As I recall 3600 is the engine's do not exceed speed. Most engines I've worked on I set to 3500. I do that because I have one of those vibratach's and they...
Looks like there's more snow for my litlle snowblower tommorow morning, pretty excited about that, I'm thinking about adding manual throtlle contorl so i can...
I'm kinda supprized that you do not have throttle control. My Gilson is in the photos area under 1977 Wards file. If you look at the pic labled Left side...
If you're talking about adding a remote throttle control I would suggest you not bother. The machine is meant to run at full throttle. If you need to be away...

Hi all, Just discovered this group and Pete's page - real interesting stuff!! I wonder if any of you have ever come across a Brentwood snowblower. I found one...
If it is a 1980 then it is a UniTrol. The Brentwood's that I have seen were from the early 1970s and were 26 inch gear drive machines, very much like the 55002...
Gee, thanks Pete!! You answered many of my questions! I have had a good look at the site, and if I do end up purchasing the Brentwood, I'll know where to go...
Where the Brentwood machines were sold is still a mystery to me. Canadian tire can probably be ruled out since they had the Mastercraft brand. Montgomery Wards...
