Get a pair of SBS skids to replace the stock ones. They raise the blower 1 inch above the gravel,and are longer to go over uneven spots. Run about $38 a pair and well worth it to stop gravel pings and no need to rake in the spring.

The 1970 Ariens 724 has been a workhorse again this season. Have only had to replace the impeller kit for maintenance so far. Definitely due for an oil change. If we have a window of no snow in the long term forecast I may see if the trusted service shop, Maestranzi Brothers, can take it in for overhaul/service. Some heavy stuff moved today and over the past three years since its last major service.
