Very nice machine. Required equipment in the GWN. 
My craftsman was started, oil changed, lubed etc about 4 weeks ago. Ready for the major onslaught expected this year.

One other person recommended them as well.
It was always taking 6 or more pulls to kick over.
It started OK in September, so I thought I might limp through with it one more year.
LOL.... it didn't make 10' yesterday before succumbing in a cacophony of crashing metal bits traveling in uncontrolled trajectories to parts unknown.

A year ago I wore out the starter rope on mine. I managed to shorten and rewind it since I didn't want to spend $100+ for the whole new one piece rope/recoil. Since it's shorter I decided to succumb to always using the electric start anyhow.
^Thanks Wayne, that's good to know.

My old one has been pretty rough for a few years now.

Thanks Bill, she had some surgery on one of her lungs and then the next day she had to get some emergency surgery. She is on the mend now, just waiting for the go ahead to get out and go home (they figure another week) . We had a few very scary days for sure. But it is good now.
Not Canada, but North Dakota, Canada's limb that dips in the US (as I call it
) has gotten a good bit of snow. Heres a pic I took the other day of the G after giving it a bath. You can see the snow build up in the back ground.
The Continental ExtremeWinterContacts are doing beautifully. I never knew a RWD car could get around as well as this. I am truly baffled.

Speaking of winter, I have been in London Ontario for just over a week. I have never in my life seen such a useless system as far as snow plowing and snow removal goes.
Heck they shut their transit system down again today. It will be shutdown till thursday and it is only Tues afternoon. I walk to the hospital 3 times a day to visit my wife, I have to walk on the roads because they don't seem to use sidewalk plows, I walk through snow piled as deep as 3 feet to get to the Hospital.
My town gets snow worse than this fairly regular and I have never seen roads o sidewalks like this.
Thank God I don't live in London. Hopefully I will be leaving this quagmire of snow covered ****e by the end of the week.
Sorry for ranting.

With the amount of snow they usually get, you'd think they would have a good clearing system.
