:-D

Got it a few days ago(day after the snow). It ran like junk at first and couldn't play with it but after cleaning the carb yesterday, it runs much better. I did order a new one already though.

Took a little bit of work to figure out model info but finally matched everything up. Turned out it is a 1969 model year. I'll probably do a full restoration on it over the summer.

What is anyone else running?

And hopefully I can really try it out this year.


(and you all thought I got a '69 f body...)

My grandfather has literally the same one, actually two one is our old one. It still works when you need it. Not as smooth as a new machine but it gets the job done.

Older machines work just as good as the new fancy ones, I have an old snapper that runs like a bear. My snow removal toy of choice is a Duramax diesel with an 8ft pro plus western plow in front of it though lol

When did you get an LT1 though?

That is considered an Ariens Trac Team. They were power units that could accept a snowblower, air blower and a rotary broom. Most were sold with snowblower attachments. Some parts may be obsolete but a lot is still available. The bronze gear in the front aguer box was known to go bad. I believe Ariens was the first to have the 2 stage snowblower.
