While the exact years of production may vary, it's generally accepted that it was available during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The engine is typically a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh gas engine, often in the range of 5-6 horsepower (depending on the specific sub-model or year). Electric start was a common option, enhancing ease of use in cold weather. Being a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it away from the cleared path. This model provides around a 21-inch clearing width and an intake height suitable for handling snowfalls of moderate depth. Expect a throwing distance of up to 25-30 feet under ideal conditions. It employs a wheel-drive system, typically with multiple forward and reverse speeds, controlled by levers on the handle. Chute control is usually manual, allowing you to direct the snow discharge. While not always standard, some versions might include a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or late evening snow removal. Heated grips are not a common feature on this particular model.

Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or obstructions. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
Shear Pin Replacement: Always keep spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if the auger stops turning while the engine is running. Use only the correct shear pins specified for your model.
Fuel System Maintenance: Use fuel stabilizer in the gasoline, especially before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes to ensure proper clearing height and prevent damage to the auger housing on uneven surfaces. Regularly inspect for wear and replace as needed.
