I always run my Briggs classic 3.5 on 400:1 2 stroke oil (Duckhams 40SAE intended for motorcycles) and winterise with 100:1. Seems to keep things clean and free from corrosion. Chris

I use Crown Penetrating Products , also WD-40. When it comes to Fuel Treatments Kleen-Flow and Lucas Products . In Oils Amsoil for 2-Stroke and Valvoline and Quaker State for Auto and Rotella-T in my Diesel .

The EHP wpm's have used dry lube for a while for the wheels, I still use lithium. All things weighed, I think the wheels stay rolling better and last longer. I always clean the anti-sieze out of the Toro clutches and use grease. Kleen Flow doesn't sound familiar to me. Seafoam fuel additive I use and tried their aerosal -Deep Creep? I bought a can. Smokes nicely like trans fluid.... Use this when the grabby OHV's need some special cleaning. Used to use ATF and I forget what until the oiler wouldn't oil no more.

Tom: Kleen-Flow out Sell Rislone up North Here . Probably not in your Area of the State lol .

MMO and Chemtool B12 carb cleaner. Zero brand loyalty to anything else. I generally use what ever 10w 30 is on sale and 87 octane gas. For lubes and such, I just bought some Auto Zone 80 w 90 for the Arienses. The stuff that drained out looked like cafe au lait and there was very little of it.

"The stuff that drained out looked like cafe au lait and there was very little of it." Very descriptive, not tasty- but descriptive none the less. If you are having challenges keeping lube in the snowthrower gear boxes, you should be able to pack them w/ #2 lithium and be fine.
Had that nice "cafe au lait" when I drained one of my air compressors today. Me bad. Might be a good thing to pull the drain and swish something around in it anyways. Whatever that will be.

Tom , have advised numerous Buddies of the Grease within Snow-blower gear cases , when the seals are old and dried out . Sometimes this is better than rebuilding the gear-case including new bearing or bushings and seals ..etc. Especially when there Disposable Older Units.

Tom, these are 2 freebies that I have acquired in the last few years. Out of a parts pool of 5 , I have created a matched set of runners. Last year, I got them going well enough to blow snow. It worked, I didnt have any blow-able snow after New Years. Now that I have a pair of runners, I can start doing PM and renovations to bring them all the way.

This was first time I drained the pumpkin. I have no clue as to leakage.A certain amount is prolly just condensation, the thing doesnt get hot enough to cook off the water, like a car engine or transmission would. Next, I have to find the air boxes and belt guards. Then, I am gonna paint the chutes and install a home made "Clarence" kit to the impeller tips. BTW, I drink black coffee :) Other than a few belts and carb kits, my only investment has been my time. Fun time, a struggle, and a pay off when what I've been tinkering with, runs good.
