Craftsman 8hp Track Drive snowblower in Kemptville, Ontario for sale

Very well maintained, runs really nice. I have had this blower for a few years and I have always used high test, professional annual service including carb work, oil change, belt inspection, lube and checked all bolts for tightness. I have some parts, part numbers and the original service manual. I always took really good care of it, and it always took really good care for me. It has 6 forward operating speeds and 2 reverse speeds, and it is a dual stage or 2 stage snow blower. This snow blower is also equipped with a unique Weight Transfer System. this is a pedal that when engaged it shifts the weight of the snow blower to the auger housing, keeping strong contact with the ground effectively eliminating ride up on hard or thick snow. I used the snow blower on a smaller double driveway and a 65x24 backyard rink.(rink is/was the reason for trac drive) it's a large, well built solid steel, heavy duty snow blower that can and will take on any size storm easily and quickly. I posted a video of it running the morning of Feb. 7th 2015, cutting deep into a hard packed snowbank, it didn't miss a beat.
