Dropped $310 on a used snowblower off Craigslist in Minneapolis and it died the first real snowfall
That old Toro fired right up in the guy's driveway in August but choked out after 10 minutes of wet November snow, and I'm out $310 plus $85 for a repair quote that told me the gearbox was toast, so did I just get unlucky or is buying used small engines always this much of a gamble?
