Am pretty sure that when Michael Dukakis ran for president in November 1998 or 1999, he had a political campaign ad that featured his very old Craftsman snowblower. It was something like a 1960's model that he purchased new in the late 1960's or so and stored it in his little one car garage, and had been using it every winter for the driveway-sidewalks at his house in Brookline, Mass.
The intended message was he was fiscally conservative and not a big spending politician.....my type of guy......right-o....or something!
........
For the record, I have two snow-thros: one is an old Toro 3-hp two stage, and the other is a newer Craftsman 7 or 8hp two-stage that I just bought a week ago for $240.
Winter........bring it on!
Somewhere in Maine, someone has created a snowblower museum in a barn or something next to their home, and has collected a lot of various old snowblowers. Tried to find a website for it but no dice....?
