If you're mechanically handy, used snowblowers that need a carburetor clean or a shear pin can be found all over Craigslist in my area. Complete bolt on replacement carbs can be found for $25 on eBay. I paid $100 a few years ago for a 28" Craftsman that's an absolute monster, took about an hour to fix everything wrong with it.

A couple years back, I got an old Craftsman snowblower off Craigslist for $250. Forget the exact stats. It's from the mid 90s, 8hp, electric start, 26" wide, 24" tall. Fired up on the first pull. Bought it in November while it was still warm outside. Fixed a handful of small stuff on it, lubed up every joint, tossed some paint on the rust spots. Runs great.

Ahh that’s a good idea, and if I didn’t already have so many projects, I’d probably do that!
