This 2410 was bought at Lowes in Altoona Iowa. 2nd snow fall in 2008 and the starter quit working, took it back to Lowes and they gave her a new one. Worked the rest of the season. This year,2009, the same thing happened. She called TroyBilt said to take it to repair shop. Repair shop let it warm up and it started then told her there was dead spot in the starter and charged her $31. Went up to her place for x-mas and it did the same thing, starter wouldn't engage. I went to repair shop and talked to them and he told me it might have a china made engine on it and would have to contact TroyBilt for repair autho, I asked why he didn't do that the first time. answer was it started, I said no it wasn't starting. Now she has to take it back into the shop. I checked the internet for parts and the troybilt page took me right to the MTD parts page. WTF it's an MTD you have to be kidding me. DO NOT ever buy one of these snowblowers EVER. My MTD has for many years, last year I put a starter drive in and it starts evertime. I told that story to the repair shop and he started two-stepping for me, maybe this will take care of it, maybe not. The TroyBilt saga continues

Best I've ever owned! by: Ron in Nebraska
After receiving 23 inches of snow in the past 2 weeks, 2 of the snows were 10 inch storms, the Troy Bilt Storm 2410 was a champ! I would buy it again in a heart beat and recommend to anyone who will listen.
