Snowblower woes
#1   Oct 7, 2010 12:19 am
My 71 year old husband has always been very good about maintaining our machinery but on the last snowfall in the spring he blew it , forgetting to check the oil level on our snow blower before starting it.  Sadly the Tecumsech engine seized after 4 feet   . We really can't afford a new one and I've heard that if you put synthetic oil in and let it sit a while you may be able to get it working again. The snow blower is still like new otherwise and if the suggestion above is false I guess the least expensive route to go is to have a new motor installed. Does anyone have an opinion on the synthetic oil theory so I can figure out what to do? Winter is not far off and in the north country in a rural area like where we live a snow blower is a necessity.
