Heli-arc. Honestly, I never thought of that. I actually have a spare Simplicity, same vintage with no engine. I have been pirating parts off of it. I could not get the impeller off the other one.
The one in the ad, I can probably buy for $150. He already offered it to me for $175. I just figured it would be cheaper to buy that one, than taking it to a shop to fix mine.
As far as Polaris ATVs, there are a lot around here. There are also lots of Hondas, Kawasaki and Yamaha. The guy next to me in my office has two Polaris. One is a 650 and the other is a 800. He is a big guy. So is his son. I just never knew anyone to plow with them much over a few inches.
This guy also has a 24HP Kubota tractor and a 13HP Toro snow blower. He has a 500’ driveway.
I would not buy anything that was not 4WD or all wheel drive. I also would want it to be a water cooled, four stroke, with automatic and reverse.
I use mine to pull sleds full of grandchildren.
Then their mothers complain the kids smell of 2-stroke exhaust LOL.
