This is my snow removal team at the moment. The tractor is a 1972 Simplicity 728 with grader blade. The snow blower is a 1982 Simplicity SnowBuster 220. 2.7hp Tecumseh 1605 2-cycle, 20" path. My grandpa bought this blower brand new on 2/18/82 for $230 at Coast to Coast hardware

That SnowBuster does alot better then my neighbor's MTD single stage that is the same size. It's starting to show it's age though. A chunk of the plastic broke off below the paddles. The 728 and grader blade do great for scraping what the blower can't get

My old man just asked me yesterday if I would be interested in an old Simplicity walk behind blower...a freebie from a coworker. I said, heck yeah, so we'll have to see what model it turns out to be =]

I had a 1963 Sno-Away walk blower, it had the same tranny as the Wonder-boy rear engines. That thing was a tank. I think it may be time to retire the SnowBuster. I'm still trying to find a plow or blower for the Broadmoor. Post some pics if you get it, I'd love to see it

I have had several snow machines over the years.My first was used Jacobson 16" snow blower.It could handle about 6" with a lot of forward and back motion(human drive).When I bought my sears garden tractor in 1976 I bought a deck, plow,and blower for it.I soon found out the blower was not made for tight spaces or hilly yards.I next bought a used AMF,Sears badged blower and used it for 10 years,what a beast.The Sears is still running at my daughters house.In 1999 I bought a new Ariens which I have added a higher chute to.I would put it against any 8 hp out there today.Last picture is the side of my driveway two years ago.That is a 4 foot panel ruler in the picture.
