Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Every search on Ariens snowblowers brings me back to this site so here goes.
I know the reputation and the durability so when I saw one out for the trash I had to grab it.*
(A few years back a co-worker did the same thing, threw some parts into it and offered to sell it to me for $500.)
Ariens model #924028 with 7hp Tecumseh engine.
Still runs. Just ugly with two flat tires.
Any good source for info and maybe parts?

*I grew up in Mass. Blizzard of '78, the April Fool's Storm(30") and everything in between.
 My father used the same Ariens machine from 1973 until 2005 before upgrading.
 He has a brand new Ariens and he STILL won't give me the old one.
