Fireworks-

It is true that some companies have stopped snowblower production.   My friend who works for Simplicity mentioned their production is done and this past weekend they just sent out the last of their factory repaired models (needing minor repairs, bolt replacements, etc. before selling) to the dealers.  There were only about 90 of these, however.

I just picked up the last Simplicity I could find in my county this past week, so the pickings are pretty slim in eastern Wisconsin right now.

It is good to see someone else has one of these odd-model numbered Simplicity snowblowers.  I went one size smaller with the L1226E (which is the L8526E that is on the Simplicity website) and was trying to figure out if this was an old model or a new one.  I had a very hard time finding mention of the 1226 anywhere on the web.  From what you have said, it appears to be the newer labelling and is marked according to the engine's torque rating.

It was just delivered today and I am anxiously awaiting our next snowfall here in Wisconsin.  It is good to hear yours performed well when using it for the first time.
