That 35 year-old Ariens looks super. Did you repaint it?
Hey, I just realized, you're one person that managed to wear out an small engine before the machine it's attached to rotted away or fell apart. What's your secret?
Rehosted the photos a few years ago.
1970 Tecumseh H50 versus OHV B&S intel Snow.

And the machine after replacing misc bushings, bearings etc and repainting. My brother still uses this machine to do his driveway and several neighbors.
I've had good luck with B&S and Honda so no dog in the fight.
Very nice Ariens! I'm currently restoring a 1960s Ariens Sno-Thro. The old Tecumseh knocks really bad so I'm replacing it with a Briggs 9HP snow engine and repainting the machine. Where did you get those tires? The tires on mine are original and super dry rotted.
