Yea don't think it was used much either. This is the kind of stuff that grabs my attention and most others shy away from the "old" stuff. Other than cleaning it up a little don't think I did anything to it. Runs like a clock. With a little care these blowers will last a (almost) lifetime. Belts, friction wheel and a bearing or two and not much else to go bad.
Good find Bill that’s a lot nicer than the HF one
By comparison the HF motor is 3/4 hp @ 4 amp. The Craftsman is 3/4 hp @ 8amp.. go figure...! What that tell ya ? Even the actual size of the motors are night and day different. The HF motor looks like it belongs on a sewing machine.
Yea I have the Harbor Freight on Market place now. Might have pay someone to take it..
If it is priced well below HF, it might sell, Bill! Think I paid around 40-50 bucks for mine a lot of years ago. No clue what they cost now.
