This guy has a great site about old Ariens machines. There doesn't seem to be much activity in the snowblower section here, though it isn't really snow season yet. You might get more response over at the discussion forum on this site: Love the site and appreciated the welcomes, BTW. Any thoughts? It is in my avatar, but I can snap a few more closer pics if that would help somebody pick a date. Reading some posts there was supposedly good and bad years of this model, just trying to narrow the year down. Choke off and throttle up (on the handlebar deck) and it runs like a champ. One pull with the choke fully on, and she was running. It primed on 3 pushes and actually fuel spilled out somewhere near the carb. The carb has the old style adjustable jet on the bottom of the bowl, and no bowl drain button. It has an electric start hook up, but just spins and buzzes, not engaging. It also says "Deere and Company, Moline Illinois." The engine is yellow and stickered JD, but is stamped HM80, which I learned is an 8hp Tecumseh. The serial number on the lower left back of the frame is M00826X599751. Anybody have any idea date of manufacture on a snowblower I just bought at an estate sale? It's a JD, marked "826", no "D" or "T" anywhere on it.
Alright guys, I've read this entire section of the forum.
