed on my 1993 K3500 dually, but at this time my driveway is about 24 X 35, and I really don't need an 8 foot plow to clear it.

We have plans to move out of the village we currently live in, to the country, so if this happens we'll definitely need the 8 foot plow.
