tracked blowers
Original Message   Jan 26, 2007 6:08 pm
Tracked blowers seem to be about as rare as hens teeth anymore. Does anyone know why? I am reluctent to by a wheeled model , but other than honda , which I cant afford, I cant find anything but wheeled models . I just dont think the wheeled models will have the traction a trac drive model would. Am I wrong thinking this? Thanks.

I also have a Craftsman Model No. 247.88890 9 Horse Power 28" Two-Stage Track Drive Snow Blower with a Tecumseh engine. The one thing I can't find in the manuel is how to connect the light.
There is a lose wire with a connector at the end of it. Where do I connect it ?

The wire to the light.

Mounting the light, metal to metal will be your ground!! IMHO

eblair, On mine I found the wire on the light end wrapped up and stuffed up under the light. The other end is coming from under the gas tank.

My neighbor has an older Chraftsman tracked snowblower.  We just had a 17" snow with drifts.   My wheel driven Yard Machine performed as well as his tracked machine.

As a matter of fact, his snow gathering shut was not as tall as my Yard Machine.
