I have a model 31AE295-515 (60-3752-8) Series 1HO 21B20 775. Can you advise me as to the proper size for the belt for this model. Thank you James Maxim
I have a 28in snowblower I bought 3 years ago but I cant find a head light bulb to fit it
I have the owners manual 60-3754-4 which tells me I should change the oil every season but nowhere does it say how much oil to use, what type, where it goes or how to drain it.
