Pushing My Old Ariens St-828 to the Limit

[@fiat850super]

Better than many newer high class snowblowers! ❤

[@mathieurehel912]

Those are bulletproof snowblowers ! I'm building one with a 10hp for re-sale and have one for my personnal use and I love it ! Thanks for the share !

Worked on lots of these things when I lived in PA. Ariens and Simplicity are the best machines overall.

[@plmn93]

I used to love Simplicity but they have changed hands a few times now and there aren't many dealers left. Their Signature Series still have the same heavy duty tubular chassis they've been using since the early '80s. Very solidly built but I don't like the electric chute controls they now have, which are prone to failure. The lesser models are old Murray designs that are mediocre at best.

You really get a sense of how hard the snow is when you break out the shovel.

[@JohnSoldano]

That was fucking awesome!!! Thank you.

Gave her a workout for sure! Ariens from the 80's are built to last.

for sure! I don't usually run my old machine this hard , but this winter has been just awful here a lot of heavy ice and rain my poor old garage was weighted down very bad with heavy snow and ice so i had no choice but to rake the roof off , Thanks for watching

Early 90’s as well. Didn’t go bad till around 94-98. Depending on the model and if you’re briggs was made in China or not

@@jeffb8562 this Machine has been Excellent , Mine has the old HM 80 Tecumseh Snow King Engine , Things sure went south for Ariens and others when the old Tecumseh went Belly up in 2009 from what I understand the LCT engines who manufacture and represent the Tecumseh/Lauson Name are doing ok nowadays

[@plmn93]

@@NorthernMaineProductions LCT is the remnants of Tecumseh, still an American company but manufacturing overseas. A lot of people have come to like the new engines for their smoothness, quietness, economy, and easy starting compared to the old L-heads.

It's doing pretty good if you take care of it aswell as you do your push mower 😂

[@NorthernMaineProductions]
