Jack - it was a pretty good day.  Just enough snow to get in some test time on three snowblowers. 

Here is the 924050 after paint and ready to be put together today after it warms up a bit.

Trouts,  Is that carpet I see?   Are you doing all this in the house?

Friiy ,

Yep, I do most of my work in the living room as I hate to mess up the garage.

Actually, the work area is an unheated garage and cold (just west of Boston).  It was too cold to paint out there so the bucket was lugged to the basement which has ground level access.   The basement floor is covered with not so expensive indoor/outdoor carpet which can be trashed and replaced.  One section down there has one inch pile over the indoor/outdoor but low end remnant which also be trashed and replaced.

Hey cando did you know that your local NAPA store can get a lot of parts for that rebuild.
