I figured some here might be interested in seeing my Vintage Toro SnowHound in action. I don't think many better snow-blowers have been made, this combines light weight, maneuverability, and power all in one package.
By the way, this has to be the 100th time I forgot the fuel valve before starting it, hence why it stalled and was hard to restart. Today I remembered all the steps and the machine started in two pulls, one w/ the choke to prime, the second to start. I tore apart and rebuilt the carburetor this fall. It will readily handle 1-1.5' snow because of the drift-breaker over top of the single-stage auger. |

Interesting machine. It reminds me of my old Troy Bilt Horse roto tiller from the days when they were real troybilts. It also had numerous attachments available including a snow blade, not a blower thoug that I'm aware of, a generator and a log splitter. It's still working too, out at my sisters farm now.

if I pay you, will you come and do our snow? I would, but my other half actually enjoys shoveling. Of course I help. I could hibernate until April. I never left the house the day we had that 9 inches last week. Now we have light rain, and 40 degree's F. |
