Used snowblower parts
Anyone know of a place in Canada with used small engine parts for sale? My ancient MTD snowblower needs a new 120v electric starter and don't think its worth spending $200 on. Its a Tecumseh 10 HP, starter # 37000. Last resort is Amazon Canada for around $120.

you don't say where you are located but where I am, at out waste disposal site, they have site areas where stuff is dropped off. There are many lawnmowers, etc., there. Some good, some not but I would venture to say if there were elec starts on any of them,they weren't left becuz of the starters ..

Sorry, in Calgary,. but could have one shipped. Rebuild parts are more than the starter new, already checked. Thanks for the replies.

Put things in perspective... go price a new blower out.
A coworker gave me his old one with a 2 cycle in it. Had a bit of work to do oin it as it would get wet and quit. He bought a brand new one and the plastic cutting edge gave him a fit. Ended up building him a metal edge.

May reconsider this idea, just thought if I got one for $50 it would be worth it. Rest of machine is good.

If the rest of the machine is good the recoil would suffice. But anyways Jed's can likely help you out

Try repowering it with a a Chinese Honda clone from Princess Auto. Get a winter unit.
They are way more powerful, more reliable and more fuel efficient than any old Tecumseh or old B&S ever built. A 6.5hp clone would probably out perform your old 10hp boat anchor.
