 Blower
Thanks Guys, the 200 silent seems to be a rare animal.
I am guessing that this being sold as Not working will probably need to have repairs to more than just the declared small input gear. When gears run together and ones crook the other is normally affected.This being so and parts being scarce it may not be such a good deal. Having said that without pictures its hard to make a call.Maybe some more information from the seller will help me decide as im still. If this information is not forthcoming its probably because its in worse condition than would be hoped.
Matt87 sounds like you know your stuff, thanks for the advice.
The following words make for interesting reading.
Inspect Used blowers before purchase!
When buying a used blower at a sale, the first thing to inspect is the ease with which the crank can be turned and anything that suggests damaged or broken gears or bearings which support the gears inside the blower. Grinding noises or a rough grinding or grating feel of the crank in operation is reason enough to look for another blower. Check to see if air is being delivered by the fan. Check for clogs such as bird nests, hornets nests or other debris, damaged or loose gearing or fan blade attachment, and missing or broken fan blades. If the fan will not turn, check to see if the fan hub came loose and is binding against the fan case, or if debris is blocking rotation of the fan.
If any of the following conditions appear then the blower is junk:
grinding gears,
rusted out interior of gear case,
broken gear case,
gear teeth missing or rusted off,
broken housing,
cracks running through bearing seats.
Thanks for your help guys Regards H&T
