Mastercraft 5hp /24". model 3/A-612E515

This machine was bougth at a Canadian Tire store in Canada(I'm the original owner), and falls under many different manufacturer names (MTD, Yardworks, Mastercrat, etc)
Well the Pro's has decided (I took it in for an estimate)Old Mastercraft 5/24 has blown her last snowflake. The 5.0 hp engine has turned it's last stroke. It is so badly fouled and messed up that it would be way more cost effective to replace. :(
Wouldn't you know it...here in Edmonton we just
set a record for the most snow fall ever received in one month (as of Jan. 17/11...and the month is not over yet). Out of a needing to know, I walked out into the very back of my property with a tape measure.....47 inches of snow in 7 days!(Sorry I'm not much on converting to metric, but that is over 1 METER for you metric folk).
Love the machine you own, look after the one you borrow even more! - don't be shy give it an oil change & tune up before you return it. (you just might get to borrow it again next time)
I'm still looking for a 5.0 Snowking engine, far be it for me to abandon a loyal and trusted friend!
TWM, waiting for spring
