I just bought a 7 ft dual auger ARPS Model 70 snowbower shown below.
ARPS apparently was bought out by Amerequip in the early 1980's and discontinued making snowblowers. It's in really good shape and appears to be a heavy, well-built machine. The only dings I see on it is the lower auger is dinged up a bit but that seems par for the course for used snow blowers. It's not enought to impair its functionality.
Does anybody have any experience with these units, good or bad? Anybody know where to get manuals adparts lists, etc.Are parts difficult to find? I would imagine that any chains, sprockets, bearings, etc are standard type parts avaiable from an industrial supply house, bearing suppliers,etc.
