I posted a while back about the 1966 4020 PS gasser I bought from a retired neighbor. Well, I finally got it home and tidied up some spoiled gas issues and got 'er fired up and blowing snow after dark last night. I snapped these photos later, back in the shop.

That Hinicker one stage blower SURE makes the old girl BARK! I wish I would have had the camera along while blowing DEEP snow, with the middle of the muffler glowing RED in the dark and snow... even after I'd checked the spark advance and set the timing to spec!
I remember when the neighbor bought it, in about 1971, as the second owner, I was a kid of about 13 and WANTED it... now it's finally come to live at my place and keep my 1964 diesel PS company! Sometimes it just takes a while to get what you want!
The hourmeter shows 4200 hours, which I suspect is correct and original 'cause it mostly just blew snow from his lane for about 20 years and hasn't been run for over a dozen years.
It would cost most guys a LOT more money to have as much fun as I am having!
