Hi Howard, I wonder what it was like when your house was new. The world war was in the not too distant past. Jack Dempsey was the heavyweight champ. Do you think there were sidewalks then. Paved streets. I don’t suppose your garage was there yet. Any cars passing by were most likely black and model T’s. Whoever lived in your house probably sat in rockers on the front porch during the hot summers drinking lemonade. Probably an outhouse in the back yard.

City Hall has photos going back to the late 40's.... It's very interesting. The front steps came down across from the front door with a walk going to the sidewalk. The garage was tiny like the neighbors and up close to the house. I pulled all the past building permits issued, before purchasing the house.The garage currently there was built in 2002. The windows were replaced with casement windows back in the 60's.... all the windows except the casement windows were replaced in 2012...... the casement windows got dual pane thermo glass at that time also. I couldn't find when the porch was changed , but I assume from the photos, that was done in the 60's also. The past owner had two Model A's. Thats why he built the larger garage. The past owner was here since the mid 60's.

What kind of a tree is that outside your back door with the C9 lights on it. It's a very odd shaped tree. It's kind of mushroom shaped. That old Montgomery Ward snowblower seems to do a nice job. I'm sure it would be a bit less impressive if the snow was wet and heavy but all snowblowers get taxed with the wet heavy stuff. So far, knock on wood, I've only had a couple small snows here in the NH seacoast. At the moment there isn't a flake on the ground but the weather gurus are saying we may be in for a dusting to an inch on Saturday. That's fine with me. Less to clean up.
@OldCarAlley 2 күн бұрын
The tree is a Dwarf Snow Fountain Cherry.... a man grafted tree. They don't grow in nature. It has solid white flowers in the spring.... looks covered in snow, but there flowers. Last winter I used the Ward's blower.... every snow was slushy. It still worked good, but the chute would plug now and then.

These older machines from the 1970s & 80s are virtually indestructible if you maintain them, and outperform most snowblowers made today. I have a nearly identical 1980s Snapper to one that you featured in one of your older videos. Today we received the same powdery snow in the Chicago suburbs. I finally had chance to use the Snapper for the first time this season, and the 4hp Tecumseh started on the first pull 😎Happy snow-blowing!
@OldCarAlley 3 күн бұрын
Yes the old ones are much better.... My regular service snowblower is a 1976 Ariens. The two stage Snapper was my folks. It was a great snowblower. I gave it to my folks neighbor when I sold their house. I had an older Snapper two stroke single stage with electric start that was garbage picked. It was an amazing snowblower. All it needed was a good carburetor cleaning to get it working. Kinda wish I kept it, but gave it to a friend who loves it.

Ward's power equipment was manufactured by Gilson Products. They made great products..... some of them much better than Sears or Craftsman power equipment. This snowblower has almost no use. With my borescope I can still see all the machining on the cylinder walls still. With the snow and the lights still being up, no way I could not go out in the cold and get some good video of the lights in the snow!

I am really looking forward to riding this bike! I hope to order the cables and brake hoses today. I hope to sand the body filler today too. Once the parts are painted, the bike will be very close to being finished. I'll install the electronic ignition closer to when I get it on the road, as I will need to have the engine idling to set the timing correctly with that electronic ignition I purchased for the bike..... I might have snow to deal with today though. Hoping the snowblower starts "IF" we do get the snow..... it has not been started since last time I used it, though I did drain the gas, so it should start.

My Corvair’s ignition system couldn’t be in an easier location to access. I still put on electronic ignition and never looked back. I’ve put them on all my MerCruiser’s over the years too. It essentially turns the ignition system into a set it and forget it scenario, removes a lot of variables from tune up issues. Even though I usually still carry a set of points and condenser in the glove box, I’ve never had one fail.
