Ariens Small Two-Stage Snow Thrower Cover *

I bought the snow blower January 2, 2010 and assembled it in less than 30 minutes using easy to follow instructions.

Assembly included: mounting the handle (four bolts) mounting the discharge chute (two bolts) inserting and pinning the chute crank (one locking pin) and connecting the speed selector linkage (two bolts). Even the mechanically-challenged can handle this assembly.

I woke up the next morning to 3" of new snow which added to the 14" already on the ground. The machine started right up and ran like a top.

After clearing the new snow I went to work on cleaning up some of the old snow that accumulated. The snow blower made short work of it, even though a freezing rain made the old snow pretty crusty.

I purchased the optional cover for my snow blower and it fit like a glove right out of the box.

I own an Ariens snow blower 824 stage 2. I do not have a shed, nor a garage. I used a tarp the first year which did not work too well at times.

I had reservations about spending so much for an Ariens cover. One day in the late fall I went to buy an electrical cord for the snow blower. While I was looking at the no-name covers an older gentleman who worked at the store told me he had an Ariens snow blower himself.

To my surprise he said "I would buy the Ariens cover, it's much better and worth it". Well, I have to say after numerous snow and ice storms in the winter of 08-09 this cover is well worth every dime.

I would recommend if you have a 2 stage larger than 24 inches, that you buy the larger cover.
