Picked up a free craftsman snow blower off Craigslist. The owner just wanted it out of his garage. It had no gas cap, bottom panel was loose with no screws attached to it. Choke lever was missing, and it wouldn't start. I fabricated a gas cap and choke lever, cleaned the carburetor and replaced the fuel seat in the carburetor, found screws that fit the panel and now it runs great. Listed on Craigslist and Letgo for $175.
update: sold to rich for $150
