okay folks i just got this crazy idea to start a thread about strange things we have found with our snowblowers.

you know ..the ladder you werent really missing but it was under the snow .

or the door mat or the stick or two of firewood.

i have found the ladder and also an extension cord.

It was the squirrell for me.There was a dead squirrell in the road for about a week or so. After a storm the plow pushed it in the sidewalk. Well,Steve just happens to run over it.Stalled the machine out.

I looked in to see what it was and it was lodged in the back of the bucket. I was pissed.How was I going to get that thing outa there.I decided to start it back up.What do I have to lose? I then proceeded to jog the auger.Squeezed the lever quickly about 3 or 4 times and out it came.I must say Craftsmans do a pretty good job on frozen squirrells.Anyways,It made it back into the street.

Nav,

That is the funniest things I've ever heard of doing with a snowblower   I think you should win an award for that

BTW, since my snowblower doesn't have shearpins, and not needing to worry about breaking any, I have no doubt I would have done the same thing.  No way I would have tried to pull that thing out.  With my luck, I would have yanked on its tail and it would have pulled off leaving it's frozen carcass still jammed in the impeller.

I got the ole extension cord on my maiden run with my blower last year. A common malady I guess.

I remember Navihawk's squirrel story from last year and roared when I read that post. I even have this site saved that someone posted in that thread. Watch out Nav. They still be lookin for ya.     Kevin
