U Joints for Ariens snowblower shute crank
Original Message   Jun 4, 2005 7:24 am
I've put together the tractor unit for the 1970 Ariens I've been refurbishing.

The new Intek OHV engine interferes with the original crank, which was a straight rod. Other Ariens blowers use tow universal joints to change the angle. Only issue is they're about $25 each at the dealer.

Any reasonable alternatives? For $50 I can probably find an entire parts snowblower.

Got them today They're a lot more substantial than the OEM version, I might even replace the ones on our ST824.
