We discovered this am our laundry room water is froze off, and when I tried to take a shower found out the drain on the tub is frozen. My house is over 100yrs old, and can't get under it. Don't know how were going to fix that. Guess I'll call the landlord and see what he wants to do!
Yeah, the blower is down for the count. Wore the worm gear out in the auger drive. Parts still available, so guess I'll order a new one. Gotta fix the impeller while I have it apart. It's been bent for a while (last few seasons) don't know how it happened, but I use this thing pretty heavily. Clearing parking lots and driveways in town. It ran from about 10 yesterday morning till 8 last night when it broke.

Well, back to work. Just got a call, girl stuck in a driveway!  |
OUCH!! That looks pretty shredded to me. However, before it went, it looked like it was kicking some major snow butt!
Edit: One thing I will say about these Cub blowers is they aren't afraid of a hard days work. My QA42A on a 682 with a siezed pulley (always running, can't shut off and don't have time to fix it) has routinely run 3-4 hours each day we've gotten snow clearing out work, my place, and a couple neighbors' driveways. However, seeing how well yours works, I want a 2 stage now
